over a century the norval church is unique tat that it has retained the same religions affiliation with which the congregation was organized as a mission slf frasers church now known as union presbyterian church tbe congrega tion was first gathered together in 1835 for years later a quarteracre or land on the brow of a hill to tbs south of the newlysettled village of norval was purchased from jamas mitchell at tbe traditional price of five s and a frame church was built the two churches norval and union were linked in their beghmings and have continued under the servic of the same pastors during an entma century sundays services also marked tbe diamond jubilee of the completion of the present church opened february 23 1879 in 1903 the church was re novated and a pipe organ was in stalled the congregations of norval and union churches were first served by itinerant ministers but in 1846 the rev patrick gray became the first inducted pastor of the two parishes rev mr gray served the two con gregations for four years and after being vacant for two years the pas torate was filled by rev joseph alex ander he remained 35 years the longest term of service rendered by any minister called to the joint pas torate the presbyterianism of the congre gation at norval was shaken at times by internal dissension in 1875 tbs first organ to be used by the congre gation was installed in the frame church on the hill but not until lengthy debate- had ragedv over tbe possible impiety of the use of such musical insurument similarly when the presbyterian church in canada adopted tbe use of a hymnal opposition was raised by some of the members of the congre gation and not until 1806 was tha use of hymns in the services permit ted and then only on the condition that there be but one sung at each service and that there be no amen sung to it although in 1925 the question of church union was discussed with al most the same fervor rearrangement of the congregation under the terms of church union made little differ ence to norval for when a number of tbe members left to join the unit ed church presbyterians from tbs nearby congregation ot mount pleas ant church which was ceded to use new united church joined the nor val presbyterian congregation and its numbers remained approximately the same the church is at present in tbe charge of the rev arthur legette
