ps the stouffviui tw8une thuribr juf 1956 oldtimer tells of barn raisings 40 yrs ago i have written several times about the little hamlet of lern- onville put will now start at lot 1 on the seventh on the east side the mcquay family lived there and the property was later owned by john smith whose wife was a daughter of george mckay the blacksmith at iemonville one of the mc kay boys kept goal for the lo cust hill clippers when they won the championship for on tario lot 1 west belonged to he cook family but was later own ed by will law the barn was moed from near the creek to its present location by frank jordan but i have forgotten the exact year lot 2 on the west sde was owned by the barkey family and still is the barn standing there was built in 1915 i will never forget the day it vas raised i rode down to it on a silver ribbon bicycle made by the massey harris people frank rowbotham was agent for them when he was head miller at carrick mills frank pold several of those heels it was good and wet that sum mer johnnie nicely and joseph grove chose up sides that day joes side beat but the side that was defeated got a real good soaking in the rain shower the wall that supports the barn on lot 1 on the old law farm was built by tom medley of goodwood and there was also another firstclass mason at that little village peter van- horne i dont know of any other place that turned out so many real good carpenters as the vill age of goodwood and some of them are still alive including f a forsyth and john ashen- hurst ro village of that size at least- lot 2 on the east side was farmed by the kennedy family but it was later owned by her bert foote and son ard is still owned by his son and daughter the barn there was built by frank jordan but i dont recall the year iot 3 west side was owned by r b hastings he was a justice of the peace and had a brother charlie who held the honor of being medical health officer for the city of toronto this farm is still in ihe hastings

wife was a bartholomew raised wood one cold morning and on lot 35 now owned by george faced the northwest wind si- rodanz mon ramer and willie pipher robert had several girls and talked it over to decide whether two boys he also owned fifty hey would thresh or not but acres on lot 6 east there was t men were all there to help a house and lot on that corner ar tnev had the old engine owned by william taylor and steamed up so they pulled the his good wife before he pur- j tn and threshed chased that she and taylor harman slaughton cut the were at the king george hotel i bands that dav he

see which one would have the j floor i used to think the truth i was pretty badly stretched there was another house east of that one owned by paterson bros henry was the grave dig ger at the cemetery at lemon- ville lot 6 was owned by an drew henderson and i under stand he planted those crab trees on the front of that farm it is now owned by charles ratcliff jl mentioned helping with the threshing on the lot 7 farm but that was only one place start ing at vandorf and going south east towards stouffville and on to whitevale there are very few barns that i have not helped j f to thresh in or done some kind of work and talk about the good meals that were put up by some of those elderly ladies at threshing time they were as good as any christmas dinner or banquet even the banquet put on for robert miller when he was elected president of the cne bring along any dieti cian or chef and i doubt if they could surpass those elderly cooks of fifty years ago i would as soon shoulder my old pitchfork in the morning at i that time and go to the thresh ing or attend a barn raising as to go to any picnic even herb lennoxs that was held at jack sons point and i was to the first one he held at holland landing park at ballantrae and played football against snow ball that afternoon some of the the stouffville tribune w 9 shes a dazzung befy- m callherdear- 0f- cedar grovi july 12 it is a

destructive flame from the pursuing sword some by faith have even wrested their loved ones from the greedy jaws of death as did the widow of zarephath and the noble woman of shunem vs 3335 but faith has other expres sions frequently it calls for as much faith to stand in ones place and receive the illtreat ment meted out by the enemies of god as to go out and accomp lish great achievements among the heroes of faith therefore are those who endured the tor ture the mockings the scourg- ings the bonds and even death itself by stoning or by other cruel means it was the triumph of faith to endure the desola tions of desert places being hunted by the persecutor ra ther than to compromise the testimony of god in the eyes of the world they were unworthy but the eternal verdict stands of whom the world was not worthy vs 3538 there is still another element in faith the waiting element common to the faith of all who have been thus mentioned the promise of the better thing was ever before them but it was not theirs to know that better thing in their lifetime they lived and died not having received the promise that better thing awaited the fullness of time and they had to be content to see it afar off that is the patience of faith now the better thing has come in the person of our lord jesus the heries of faith bear witness to us of gods faithfulness in the shadows our race is being run in the full light of day we have the light of the knowl edge of the glory of god in the face of jesus christ 2 cor 46 with what force then the exhortatibn comes to us to cast aside everything that
