Johin Craig. Johin Dryden, a future nîinister of agriculture for Ontario, puirchased the old Canada Presbyterian Church building at the corner of Coiborne and Centre Streets and then canvassed the Association of Baptist Churches to pay for it. This building served the Baptists for over 90 years, until May 28, 1967, when the congregation nîoved to its present locationi at Gilbert and Reynolds Streets. This Whitby Baptist Church succeede.d an earlier Baptist Chutrch founded hîi 1822 by Williami Marsh, thie great grandfather of Johin Dryden. The original Baptist congrega- tion erected a log chuirch on the Kingston Road, where the corner of Dundas Street and Kendalwood Road is presently located. The church was built i I829, and served until it was darnaged in a storn on April 18, 1855. Rev. Dr. Robert Thornton founded a PresbyterianChurch for Whitby in this building in 1833, and 100O years later, a stone cairn was ereqted on the site of' hie old church. The Baptisîs nioved mbt the Town of Whitby in the 1850s and by about 1860 the congregation ceasted to exisf. Lt lias flourished, however, since John Dryden revived itin 1876.
