' in the meantime .(By Col. w. E. .The history of the, Missions '\ of Shanty Bay carries us back to 'the_ me of the first settlement of the orther_n part of the` County of Sim- A _coe,~_wh1ch began about the year 1830. ' To induce immigration to what was then called Upper. Canada, now the Province of Ontario, the'_ British Gov- ernment offered `grants of land to half-pay officers of the_ army and naYY of whom a great many took advantage oflthe oer and made their homes upon -the shores of. Lake Sim-_ c_oe, as well` as in other parts of the country. .One of these , taking his grant in -`the Township of Oro, set apart a portion of it for the use of for a, parsonage, `fpr a school, and also a plot for a village `green ; thus began ..the mission andvillage of Shanty Bay- Some fifty acres of a glebe also _was provided, and, by _the help of friends in` England, a sum _of money for anxendowment was obtain- ed and invested, unfortunately as it turned out in stock of the Bank of Upper Canada, then the chief,mone- tary institution of the county. As soon as practicable the building of the church was begun, anda small log house on the site of minister. -Service was held and a the 1 1 1 1 4 Sunday school conducted, in the i upper part of a building which-` afterwards became the parsonagell stable. There was at first no resi- 1 dent clergyman at Shanty Bay, and 1 in fact none nearer than Bond -Head `~ near Bradford, where the Rev. F. L. T Osler, father of Judge. Osler and of ~ other sons who have attained to em- 4 inence in this country, was then stat- ioned. "Mr. Osler gave occasional, services and at other times the ser-' vice was read by Mr. Duke, a travel- ling eatechist. The building of the - church was carried on with much difficulty, owing to the want of mat- erial, and scarcity of means. The. ifoundation stone was laid in due , ing in the township of Oro, ofciat-I form on the 29th June, 1839, by Mrs. Walker, wife of E. A. Walker, Esq., who had taken an active part in the work of establishing the mission, the Rev. Mr. Brough, who was then liv- I FEE. The walls of the church were built of clay and straw, carefully prepared, and raised in the same manner as walls of concrete are now. The foundation was_of stone, and the tower a massxve constructxon of i ' Usvweitted Recipes ' obtained if `the candy only comes ""I"I"I"|"V'0 I v - v V - . , A word about Home-made Candy-- A combination of avoring often pro- duces better results than the use of one avor alone, and all fruit avors are improved by the addition of lemon juice which is often used to mitigate `the cloying sweetness of many varieties of cream candies.

' By the, winter of 1839 the church j was so far completed that service `could be held in it, and it was opened early in` the winter by the tanguishene for the purpose. The the.Rev. Thomas Bartlet who enter- ed upon his duties in December, 1839, andremained till August, 184:. He did duty in Barriefalso.. From that time there. were no regular services till October ofthe following year, when the Rev. S.B. Ardagh, of whom mention has ben'made`m `these col- umns in. `connection with Barrie, be- came -incumbent of -Shanty Bay and later rector of Barrie.Of Mr.Ardagh s work as a missionary it is not .nec- essary here to speak as the story has already been told in The Churchman. He continued to do duty at Shanty Bay, and to reside in the garsonage there; till his death in I 69, just i twenty seven years after his first . coming to this country. During this long period the mission of Shanty . Bay progressed, slowly perhaps, but `_ steadily.

Shant Bay, St. Ma`ral s, East Crag,- During the incumlbencyi of the Rev. Joseph White an organ was placed in the church by Mrs. White. This in? strument which, though small, `is a perfect organvof great sweetness of tone, also has a history. ` It was built in` London early in the last century, and was `brought to this country by Mr. Carter, the father of Mr. John Carter well known years . ago as the organist of St. James , Toronto, and grandfather of Mrs. White. Mr. Carter first settled near Quebec, and the organ was set up in his house. ~When he left the `country the organ was brought to Toronto, and the use of it given to the con- gregation of St, Thomas, whose pro- perty it has since become by consent of the family of Mr. Carter. It has recently `been thoroughly repaired, and is now in as good condition as when first built, with the mellowness `of the tone acquired by age. In 1857 the church and burial ground at Shanty Bay were conse- crated by Bishop Strachan. In the burial ground which is very attract- ive in appearance lie the remains of most of the early settlers. Three generations of the family of the late Colonel O Brien, the founder of the mission, have a" resting place there. Mr. and Mrs. Raikes are laid there, and many others, among whom may be mentioned Mr. S. Palk, for many- years church warden, who played their part in reclaiming the wood- land and making the county what it is, now rest in peace under the shade of the great forest trees which show to-day what the shores of Lake Sim- coe were like when the sound of the axe was rst heard three-quarters of a century ago.--The Churchman. wires for a telephone system on the highways of the township of Oro,and` that the Council make the company a grant of say $100, and exemption from taxation.
