HISTORY OF CHURCH (Continued from page 1) pulpit was back against the north wall, with a stationary seat behind for. the ministers. The seat had high ends and was heavily upholstered with repp and trimmed with heavy fringe. The pulpit was high and wide and at each end was a coal oil lamp fastened to the pulpit with nails. The church was lighted with coal oil lamps, and all the seats were numbered. numbered. and rented. Tu 1871 a Sunday School was organized. organized. There was neither organ nor choir ini the church for some years. When the Union of the Wesleyan Wesleyan Methodists and the Bible Christians Christians took place Shiloh came to be part of the Newton ville circuit. The 'Sunday School used 1 to hold what was called a Soiree in June, in a grove. Great preparations were made for these tea parties, currant loaf, cookies and cheese seemed' to toe the bill of fare.: In 1891 Rev, E. T. Cbu-rtice came on the circuit. He was the means of having a new and: better shed built. This was completed on November 19th, 1891, on land donated by Thomas -Soueh and his wife Maria. Ip 1895, when- Rev. Wesley Down was on the circuit, it was. decided 1 to remodel the church, and the walls and ceiling remain the same until today. At the reopening a hot goose, supper was served and the new shed used as the dining hall. In 1914 another improvement was thought best,:-so the church was rais^ ed and a basement put under it. In October, 1914, another reopening was held, at which Rev. W. Down, one . time pastor, took charge of the services, add- Newcastle 'choir had charge of the music. When the Rev, E. W. Tink was on the circuit, fifteen years ago, we celebrated celebrated our Jubilee Anniversary, with Rev. J. I. Wilson, of Toronto, having charge of both afternoon and evening services and! our own choir furnished the music. Rev. Wilson was the only one in the large congregation who was present at the dedication of the new church in 1862, he himself being- a full qualified minister and leaving . in a few days for his first charge. In 1924 our shed was again remodelled», remodelled», Rev. Wallace being pastor at that time. 'Shiloh is now a United Church, has an up-to-date equipment, equipment, its lighting being gas, lamps. Many changes have taken'plaice since our first service seventy-five years ago, but we have made progress and prospered, also are free of all debt. Our present pastor is Rev. E. L. Beech, I>. A. On October 17th. 1987, we celebrated celebrated our seventy-fifth anniversary, with Rev. Thus. Wallace of Greentoanfc, a one-time pae-tor, preaching at both morning and eytoing' servilees. In the morning he took for Ins test Deu-t. -26 : verses 10 and 1.1, liis subject subject Was achievement, opportunity, andi an open gate. He told, of planting planting a tree and how it grows while we sleep, our pioneers pl-an'ted a church and it is still growng, they are dead but their work still lives. He a-ked. "What are we doing with our opportunity? what are we planting ? are we bringing -well clean No. 1 fruit, quality and quantity ? In the evening Rev. Wallace took for his text, Mark (6:3, subject "Carpenter of Nazerctli." He told! how Jesus is making and mending human lives and broken homes, reminding us that Jesus was a working man, and that the pierced hands are hand's of His crucifixion and. the résurrection reveals reveals the Kavimir of the world, Jesus gathers all our efforts and en durance a ml builds a church, we are builders! and what are we building ? At the evening service Miss Gwen Gilmer -arig a: solo "Je : sus- is Calling," Calling," after which the congregation sang a verse and the chorus. At the morning service Mrs. Clins. Cowan, of Near castle, a one-time Shiloh girl, sang a sol 0 "Be Still." Our own choir had 1 -charge o-f the music at both services and did remarkably well. The décorations were beautiful and in PUBLIC SPEAKING (Continued form page one) "My Most Tn-terésting Trip." : 'No. 15--Not- present.

We receive much criticism on these speaking contests, some think, it should be in the f orpi of i. picture,, ' others stories and sq on. Every year this is brought up for discussion and it is always decided that a story is the best. If adults who; do the criticizing were in the chilli-on'» chilli-on'» places they would not do as good as some of these young speakers. What we need hi this teaching course is the parents to work with the teachers and the teachers to work along with the trustees arid parents, and now I want to introduce to you the guest speaker of the evening, Mr. Trussler, Mr. Trussler, in his opening remarks, remarks, said he had never heard any- ting quite so good as he had tonight from the children of this. County, and that he had also learned a lot about "Edith Oa-vell" and 1 "Our King." He said that he would like tc see all the teachers, trustees and ratepayers join the Teachers' and Ratepayers' Association this, year, and it Was their aim to try and have all the educational bodies of the province work together. The teachers in the rural sections want more money for their services and the trustees are trying to cut down their expenditures. He said lie had a plan that will raise the teachers' salaries and also help lower the expenses of the trustees. He wanted to see the teachers and trustees work together, and all other educational groups hold, a meeting of all other bodies---the elernetary department, department, second; elementary dept., .professional dept., administrative dept,, the Women's Institutes, Boards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce. He spoke on manual training in Forest Hill Village in Toronto, one of the richest residential sections in the city. The boys in that school take up manual training and have everything to work with, but after they were finished never put this training to any use, and here in the country where it would) be very useful, useful, the schools were not equipped to carry it on. This also applies to the girls in regard to domestic science. Ontario pays less from the provincial treasury for schools than any other province in the Dominion with the exception of Quebec. Ontario pays 11 per cent, and the rest of the cost is thrown onto the municipalities Then the municipalities cannot afford to pay decent salaries to their teachers, teachers, who in turn look to the larger centres for positions. This makes it hard for the rural sections to hold good: teachers. What we should ha ve is a central government to pay the greater cost of the school taxes: Ontario last year paid only five and one half million dollars on education, while they made twelve and a half millions out of liquor. In Canada last year education cost each person at the rate of $3. The government will spend money on other things and at the same time will neglect the rural children. He stated that at the Royal Military Military College in Kingston, it only cost the children $1,400. for three years, and that included their board arid clothing, but who went , there, only rich's men's; children. The farmers cannot Stick together, together, they once had their government but only lasted one term, but if they would only stick together and ask for things they would get them, he said. The rural country is always paying keeping with the occasion. Gne of the decoration's was the beautiful birthday cake with its seventy-five candles and was picturesque and unique. unique. The day -arid weather was ideal and all that could-be desired. The attendance was large, the music was excellent, and a fit closing would be to say: "Praise. God from Whom All Blessings Flow." The following is n list of ministers who have preached at Shiloh church: .1874, Rev. Newton Hill; 1876, Rev. George Leech; 1879, Rev. Wm Scott; 1882, Rev. Wm. 'Scale; "18:83, Rev.

We hope no serious results followed followed our old Orme from his exposure exposure to the Arctic ozone of liis native dwelling habitation, we should hope not. Any man who stand trailing a trout stream for twenty-four hours at a stretch, put up with the jeers and cat-calls of an opposite baseball fan mob, or have his ears almost frozen taking in a horse race, why a few hours exposure would not! fiz on a physique such as found on our old- timer Orme. Just the same a little "cordial" would help to pass the time and keep the circulation in order. order. Is it not remarkable the difference fifty years or oven- twenty-five makes in the annals of a quiet neighborhood. neighborhood. With Schools and Home Clubs, Young People's Church Clubs, and Speaking Contests, and the number number of young people that take part in worship programs in the district, all goes to show for the betterment of the community at large and well being of all concerned. Likewise in music, at those meetings just note the violin solos 1 , piano and various other instruments that are brought out, all of which goes to show that the best in our young people is being being developed and brought out, and will have a lasting effect on their later year's. Those who are interested in orchestra orchestra music in the City of Toronto are trying to bring in a bill to raise money by taxation, somewhat; similar to that which is going to be tried, here in reference to a paid professional professional band master for the town's' Legion Band. A wealthy city, such as Toronto is, should have no trouble raising the necessary amount for such, a purpose. In a town like this .a good teacher and conductor is what the town' should hia.ve to conduct the band and also bring on a class to take the place of the old down-and- outs, or teach and bring out a school band'. The harvest is ready for a, competent .man in this line, but the New Year will show how the wind blows, to say nothing about horn Mowers.
