' Mr. Adams explained that although church, the building itself had been preceded by two former churches which the congregation had in turn outgrown. The foundation-stone of the present structure was laid in i1898 by the venerable Geo. Black- stock. His daughter, Mrs. Gilpin, his grand-daughter, Mrs. R. D. Henry, and his great-grandson, Gordon Henry, are the only descendants now 5 actually resident in the place. Mr.` Adams presented thanks to the ladies for their zeal and bounty, to the 1 speakers and entertainers of the ev- ening for the programme which they ' were about to furnish, to Rev. Ming Grey for his sermons of the` previous day, and to the chairman of.the oc- casion, who, he knew, would conduct the proceedings with his old-time charm and skill. He then gave the chair to the Rev. C. _A. Simpson, who had presided at the opening of the church a quarter of a century ago. hiirino fhn awnninrr aknso 'l-main}-.+ 3 Ana auxu. Uylcll 1!: but: V8388.
