irishmans true optimis tic heart longing for expansion and adventure in tile new land of golden opportunities canada set sail with his wife and three child ren and after a long and tedious voyage arrived at york now tor onto on lake ontario approxi mately 132 years ago arranging for crown lands he was granted 200 acres in west brock and after completing the long roundabout trek through a blazed trail in the virgin forest ar rived at the location now the farm of william jewell on the north side of the 4th concession of brock and not far south of the old brock road and present village of sunderland home of arthur welsh whose fa ther was the grist miller there here he built his log cabin cutt ing great logs from the surround ing forests and with his wife and family of three settled down to clear the land and establish what is now one of the choicest agricul tural districts in canada boasting a beautiful fertile medium loam noted for the excellent and prodigi ous grain and hay crops which are today the pride and boast of west brock but it is true this was not accom plished without untiring efforts privations hardships to this brave man and woman rearing a young family in a strange new land over run with such wild animals as bears and wolves which added much hindrance to the successful rearing of young cattle and lambs with the true undaunted pioneer spirit of these settlers from the old coun- in packs on their backs and their valuables strapped by belts to their bodies william doble with sons james robert and william set about to clear some land to grow wheat this necessitated the hewing of 10 acres of virgin forest and great logs and brush were piled and amassed to be burned their slow steady work with the axe finally re warded their untiring zeal with a clearing of about 10 acres the land was accordingly made ready for wheat and this was done by means of very crude implements such as wooden ploughs which the pioneers fashioned with knife and axe by hand oxen were brought from york on lake ontario through the blazed forest trails and the provisionsseed grain and necessities of life were then hauled by stone boat over the til or 70 mile forest trail this was considered a very advanced and convenient form of transportation and a great improvement over the pack on the back system hereto fore employed wagon wheels were made by hand from logs and axles construc ted with poles finally the first crop of fall wheat was sown and will doble and his family slept the sweet sleep of the labourer who has done his work well and with chris tian fortitude looked forward to the future while the great winds blew and snow coyered the wheat fields the frost cracked through the great forests and snow blanketed land tlie oxen were sheltered in crude stables made by erecting poles and covering them with boughs of ever green finally spring came and gave the dobles fresh heart with the awak ening of all new life around them the yield from this first crop of fall wheat was a bumper one and it try they walked from york around i was cut by hand sickle and thresh the youngest just eight they car- ed with a frail encouraged by this ried all

origin and progress of the christian church in ephee- sus it is necessary to familiarize oneself with acts 182128 and the entire nineteenth chapter there we learn that the work began not through the apostle paul himself but through a jewish preacher apollos who was a disciple of john the baptist he is described as an eloquent man and mighty in the scriptures that is of course the scriptures of the old testa ment horn in alexandria egypt he had evidently heard of the min istry of john the baptist and thus learned of the near comng of is raels longpromised messiah whe- her he was baptized by john him self or not the record does not say but it appears that he was convinc ed that the baptists message was one that should be carried to the dispersed jews througltstit the world in due time he came to ephesus and preached in the syna gogue where aquila and priscilla pauls former companions heard him and gave him full christian message as a result of which he went over to achaia to seek fellow- hip in the church at corinth shortly after this paul came to ephesus and contacted some twelve jews who apparently had been baptized by apollos upon receiving his testimony concerning the com ing saviour to these men paul unfolded the truth of the gospel explaining that christ had already come died for our sins and had risen in triuuph from the grave accepting the fuller revelation they were baptized with the chris tian baptism and when paul laid his hands upon them they received the holy spirit and were thus in corporated into the body of christ paul continued to labor there for three years acts 2031 during which time we are told that all asia heard the word as a result many were saved through the mighty working of the spirit of god and a large church was estab lished in that city stouffville floral roses wedding bouquets funeral designs cut flowers milt smith prop verse by verse acts 101 while apollos was at corinth paul came to ephesus after apollos had completed his mission at the synagogue at ephe sus and had gone over to achaia to seek further instruction from the christians in corinth paul hav ing started out on his third mis sionary journey arrived in ephc- sus and there met with a little group of jews who had evidently been taught by apollos and bap tized with johns baptism of repen tance these received the fuller revelation which pant had to give and were baptized as christians when paul had laid his hands upon them they received the holy spirit tli is was an exceptional case ow ing to the peculiar circumstances existing verse s he went into the set about to clear 10 acres more and finally had a new clearing in readiness which was worked and sown as before but disaster dealt a blow a year later when the fire which they used to burn up the surplus brush timber and fallow to make way for further clearing caught on to their crop of 20 acres which they had just completed harvesting turning the oxen loose to roam at will and find hew homes where they could william doble and his family set their feet on the forest trail with very few possessions rescued from the fire on their back discouraged they tramped back to york over the trail and took up residence in a log house near the side of the old union station and on what is now the location of the st lawrence market finally one day a boat docked at the harbour and more dbblos and rynards dis embarked and with the st johns and ruddys they finally decided to walk through the forest around by what is now blackwater jet and again attempt to clear more crown lands around the site of their former home in west brock the combined efforts of these pioneers finally resulted in the clearing of a vast tract of fertile land until the dobles william robert and james owned the par cel of land skirted by the brock road on the west the third on the south the fourth on the north and the crossroad over mcdonalds ilili on the cast here they owned s00 acres being the whole section a- foresaid minus 200 acres already cleared and owned by pat- ronan who lived on the farm where the late richard nugent resided and where richard wilson now resides added to these possessions the 200 acres more or less on which the first homestead was erected made the dobles owners of 1000 acres in brock incidentally the far- of mr bern doble and mr john doble are still in this original panel of land and true to their past record are producing ome of the tines crops in canada today synagogue and spoke boldly concerning the kingdom of god for three months paul found an open door to proclaim the message of the kingdom as a result of which many were saved verse 9 when divers were hardened he departed from them upon the development of intense prejudice and open opposi tion on the part of many who re jected the gospel paul felt that the time had come for a complete se paration of the christians from judaism so he ceased ministering in the synagogue and secured the school of tyrannus as a center of christian testimony verse 10 all they which dwelt in asia heard the word both jews and greeks so great was the interest in pauls preaching that throughtout all the roman pro consular province of asia the word went abroad and all who dwelt in that region became fami liar with the message during a period of two years time verse is many that believed came and confessed and shewed i their deeds it was a genuine j work of the spirit of god result ing in the repentance and reforma tion of life verse 19 many of them also which used curious arts brought their books and burned them these before their conversion had been magicians and necromancers turning from their occult and de ceitful practices they brought to gether their books containing magical formulas and secrets and destroyed them by fire the values of these books from a commercial standpoint amounted to fifty thou sand pieces of silver verse 20 so mightily grew the word of god and prevailed thus was perhaps the greatest of all pauls missionary campaigns judg ing from the number brought to christ eph 125 we are members one of another the epistle to the ephesians was written by paul some years afterwards in order to establish these believers in the faith of christ while it leads us to the greatest heights of divine truth it also dwells very fully up on the importance of practical christianity these believers were exhorted to put away all deceit in their dealings with one another remembering that they were mem bers of one body verse 20 be ye angry and sin not an old puritan wrote i am determined so to be angry as not to sin therefore to be angry at no thing but sin this is indeed righteous anger but even in such a case one is not to cherish anger lest it injure his own spirit there fore the admonition let not the sun go down upon your wrath verse 27 neither give place to the devil the great arch enemy of god and man delights to slander and vilify gods saints we need to be careful that we do not de scend to his low level even when we see things in other christians which we are sure are evil and unholy verse 28 let him that stole steal no more this admonition was covered by the commandment given at sinai thou shalt not steal under grace the negative is not sufficient there must be positive concern for the good of others which would lead one to do all in his power to meet the needs of one in less fortunate cir cumstances than his own verse 29 let no corrupt com munication proceed out of your mouth the spiritdirected belie ver will always be characterized by clean and profitable conversa tion he will not be guilty of re peating unclean stories or using unholy expressions verse 30 grieve not the holy spirit of god whereby ye are seal ed unto the day of redemption the spirit of god is not a mere influence but a divine person who indwells all of gods children we are therefore called upon to be watchful lest we grieve him by careless speech or reckless behav ior he has sealed us until the day of the redemption of our bodies but if we grieve him he will not be free to take of the things of christ and reveal them to us as he delights to do out he will have to occupy us with our failures and our sins thus making us miserable until we judge our selves and turn to god in repent ance and confession verse 31 let all bitterness and evil speaking be put away
