The hext date of importance is Septem- r 25, 1841; when the following nsaction is duly recorded: "Vil e lots number one hundred and three and one hundred and four in ne Village of Bowmanville" being ded to the church by Charles owman.

About the end of 1837 or the beginning of 1838, he was succeeded by the Rev. Thomas Smith Kennedy. A at an early parish reg- ister has this interesting item: "I commenced my duties in this Township of Darlington, A.D., 1838, in the month of November--I find that the total number of marriages, baptisms and burials for the past years respectively were as follows: Baptisms -- A.D. 1839, 27; 1840, 32. Marriages--A.D. 1839, 6; 1930, 6. ; Burials--A.D, 1839, 5; 1840, 4. "The first three years there being no resident minister in Whitby, 1 used to officiate there occasionally --1 oceasionally visited the Town- ship of Cartwright -- (Signed) Thomas Smith Kennedy." An interesting commentary on life about this time is to be found in the records of the third incum- bent--Rev. R. A. Bilkey, who was appointed in 1892, serving the con- gregation until some time in 1893. It concerns an alteration to the pews of St. John's Anglican Church. As first constructed the back of to). sta " | each pew ran to a high point. From the dignity of his pulpit, Mr. Bilkey 7 | made the "alarnfing" discovery that men would insist on using them as hat racks! So he accordingly had them removed. Church Renovated During the years 1901 and 1902 the church was re-shingled, turrets taken down at both east and west ends, and general restoration made, The church was re-seated--in its present arrangement--the organ being brought from the gallery in- to the church proper. Rev. Richard Seaborn, M.A., was fourth rector. Appointed by Bishop Sweatman on November 9, 1898, he remained in office until his resignation on De- cember 31, 1903, Immediately following him came the Rev. W. E, Carroll, BA, ap pointed rector of St. John's Angli can Church, Bowmanville (Darling ton Parish) on April 1, 1904, and continuing until his death on Feb ruary 26, 1910. The organ was installed during Mr, Carroll's rec- torship, it is interesting to recall Parish Had Built It was during the rectorship ef the next incumbent--Rev. T. A Nind---that several important ad- vances were made in church devel opment; most notable being the erection of the parish hall and rec tory. Bishop Sweeny formally op- ened the parish hall (for which a legacy of $1,000 had been left by R. Armstrong) on April 10, 1912. During December of that year, the rector and his family moved into the new rectory, towards the con- struction of which $2,000 had been donated by the Rev. R. W. Hindes. Mr. Nind departed from Bowman ville in August, 1916. New Yedr's Day, 1917, the Rev C.-P, Muirhead came into residence and was formally inducted rector on January 26, 1917, During Mr. Muirhead's incumbency the Angli- can Forward Movement was suc cessfully launched in St. John's Parish. It was during this time, also that the soldiers' memorial tablet and window in memory of Rev. R. W, Hindes were installed. Rev. C. P. Muirhead remained in charge of the parish until January 10, 1923, He was succeeded by the Rev. G. 8. Postlethwaite, in Feb- ruary, 1923, and remained until Oc- tober 31, 1925. Rev. R, J. Shires, M.A., B.D,, the present incumbent's predecessor, took his first service on November 1, 1923, completing his term on September 30, 1930, when he was succeeded by the Rev, C. R. Spen- cer, M.A, now rector of 8t. John's Anglican Church, Bowmanville, MATERIAL VALUES NOT GHIEF THING, SAYS MINISTER Rev. A. S. Kerr Points to 'Lessons Taught by Year 1931 The passing of the old year is an opportune time to cleanse the house of the soul; and, though the oppor- tunities of yesterday are now gone new opportunities await us to- morrow, The year 1931 has taught mankind that material values are not the only values; that a return to normal business conditions a- their country--its business institu tions, the solvency of the nations-- things will revive, What the world needs most to-day is not so much a lifting of the b depression as a renewed faith God, more humanity, more kindness--this was the burden of a timely message brought to St. Paul's United Church, Bowmanville, py Rev. A. 8. Kerr, M.A, the minister, Sun- ] | day evening. e spoke on "Reflections on the of the Year"; basing his text on the theme "It cam to pass--"; one of the commonest statements in scripture; andl was not all scripture a reflection of life in retrospect? The week between Christmas and New Year was al ways one of more than ordinary looking forward, n- Dagkward , ¥ i ate sald the minister. Wh.t would Napoleon not have given to have been able to retard his march two hours at Waterloo? When Napoleon led his wearied waits a return to confidence, That | when men recover their faith in| the day ows of evening then too late for him cisely the disposition he desired and planned. and be enabled to retard my march two hours!" "The passing of the year is a good time to clean the house of the soul. The laws of health demand the destruction of refuse; we have all carried through the year a lot of rubbish. Travellers tell us that the happiest way to travel is to travel lightly. Don't go bu with a lot of luggage. Let us have faith in 1932 without unnecessary things", continued the minister. "Let us get rid oti bith, old Yeakysules, old embittering memor- fes. t us have done with all these. "As in the old days when men approached the Parthenon they cleansed their persons and arrayed themselves in white robes before entering that glorious temple; so let us cleanse ourselves and clothe ourselves with Christian aspera. tions. So that may we enter 1932 with joy and gladness in our hearts." The opportunities of yesterday were gone but new opportunities await us to-morrow. The year 1932 had not been as good a year as some others. It had been a hard, trying year. Many men in, business had seen their business and posses- sions diminish, if mot wiped = out entirely. Many men were wearierl with the strain and anxiety of it all. . But let them ever remember rhat another year was at hand; that whatever the misfortunes of 1931, new opportunities awaited them in the coming year, There were new discoveries to be made; new tocls to be wrought; better ways fo get and keep business; new tasks awaited all. Poverty and unem- ployment still needed to be abolish ed. Why be discouraged; Why be cast down? "The world to-day needs some- thing more than a lifting of busi ness depression; it needs more kindness, more humanity, more of God; and what is true of the world is also true of the individual. So let us have faith in God. Let us have Him for our friend - and guide for the new year. He will see us through. He will bring us to our journey's end. He will guide us with His courage and af- terward receive us in glory. His strength is sufficient; will make us perfect." SFRVONS REVIEW THE PASSING YEAR Seasonable Services Held in Churches of Town Yesterday Sermons, retrospective in. view- point, were delivered in a number of Bowmanville churches Sunday, when record attendances at both services on the last Sunday in the old year were reported, "Key Principles in Progress", was the title of a sermon delivered by Rev.

CHRISTMAS AT THE COUNTY JAIL [Tanmstes Given a Fowl Din- ner and Some Special Treats Into the cells and corridors of the County jail In Whitby on Christmas Day crept the spirit of St. Nicholas, bringing happiness into the lives of the men confined therein, if only for a short time, Governor and Mrs, Hugh Lucas had made special arrangements for the observance of the day by the men in the county house of detention, and these included the serving of a special dinner, the menu which differed very greatly from that prescribed by govern- ment regulations for the ordinary daily fare. It included roast goose, brown gravy, mashed pota- toes and turnips, mince pies, pre- pared by Mrs. Lucas, candies, nuts, oranges, apples and pressed figs. The men were made to feel that Christmas is a day which can be observed even in the same drab atmdsphere of a prison, and the governor and his wife left no stone unturned in this respect. All work except that which is ab- solutely necessary was abandoned for the day. During the day treats sent in | by relatives of the inmates were | distributed, this being permitted on Christmas Day. Mr, and Mrs, Lucas desire to thank the local officers of the Sal. vation Army for donations of nuts, candies and fruit, 10ST BROTHER IN RAILWAY SMASH Ontario, | | Christmas Night Brings | Sadness to a Whitby Home The Grim Reaper brought sad- ness into a.
