To this school in 1866 came William Osler, son of the Rector of Dundas, and afterwards Sir William Osler, world famous physician and surgeon. He was confirmed in St. Philip‘s on June 20, 1869, Dr. John Austin Worrall, for many years Chancellor of the Diocese, was also confirmed in the church in the year 1867. Among those incumbents followâ€" ing Dr. Johnson, the name of Rev. R. W. E. Greene appears in the records in 1886. He later became Canon Greene and was a well known and well loved figure in the Toronto district. in May, 1888, the first St. Philip‘s was burned to the ground, being ignited by sparks from a burning house across the road. A new pipe organ had been installed the Sunday before, but by valiant efforts, it was saved, and after being rebuilt is still in use in the present church. For six years after the fire, service was held in a chapel (now St. John‘s, Weston), which had been built in Dr. Johnson‘s time for his own use. However, in 1894, it was decided to build another church on the old site. This time it was a Gothic building of brick. Set as it is in a peaceful churchâ€" yard entered by a lych gate and surrounded by trees, it has always been admired for its architectural beauty and mellow colouring. The bell, which was placed in the tower by the women of the congregation, is considered to be one of the finest in Canada. t In 1920 a redistribution of the Mimico Glebe monies gave St. Philip‘s a new financial stability, and in June of that year the Rev. F. Robertson was inducted as the Tirst rector. Mr. Robertson miniâ€" stered for ten years and during that time two Mission churches were opened â€" St. Andrew‘s, Thistletown, and St. Matthias, Scarlett road. During Mr. Butler‘s incumbency and especially in the last ten years, a great increase in the population of the district has meant that St. Philip‘s has grown from a country charge into a busy church in a rapidly growing suburban area, and may before long find itself in the role of a city church. Under the leadership of the rector, the congregation is doing its best to meet the challenge which this great growth places upon it, and in 1950 a fine new parish hall was built and is providing adequate facilities for Christian education and recreation. However with the influx of new families in the comâ€" munity the seating capacity of the The church celebrated its cenâ€" tenary in 1928 and two years later Mr. Robertson retired and was succeeded by the Rev. T. B. Butler, the present rector. ca\ yF * Mrs. Donald Payne is seen after her recent wedding in St. Pl{ii]lp’s Anglican Church, Weston. The bride, the former Barbara Grainger, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Grainger, Weston. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. R. R. Payne of Peterborough. Hallâ€"Taylor Central United Church was the setting for the marriage of Reta Evelyn Taylor, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Francis H. Taylor, Wesâ€" ton, to John Macdonald Hall, son of Mr. and Mrs. Annson S. J. Hall, Weston, on Saturday, June 6th. Rev. E. B. Eddy officiated at the ceremony assisted by Rev. C. Creelman. Given in marriage by her father, the bride wore a porâ€" trait style gown of white organdy over taffeta, Lace edged the porâ€" trait neckline, above a tucked bodice.

Mrs. Donâ€" ald Payne and Miss Elizabeth church is taxed to the utmost and it will soon have to be enlarged. On all special occasions, it is necessary to arrange for extra services. To make this possible, the Bishop arranged for St. Andrew‘s Thistletown, to be taken over by the parish of Woodbridge. A new rectory of modern design is now being built on a lot beside the church, so that with the hall, these three buildings will fl be adjacently situated on church property. Among the many gifts and memorials which have been added to the church in recent years is a gift of land by Mr. Rein Wadsâ€" worth, member of a family interâ€" ested in St. Philip‘s since the earliest days. This has extended the church yard very considerably and is known as the Wadsworth Annex to St. Philip‘s Cemetery. It is expected that this new addiâ€" tion will be landscaped and deâ€" veloped in the very near future. The present rector came to Canada from England at the age of 18, and after farming in Maniâ€" toba and engaging in business in Winnipeg for a few years, came to Wycliffe College, Toronto, to study for the ministry. In the First World War, he served in France and in Germany with the army of occupation, and after completing the course at Wycliffe was ordained in 1920. Before coming to St. Philip‘s, he served the church in Wawanesa and Hamiota, Manitoba, and at Haliâ€" burton, Ontario. In June of this year Mr. Butler will have eomâ€" pleted twentyâ€"three years‘ service in St. Philip‘s parish. 11 a.m.â€"Anniversary Service. Special preacher, Very Rev. C. E.
