increase of the Society so it was considered necessary to build a larger establishment the Square House on the land which later became the property of Mrs Emily In reality this last school developed into a Ladies Seminary and in addition to those of the David- daughters of other denomin ations attended and all were given a course in practical dom estic science This is said to have been the first school for domes tic science in Upper Canada They began to build the Tem ple in on the farm of David who had donated a por tion of land for the purpose The woods wore culled for the choicest trees they hewed the timbers and hauled the stone The making of the various sec tions of the building was appor tioned to the members of the fraternity and the work was done at home as far as possible in the winter when work on the farms was quiet The first ser vice was held October This refutes the tradition that like Solomons Temple seven years were required to complete the job Time For Rejoicing In those long ago days in Shar on where mid the clearing in the woods the Temple was com pleted it was a time of great rejoicing Settlors farmers with families from miles beyond the village were there

sang a hymn of praise which he him self had composed He sang to the joy of the morn ing he sang to the love of God he sang to the love of man and he sang to love one for the other Then did the members of the Society gather to the music of the band led in a hymn of praise All about the place the vital spirit of beauty had been created David in terpreted this music to be the and the various members of David family At the completion of the Temple 1500 had been contributed G0O of which had been expended It is not felt that this list of build ers is complete In Lonely Isolation In the early days of its exis tence the Temple was surround ed by a whitepainted picket fence and stood in lonely isola tion in the centre of a large field Apart from the natural deterior ation of age there is scarcely a flaw to be seen in the workman ship and with the passing of the years it is growing in interest Smiths Canadian Gazetteer of relates that David and his followers at groat ex pense and much labor have
