In 1874, the ranks of the rst Ses- sion were broken by the death of Jo. Martin, and in October of that year George Duff was elected _and ordain- ed elder to ll the vacancy. Mr. Duff has been a member of the Session from that time until the `present and is the only elder living who was con- nected with the early history of the Cookstown church. Many Changes Noted During the past.-_fty years many changes have been made in regard to the congregations with which Cooks.-' town has been associated. At its or- ganization it was associated with Townline and Ivy, as already noted. (Continued on Page 8) The congregation having been or- ganized, the _next step was to elect a Session and Deacons Court. This was done on Aug. 6, 1871. After a regular election, John Sutherland, James Br'aden and Joseph Martin were ordained elders and John Wat- son, Henry Harper, Alexander Mc- Cracken, Alexander Rogers and Charles Hamilton, members of the Deacons Court- The congregation continued to worship in the Temper- ganization till Dec. 29, 1872. On that day the new church, a solid brick structure, was opened and dedicated for public worship, special sermons being preached in the morning -by Rev. J. M. King, D.D., of Toronto,. from the-text, Rom. 1:16; in the af- ternoon by Rev. J. Smith of Bow- manville from Judges 5:23, and in the evening by the minister, Rev. G. Burneld, from Isaiah 60:13.
