Interesting History Attaches To St. Stephenis..Church At Irishtown
(continued from Friday's Issue)
Though not born into the chiuch. Rev. Mr. Reegh was attracted to it as A young mum and was or- dained Is deacon in 1878 and priest in 1060.- In his first report .-is tells of I. large attendance in lrishtown Ohumh, and for the first time in all the reports the graveyard is menticned. Unsight- 1, stumps, stones and weeds were .-emerged, theground levelled, and hefence put inrepair. But with allthese improvements it would still be a far cry from the beaut- ifully kept. emetery of today which we will tell about later.
This we: I Door year-no sale '0: produce and money scarce. the church built in 1-855 was fal- eing into decay and must be re- paired or a new one built. In fact for 1879 and 1880 the re- ports were very gloomy. The peo- Dle had all they could do to main. tain rcletgymam, but Mr. Reagh ivrotez. "We can only pray that God who has blessed us in the past will open.ihe way for us in the future." The Bible Class in Irlshtown was increasing in at- tendance, In fact which made a cheerful note. By 1882 things were picking up. He wrote: "Irishtown is by far the best part of the parish as far as support is con- cerned. Some money has been col- lected and a large sum subscribed either to repair or to build . . ., We hope another year will bring unity. If the people unite they viii firicl a way to do the work . . . . Good work is beimrdone in the Birriday School. Bible truths arc Joins! carefully tauirht. It is a great satisfaction to know that our young people are being taught '.he way to Heaven. and this sat- isfaction is increased when we lcndw they are becoming intelli- gent members of our branch or Christ! Church, nnd therefore more capable of meeting the at- iscits of those hostile to our faith. Without this doctrinal teaching it s impossible to lend thc young to Christ, but if we want them to be Olvxdstian churchmen they must be taught the distinctive doctrines of the Church.”
. . . .
Mr. Rengh moved to Port Hill in .1881. for a short period, and Mr Henry Harper (later the Rev- erend Henry Harper) took duty in the simmer months. However
Mr. Reach reported for that year: "It might be expected that being in. a manner Wimout A resident
-lIyl..I,T.
clergyman the people -would carry on with in heavy heart, but on the Contrary they seem to be quite actively engaged in repairing the church in Irishtown. The old roof has been removed and a new one Put on, greatly improving the ap- pearance of the building, which received a thorough coat of paint all over at a large expenditure of money and labour.
At the present time they are Mtivlv engaged In procuring lum- ber and other materials for .1 tow- eor to be built this coming summer, and they expect to have all re- pairs completed by the 1st of July. St. Stephen's Church will then compare favorably with the church in New London and will 'be a credit to the mission." -
When Mr. Reagh retumed.fron Port Hill he reported good results in St. Stephz-.n's Church. Eighty- six were confirmed, and the aver- age attendance was 140. In 1986 the church was thoroughly repair- ed at a cost of saoo.oo. Probably the tower (811; x ii”; feet) was built and the hr-ll installed in that year. So, after thirty-one years of ups and downs we now have the church thoroughly established. the building equipped as a church should be, a large and loyal con- grcgatlon. the Gosprl preacned'ami the Sacraments administered.

Mr. Reagh was a man of ex- ceptional gifts. He was loved by the people.-by all the people includ- ing those belonging to other de- nominations. Even to this day. over seventy yours later, his name is spoken with respect by those who remember him. He continued in the parish preaching and teach- ing till he returned to the, par- ish of Milton and Rustico in 1891
St. Mark's Church at Kensing- ton was built in 1885 and the rectory the following year One can well imagine the diplomacy ihe Rector would have to exercise in these undertakings. If we know human nature there would be op- posing plans nnd ideas, but Mr. Reagh seemed to be able to cope with them and all the work was successfully carried through. This, and thehrcgular parish work, must have added up to A heavy burden for a man who was not of stron: physique. When he died in 1914 it was said of him that God and humanity were first with him. and the church was blessed with his ministry.

welshman. followed Mr. Reagh, remaining until 1894. Nothing special needed doing in these years '5 St Stephen! Church was in ex- cellent condition. The Lidyd (am. 11! were helpful in the musical part of the service, and what a. fine choir there was in thoseldaysl With capable organism and bass, tenor, alto and soprano singers, there was full. rich harmony, a real lifting of the heart to God in praise. In llier years Mrs. James A. Campbell of Amlover. Massachus. ette, came to live in Burlington and associated herself with St. Stephen's Church. She was a thoroughly grained musician, holdimz musical esrees. her specialty being ,q,he D1139 Organ. She trained the choir cvllectiveiy and individually. At 1”” two Ofkanists who later gave years of faithful service, (Mm) Bessie Proflit Sheritt, and iMrs.) Bertha Millman MacLcod. were her pupils. Mrs. Campbell. her little daughter. and her .husband' haw their final resting place in the church cemetery. Mrs. Lame Oampholi, Mrs. W. J. Prcfitt and Mrs. W. J. Harrington now take iurns in providing music for the SUMEY services, The Reverend H. C. Aylwin 101. lowed Mr. Lloyd. He was an Old Country man whose hrnlih mm been impaired While doing work in the Canadian north before coming to the Diocese of No"a Scotia Mrs. Avlwin is remembered as a sweet, gentle mistress of the rectory. They had one son, Horace. who gave his life in the first World War. in 1896 the Reverend George 0. Wal- lis. also an Englishman, was ap- Dointed. Rector of New London Parish. He was a Christian gentle- man in every sense of the word. He and Mrs. Wallis were instru- mental in organizing the Glen.ner's Union, the first missionary organ- ization in the parish. sti-n.n.ge as "4 may Seem to us now there was some opposition to that among the
older members of St. Stephen's Church. 0
0 O l The people wore used to gei-
UDS financial help from the Eng- lish societies that the idea of giv- ing moncy to help missions in India and China was not pop- ular. But the younger members took it up with r-nthusiam and a splendid branch of the Gleaner-'5 Union was formed in St. Stephen's Church. They met monthly in the homes and had a program of Bible and missionary study. This was carried on for years after Mr. Wal- lis left.
Durhig the year of Mr. Wnlli.-2': rectorshlp the Reverend R. H. A. Haslam, then 3. student at Wycliffe College. assisted in the mission at St. Stephens Church. Writing of old times to a friend in 1952 Dr. Hashim said: "Mr. Wallis took the service, and I gave the addresses. It was I. blessed time, and several confeued their faith in Christ their Saviour." The Reverend R. H". A. Hatlam, M.A.. D.D., died in February. 1953. aged eighty-tlire? y He gave a lifetime of de- voted service .to Christ and his Church at home and in India. Mr. Wallis was called from New Lon- don Parish to St, James Cathedral. Toronto. but returned in later years to the Diocese of Nova Scotia. From 1898 to 1900 there was no settled rector in the parish and therefore no official reports were written. There was a. student suin- ply for one summer at least. The Reverend I. E. Fraser. born in St. Eieanor's. took duly during his hoi- idays. Canon Fraser was later rec- top of Newt Glasgow, NV 5- 1'"
