Page 2 Following those two me were Rogers,Robb,and Wreath and it 1865 Dr McQueen (who in 1912 was Moderator of the Assembly in Edmonton). Prom 1685 to 1917 when the two churches were united,the Presbyterian students in the field were Boyle,McDonald, Scott.Kendall,Taylor.Bcthune, Henderson,McGinnis,Bennett,Yeomans,Rose,Nichols,White,Black,Forbes, Pinlayson, Ellis, Pope, Runley,Walker, Haynes, Bundy ,Falls, and Felstead. To the Methodists belongs the honour of being the first to hold regular service-this being held at the home of the late William Allen, for three years,until the school was built. Mr (afterwards Professor) Stephenson being the first regular minister-1883, For the nine years following,the ministers who laboured on the field were Bedford,Brown, Appleton,Parkins on,Auams on,Wright and in 1692 the year of the building of the first church,a Mr. Fry was the minister. The church burned-a fire was put on to dry the plaster and from this the fire started/ It was indeed a hard blew on the little group of pioneers,who were building and finding it quite a struggle to make a home in a new country.' Not until 1899 were they able to undertake the task of rebuilding their church. The minister at this time was Mr Kitchen.He was so anxious to see a place of worship for his people that he said that if they supply the materials he would raise enough money for the cash outlay. He went into all the camps,entertained the men with his hand organ,then took up a collection to assist in financing the church. The people gave time and material and in this way the church was completely out of debt the year it was built. The Methodists now had their own church but the Presbyterian Service was held in the Orange Hall for some years but about the year 1905 both denominations held their service in the church,one in the morning and on in the evening and we arc pleased to say that both services were attend . by the same people. Other ministers who laboured in the field in the cause of the Methodist Church were Carscadden,Petch,Sodden,Clubbine, Fish, Payne, Houghton,Horricks,Cochrane,Severing,Jones,Halbert, Burnsides,King and Kennedy in 1916. It may be interesting to note that 'site Dunn of Goldenburg was the first representative elder to represent this district at Presbytery, He attended the First Presbytery of the District of Algoma as elder representative for the congregations of Day Mills,Bellingham,Iron Bridge ,and Thompson. might also be interesting to note that his son Mr Robert Dunn of Bellingham was our representative at the Presbytery meeting in the fall of 1936. Dr Findlay, Superintendent of Missions,visited the field for the first time in 1666 and for the next twenty years he paid periodical visits to the district,once or twice every year. His successor the illfated Mr Childerhose who was killed in the Spanish River wreck paid two visits to the field during his brief tenure of the Superintendency. Mr Byrons, who had visited the field with Dr Findlay in the year 1906 as convenor of Home Missions of the Algoma Presbytery,paid his first visit as Superintendent of Missions to Iron Bridge and the other appointments in August 1912. In the year 1917 a temporary union was formed between the Methodist and Presbyterian churches,and the first minister to be on this charge, under the new ruling was a Mr Kirkpatrick who came to the field in July I9I7.He stayed on the field for two years,and since that date the following men have laboured in our midst, Campbell, McKay, Ware, Bearer, Farmer,Anderson, Newman, McKinnon, Rickard, Holmes, Currey,and Mr Stymist.
