During the fifty years I have been in holy orders I never heard that grand Old Hundredth psalm sung so heartily as I did at that first church service in Durham. I used to make my missionary tour through the counties of Grey and the ‘Parson’s Jumper’, and that sled never left Durham without being well loaded with gifts for myself and family and I never knew the donor’s names.

In 1860 the first resident rector of Durham, Rev. S. C. Haines, was ap- pointed as “Missionary to Durham and adjacent parts." In 1862 the first An- glican church was built on the site of the present church and was of frame structure, about the same size as the present church. The land was given to the congregation from the Edge estate, and it was originally intended to have a churchyard and cemetery surround- ing it. This was abandoned and the cemetery put on the second concession of Glenelg. The Government gave a grant of four acres next to the old Presbyterian cemetery, and it was fin- ally purchased by Mr. H. Parker. Rev. S. C. Haines puchased four acres on what is now known as Bruce street and built a house on the site now oc- cupied by Robert Aljoe. The first church, an old building was burned down in 1876, and the present one erected on the same spot In Eg- remont services have been held for over forty years in the schoolhouse, but, throught the energy of Rev. A. A. Bioe, a new church is now under way. Of that first congregation the follow- ing are known to have been present, (who the others were is not known): Land Agent, and old Mr. Hunter, were also present. I was very much pleased to see that a very large portion of the congregation had prayer books and The Frame Church was consecrated in 1863 by the late BishOp Cronyn. The first BishOp of the Diocese of Huron, Rev. 8 .C. Haines left Durham in 1863 and went to Streetsville, in the D10- cese of Toronto and subsequently to England, where he died. was begun and many improvements were made. That rectory has by alter- ation and addition become the Red Cross Memorial Hospital, which is now doing wonderful service in Durham and vicinity. All the church pews were made free in 1871. Mr. Wm. Evans, visited and preached at Allan Park and Egremont on alternate Sundays and held prayer meetings in the surrounding country during the week. In 1875 he left Dur- ham to go as rector of Old St. Paul’s, Woodstock. Mr. Evans died in 1890 in The Rev. William Evans, a Welshman succeeded Mr. Haines. and remained rector of Durham until 1865. The bell of the church was installed during his rectorship. The building of the rectory Guy succeeded Mr. Mans and remain- ed rector of Durham until 1878. Church Burned The rectory was finished and occu- pied soon after Mr. McGuy came. A great misfortune betell the congregation in 1876, when the old frame church was burned, A blacksmith’s shOp, hotel and other buildings shared the same fate, being in close proximity to each other in what is now the upper town. The work of building a new church was begun immediately on the same site. At this time Durham was largely above the hill there being no lower town as at present. The church bell was cracked in the tire and was re- cast and put in a temporary belfry in the upper town, and services were heldiorayearorsointheTownHall. giving dignity and veneration to an TRINITY ANNIVERSARY NEXT SUNDAY (0011th from page 1.) THE DURHAM CHRONICLE In 1909, Rev. Mr. Bice was appointed iDiocesan Comimssioner for Huron Col- glege. In 1913 he became rector of all zSaint’s, London, Ontario, and is still In 1890 he went to Mitchell as rector and thence to St. John's, New Bruns- wick. In 1900 Rev. Dewdney was ap- pointed Archdeacon in the Diocese of Saskatchewan and became rector of the Cathedral in Prince Albert Episcopate, and later was consecrated Bishop of Diocese of Keewatin. Thus two former rectors are respectively Bishops of Mon- treal and Keewatin. Allan Park at this time was joined with Hanover and the people of Egre- mont from now on had weekly Sunday service. Mr. Wray went to Thorndale ln 1881, and died not long afterward. Rev. D. Wray was succeeded by the Rev. D. Asbury, who came to Durham in 1881 and remained four years when he was transferred. to Deleware. He died at Niagara Falls, Ontario. Chm-ch Expands The Rev. J. C. Farthing came to Dur- ham in 1885 from England, upon his graduation from Cambridge University at the age of twenty-four. This rector- ship resulted in an expansion. He es- tablished Sunday Schools at Edge Hill, Aberdeen and in the Orange Hall near the residence of the late Samuel Lawr- ence. He paced the church on a basis and 'raised it to the status of a self- supporting parish. Hitherto it was mis- sion, receiving a mission granti from the mission fund of the church. The Rev. J. C. Farthing went to Woodstock in 1888 as a curate of New St. Paul‘s, under Archdeacon Sweat- man. Rev. H. Farthing became rector of the Lance church on the elevation of the Archdeacon to the Episcopate in 1889. He became Canon of St. Paul’s Cathedral, London, in 1904, Dean of St. George’s Cathedral, Kingston, in 1905, and Bishop of Montreal in 1906. The Rev. J.C. Farthing was succeeded by the Rev. A. D. Dewdney in 1888. Mr. Dewdney was an active man and the parish prospered during his rectorship. dedicated in 1877 and commuted in 1878 by the late BishOp Helmuth, sec- ond BishOp of Huron. Rev. MoGuy left Durham in 1878 to becor’ne rector o! Lucan. He was later rector of St. Mary's and died there. The Rev. D. Wray, suooeded Mr. Mc- Guy in 1878 and remained rector until 1881. Mr. Wray was an eldery man, a graduate of Trinity College. Dublin, Ireland. Strangely enough on seeing a prize, which had been presented to one of the sisters of Miss Fannie Mockler of this town, he observed the signa- ture of Henry Wray provost of Trinity College, Dublin, who was his uncle. Tower Rebuilt In 1890. the Rev. F. Bunt succeeded the Rev. A. Dewdney in Durham. Rev. Mr. Bunt is said to have been an ex- ceptionally able preacher . 1896. He exchanged parishes with Rev. F'. Ryan of Adelaide. Rev. Mr. Connor was later superanuated and lived in Windsor for sime time. The Rev. F. Ryan remained in Durham until 1904. The church was re-decorated in 1900. and the fiftieth anniversary of the par- ish was celebrated at which Right Rev. Maurice 8. Baldwin, third BishOp of Huron, ofliciated and preached. Rev. F. Ryan exchanged parishes with Rev. A. A. Brice, near Kincardine in Bruce in 1904. The tower of the church had blown down in 1891 and was rebuit during Rev. Mr. Bunt‘s rectorship. In 1892, Mr. Bunt went to Shadiac, New Brunswick. Rev. W. Connor, succeeded Rev. Mr. Bunt and remained in Durham until otherwise bleak building. Rev. A. Brice was a graduate of Hur- on College, London, Ontario. The par- ish prospered under his rectorship, and St. Paul’s Church, Egremont, was built and dedicated and consecrated on the same day. The church was free from debt when completed. St. Paul‘s was consecrated by the Right Rev. David Williams, the fourth BishOp of Huron, and present ArchbishOp of Ontario. Rev. W. H. Hartely, also graduate of Huron College, succeeded Rev. Mr. Brice in 1909 and remained until 1913. The basement of the church was put in 1911, and the new pews and furnish- ings were placed in the church. Rev. Hartley went to Deleware in 1913, then to Shelburne and then to East Winsor. Rev. W. H. Hartley was succeeded by Rev. John Morris, who came from Winnipeg. He remained until 1915, when he also went to Shelburne. In 1919 he was appointed rector of the Church of the Redeemer in London. and subsequently of Old St. Paul‘s. Woodstock. New Rectory Bought During the inter requiem of rector- ship or Mr. Morris and Mr. Hawkins the old rectory was sold and the pres- ent one secured. Rev. John Morris was succeeded by Rev. Edwin Hawkins in 1915, who re- mained only one year. He became rec- tor of St. James’ Cathedral, Hamilton, and subsequently left the church. Rev. E. Dymond came to Durham in 1916 and remained two years. In 1918 he went to Courtwright. Rev. F. G. Hardy came to Durham in 1918, having been a curate at St. John’s church, London. fable a satisfactory standard of living.
