COLEMAN, Local Master S.C.O. April 4 ---------- To -- The Pioneer Church Contributed by Mrs. D. Leury . Last week we had the privilege and pleasure of looking through' an an- cient record of "the minutes of the 'quarterly conference meetings of the Whitby Circuit of the, Methodist Episcopal Church in Canada, The first meeting recorded was on October _ | connection, Smith in the chair. The pioneers met in classes throughout the circuit (our present Presbytery, we presume) un- der - the following leaders: Philip Ranous, Robert Howland, Calvin Campbell, Henry Derby, James War- Butt, George Wagar, Andrew Orser, Thomas Coots, James McKay, Daniel ~ Shaw, Abram Boulton, "M, Richardson. v. W. Sut- ton, at that time, and or ro Elder for the whole circuit, the class leaders being,responsible for the ser- were paid in pounds, shillings and pence, until 1856 when dollars and cents came into use. In 1848 Myrtle was known as Well's Corners. In 1866 the name was changed to Lenwood. By 1857 many changes had taken place throughout the circuit, and chapels meetings were first spoken of in 1802, Moved by Brother R. Harnden, second- ed by Brother J. Bradshaw (pastor), that this quarterly meeting conference approve the plan of each Circuit and 'station throughout thé Niagara and Bay 'of Quinte Conference, having a tea meeting in aid of the Belleville Seminary which plan was instituted by one being held on this Circuit." While looking over this most inter- esting book we copied some of the mo- tions and resolutions, which no doubt them: Brooklin Chapel, July 22nd, 1848: Resolved that the Exhorters confine' themselves to exhortation, that is to gay, that they do not announce their! text, chapter and verse, division and subdivision. Brooklin Chapel, Sept: 3rd, 1860: members of this quarterly conference meeting be called upon for an explana- tion of their absence and that the preacher be instructed to notify them, Well's School House, March 26, 1851; ners and Foster's be one Sabbath ap- pointment for Circuit presichfig and Oradell's and Giltoy's another. Brooklin Chapel, Oct. 23, 1862, travelling expenses, wood, horse feed, together with salary and table ex- penses. - Lenwood, May 1st, 1858.

Perry's Chaptel, March 10th, 18569: Moved that the licenses of brothers Rose, Lewis und Fisher be renewed as Exhorters. Moved by R. Harnden, seconded by Jas. Bradshaw that this quarterly meeting conference takes its earliest opportunity of expressing its disap- probation of the present unequal dis- tribution of the labour of the travel- ling minister on this circuit, and free- ly express their firm conviction that if the present arrangement be con- tinued, it- must naturally injure the Circuit financially if not otherwise. Borelia, June 14th, 1862; Moved and carried that one third of preacher's salary be paid in table expenses. and Carried that Brothers John Lam- minan, Israel Weber and Clark Weber be appointed trustees for church pro- perty in Darlington, known as Mount Vernon Chapel. Moved and carried that the commit- tee of church property be requested by this conference, and are hereby auth- orized to lock the pump at the par- sonage. he N August 22nd; 1863; Moved by Bro. Caldwell Ceara area by Brother Harnden, that a camp meeting be held in the vicinity of Borelia sometimes in September., Motion lost. Raglan, Jan. 23rd, 1864; Moved and carried that Brother Waite be recommened to the Local Preachers to receive a local preacher's licence and to be received into the travelling - Moved and carried that the sum of received by L. B. Caldwell from this circuit to buy a cow be applied to his salary. . - Myrtle, Sept. 19, 1868;-Ordered that a tea meeting be held on this circuit to aid the press of our Church. These are just a few of the many motions and resolutions made by the pioneers "of our present Presbytery. In the back of this old Minute Book are recorded a few marriages and baptisms. The first marriage cere- mony reported was on October 14th, i847, when Mr. Henry T. Bush, of Lindsay and Miss Saprona Haight, of Reach, were united by Rev, J. Jones. The first baptism was that of Mary Irvine, daughter of Wililam and Sarah Irvine, born July 1848, baptised Aug. 11, 1848 by Rev.-W. Sutton. : H < oo -- ------ -- JUNIOR JUDGING COMPETITION, >AT BROOKLIN SEED FAIR Juniors. 1--Neil McCarl, Whitby; 2 Harvey Blackburn, Uxbridge; 3 Hugh Ormis- ton, Brooklin; 4 Bob Cardell, Whitby; p Vernon Elliott, Locust Hill; 6 James Best," Uxbridge; 7 Elmer Crawford, Claremont; 8 Ronald Marquis, Sunder- land; 9 Fred Brown, Locust Hill, 10 Carl Kydd, Uxbridge.

Dept. of Agriculture, Toronto, ~~ ° When a well-cleaned and graded sample is sown, one may expect vigor- ous and uniform germination; strong plants capable of resisting unfavorable weather and diseases, a uniformly ripening crop, harvested with a mini- mum loss and of the best' marketable quality; cleaner farms, greater yields; higher grades; better prices and-more profits, : - Clean seed should bea bright, plump uniform sample, pure as to variety, free from all foreign matter, including seeds of other cultivated crops, dfs- eased grains, small, shrunken grain and weed seeds, : Small grains made .good feed "but poor seed. The little plant in the early stages of growth depends on the meat in the kernel for its maintenance, "If a small grain is sown there is not al- ways sufficient nourishment in the ker- nel to sustain the little shoot until it is strong enough to draw from the soil, +f the result being a short stunted plant at the best, * Plants from smalk grains are shallow rooted. .Should a dry sea- son occyr the roots will not penetrate deep enough in the'soid to get suffi: cient moisture, . 3) Small grains are slower to germ- inate, the little shoot in. many cases never ~ reaches the, surface. Some small grains do not germinate at all, Plants from small grains are frequent- ly short and stunted."

The recipient was surprised, when the letter came, to note that apparently it had not been censored. Even more surprised at the contents, which contained a glowing account of the way in which her sister was living in the Reich. -According to the writer everyone there was living hap- pily and normally," there were no blackouts, such as cursed the British every night, food was plentiful and lovely", the letter concluded, "at this time of year and I can think of no other place where I would rather be, except Mount Pleasant" : "Naturally the Nazi censor had never heard of beautiful Mount Plea- sant Cemetery in Toronto, so the letter was passed on cheerfully.
