But it was speed that really did the trick If C.ollingwood excelled in' anything-- which is doubtful--it was in kick- ing, nothing more. Their heavies found it hard worl-chucking the Barrie line and on top of this their! fastest wings were not fast enough against Livingston's effective tack-- ling and that of his team-mates. Liv- ingston himself played a superb game" --his flying tackle always got re- sults when results .meant the saving of what looked like certain -points. Walker's end runs were also features of the match. He got away for some beautiful sprints 'before the enemy hauled him down. Flaherty carried off the plunging honors and used his weight to good effect against the heavy Johnston brothers, on the Col- lingwood inside wings. .\ -- a.

' ' IIILIVC IGIICL n Barrie commenced the scoring early. Dobson got a nice touch which he followed up some time later in the first}-~period with another. Neither of these was converted, and the eleventh point was the" result `of a rouge which the Barrie` teaim gained, also in the first quarter. . Collingwood piled up 8 points by means of two drop kicks, a kick over the` goal _ line and a` rouge. .They made the most pffthese points in the third quarter, and were assisted by the use of several seniors who took a hand in the game.

Some ;of the early settlers came from Oro jtownship, some from near Peterbor- V long-h, some from York county- gand several from the southern 'part of Simcoe. It was the day` of thesaddle-bag preacher. The var- ious bodies of the then divided Meth- odist `church were engaged in aggres- Isive pioneer work. It was one of {these splendid, strong, young men, l(Rev. Chas.vLangford), who in the] summer of 1872 began to hold ser- vices in the home of Jos. Locke on lthee eighth concession of Flos town- ship. The roads were poor. Most of the people walked to~ service along the bush trails. [But the people were enthusiastic, and from this be- _ginhing` there grew the cause now !known as the Allenwood church. 19 I lILl\I :1 II can we-V 4nn.vn- vv vvu \4na\o\o-LA! I These were not the days of co-l operation between denominations. Though there has always been the kindliest feeling, yet the intention of eachdenomination to finally look after its own peopleis witnessed by the fact that eventually when the community, for church purposes, was {divided into two _(at the ninth con- lcession) both the north and the south were served by both Methodist and Presbyterian ' bodies. This ovei'lap- ping wascorrected a few years ago by_ the Methodists taking the north` and the Presbyterians the section south of the ninth concession. After. the ministry of Mr. Lang- ford, the Methodist services were moved `over to what is now Allen- wood Corners.

A1-' lenwood was by this time attached to the Hillsdale Mission of the Wes- leyan Methodist Church. This mis- sion was made up of the following gappointmentsz Hillsdale, Hobart, Vas-? ey,' Waverley, Ebenezer, Mid1and,! Penetanguishene, Wyevale, Fields! a (near where Geo. Downey now lives) t and Allenwood. Thus Rev. Mr. Snow- den, the pastor, had responsibility; for the Methodist folk of four,town- ships. He was supported by a stud- ent colleague and an` able staff of: exhorters and local preachers who accepted regular Sunday appoint- ments to pfeach. . ' I ter. It is interesting to note that his log house is still standing and in excellent repair, being occupied at present by Mr. and Mrs. John L. ['|__ . I V .` The first church was a substan-I .tial frame building. The logs were| contributed by the neighbors and sawn at a mill owned and operated by Jos. Langman, two of whose sons are` still in the community and attend- . ants at the church of their father. ! The church was dedicated for wor- ship in September, 1877. Rev. John `Braden, chairman of Barrie Distict, preached the dedication sermon from the text He ever Iiveth."

It is the descendants` of these people who largely make- up the church congregatign to.-day. .True to Methodist type in thosedays, the additions to church membership generally came through revival meetings.
