The second action was the issuing of permits for the making of "home- brew." These were also issued by the Federal authorities and constituted -an unfriendly act toward Ontario peo- ple. There should have been a strong protest against such action by the Provincial Gevernment. bh: 'The proposed "Government Con: ' trol" will render bootlegging easier because the source of supply. will be easier of "access and every person under 21 years of age and all tourists, who (not being residents of Ontario) will not be able to secure permits, will become the natural customers of the bootlegger. There are some very strong ob- Jjections to be urged against "Govern- ment Control". The first and great- est is that the people who favor the freer distribution of liquor favour "Government Control." Evidently the new law, should it come in force, would 'mean greater freedom of ac- cess to intoxicating liquor. The second objection is that if the sale of liquor is to increase the re- vepues of the province, drinking must increase proportionately. You cannot have the revenue from this source unless you spend more money for in- toxicating drink, That is bad; but there is a still graver objection--in order to keep up this trade that shall produce the re- venue, you must have a constant supply of new material--your boys We really don't want our own. children to be the "material" out of which] "| these revenues are to come.

F. G. Weir Port Perry has had the Salvation Army and also the Saved Army. The Baptist Church was built as a Mechanic's Institute. Just a little while ago the spire was pulled down, as it was .sup- posed to be dangerous. It was found however to be exceedingly well built and would have stood according to one man, "A Charles- ton earthquake." The Centre Road of Scugog might very well be named Church Street for there are at present four churches along its and there have been as many as six. The history of church work on the Island begins with the establishment of a mission among the Indians, by the Wesleyans, about 1845. For two or three years from 1850 to 1852 or 3 Mr. Joseph Shilling, father of Mrs. David Elliot, was stationed here as teacher and exhorter. From 1853 for some years the work was attached to the Cartwright and Manvers missions. In his re- port for 1854 -55, Rev. Thomas Hanna of Cartwright Mission stated "This mission embraces the townships of Cartwright and Manvers and the Indian work on Scugog. The want of an assistent according to arrangements of conference has been a drawback especially on the Island, where there should be two Sabbath ap- pointments, one white and one Indian." In 1862 the Scugog work had become a part of the Prince Albert mission. Rev. C. Syl- vester reports that he has visited Scugog regularly preaching every two weeks. The work continued thus, apparently, until the union of 1883, when the following circuit arrangements were to take place in Reach: In Port Perry the Canada Methodist Church was to be enlarged and be the church of the circuit, while the M. E. Church was to be sold, the circuit would then have one appointment. Prince Albert was to have three appointments, Prince Albert, Prospect and Shirley, the B. C. church at Prince Albert to be disposed of or converted into a parsonage, Man- chester was to have five appointments, Manchester, Greenbank, Saintfield, Marsh Hill and Mark's Corners. Seagrave three ap- pointments, Seagrave, Shaws and Pleasant Point; Scugog three om the Indian and two others. Thus the Scugog work became a mission with its own min- ister who for several years resided in Port Perry. In 1893 the Scugog Quarterly Board passed the following resolution: "That we request the Conference through the District to allow the Trus- tees of Scugog parsonage situated in Port Perry to sell the same and apply the proceeds to the building of a parsonage on the Island as we think it would be in the interests of the mission for the pastor to live on the circuit with his people." This request was granted, the parsonage was sold and a new one was built on the Island somewhere between 1893 and 1895. In March, 1895, the Board invited a young man named Boynton, who was at the tim preaching in Little Britain to be pastor and offered a salary of $375. They did not secure him. The first church built by the white people was that known as the Head Church which was built by the Episcopal Methodists in 1860 and dedicated on Sunday, September 8th, 1861. The people of the present do not realize at what a sacrifice some of these places of worship were put up and maintained. There are mems= bers of a certain family who remember the winter they lived on buckwheat, and carried buckwheat pancakes to school every day because their-father had sold all his wheat and seed grain to save the church from being mortgaged. Following is the account of the dedication of the Head Church: "Last Sunday we had the .. Church in Gamble's neighborhood at the Head of Scugog Island. Rev. Mr. Petitte preached an excellent sermon in the morning to a large and attentive audience. His text was Genesis 28: 16-17. At 2 p.m. the Rev. Mr. Curtis, of Brooklin, took for the foundation of his discourse, Chron. 28:9. The Rev'd. Gentleman addressed his discourse to a large concourse of people. In the evening N. H. Davis Esq., preached to quite a large congregation from John 1:29. We congratulate our friends on the Island upon their sue cess in erecting such a beautiful chapel. It is a credit to the Island. The building cost with the shed $677. On the mo of the dedication there still remained a debt on the church to t amount of $177. This debt the building committee and trustees were anxious to pay off. As the church had been built by a few it came heavy upon them. The building committee were agree- ably surprised to find at the close of the dedication services that they had raised by subscription and collection $181, four dollars over and above what was necessary to pay the debt due on the church. The result must have been beyond their most sanguine Sxpectations to th f ccording to the announcement of the services Rev. C Taylor was to preach in the evening. Apparently for Pe Chaties gon or other he did not come so Mr. Davis preached in his steead. In 1868 two Shrches wef built, the Christian near where Mr. John McGregor li ible Christian near where Geo.
