toe tribune thursday october 7 1jis 7 rev jacob small itragedy redirected ministers life u srouffvllle a ragic accident was in- tfrumental in redirecting fee life of rev jacob small who is the new pastor of the memorial congregational christian church in stouffville mr small told the tribune that be had never once gone to church before he reached the age of 17 then his brother was lolled in a logging ac cident on vancouver island where mr small was raised and the ex perience sent me on a little quest i began asking questions about why am i here where am i going what is life all about said the pastor through a retired anglican minister he began reading a bible story book as well as the bible and finally was persuaded to go to church it seemed too good to be true that god could forgive sinners said mr small i thought there must be some catch regarding his con version he said that god removes guilt gives pardon peace and a purpose to life second markham is renamed springvale after 128 years of operating under one name the congregation of second markham baptist church voted last sunday evening on a new one henceforth the church will be known as springvale baptist church i it was decided to v change the name because there is no longer a first baptist church and since regional government came in it is no longer located in markham it was just too confusing rev tom hamilton told the tribune first markham baptist church is still standing on the 9th concession but it has been closed for some time according to mr hamilton the name was suggested by stouffville resident robert whitehead because the church overlooks an area of many natural springs of water which remind one of the words of the lord jesus christ whosoever drinketh of the water that i shall give him shall never thirst but the water that i shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life john 414 a second choice for a new name was providence baptist church and mr hamilton said that at one time the church was known unofficially by that name it was also known as sixth line baptist because it is located on the corner of the 6th concession mr small said his christian growth took place as much through radio ministers as through the church- for fivt ears he worked in a building supply firm before he came for training with the church army in toronto after that be at tended ontario bible college and graduated from there in 1963 with a bachelor of theology degree he pastored calvary bible church in smith falls for three years and for the past seven years has been at dawes road gospel church in toronto one of the greatest satisfactions of the ministry according to the new pastor is being attached to something that has an eternal significance as well as for time and
