The following historical sketch of Union Road United Church. prepared by Mr. George A. Lcard, of Sourls, was read by the pastor, Rev. Norman Green. at the recent observance of the church's 83rd anniversary:

Union Road. Lot 33 has a long and honourable history going back well over a. hundred years. The first settlers came to this rich in- land tract after most of the shore farms had been taken up.

Thomas Abbott who purchased a farm at Union Road in l830 was a carpenter recently out from Eng- land. Both he and his wife were devout members of a branch of the Methodist church which de- scribed itself as "Bible Christian.” The Bible Christians, in advance of the tune, gave the layman equal voice with the minister in the courts of the church. and per- mitted women to preach in their churches.

Mr. and Mrs. Abbott were. both local preachers. and doubtless in their home they conducted some of the earliest religious services held on Union Road. But feeling the need of an ordained pastor they wrote home to Cornwall.Eng- land, and asked the Conference to send them a preacher. It was as simple as that.

The ineacher. Rev. Francis Metherell, with his wife and two children came out in the spring of 1832 on the brig "Amethyst". Landing at Bedeque they made their slow way to the Abbott home on the Union Road. How tiring it was, and discouraging in out- look. may be inferred from the fact that for the last few miles they had to carry the children over an obscure blazed trail through the woods from the Win- sloe Road.

Little wonder that Mrs. Meth- erell before completing the trip sat down on a log and wept at the prospect before her. Woods and swamp and a rough trail which couldn't be called a road, with here and there crude log houses set in small clearances made up the settlement. I-luge pine, large beech, birch, spruce and hackmatsck challenged the pioneers who could see the woods only as something to be conquered and destroyed. thus releasing the soil for more pro.fiti.ible fruits.

. .

The Missionaryh. headquarters were established in the Abbott home which bore the name of

community Welfare- League Meeting

..' A special meeting oi the Georgetown community Welfare League was held in the Council Chambers on June 29, with the president, .1. F. Johnson presiding The main business of the meeting was to make arrangements for the annual Lobster Suppe which it was decided to hold on July 22, in the rink.

The secretary. Mrs. W. J. Fitz- gerald resd the minutes ofythe last annual and monthly meeting which were adopted. Reports of various committees were then presented. Miss Sally Johnson reported that the annual banquet held recently in Katy Hall in honor oi the Eagles Hockey Team, was very successful. The banquet costs were shared by the League and the town of Georgetown. Mr. J. P. Johnson re- ported that the secretary of the Lower Montague Regatta had been contacted regarding future parti- cipation by Georgetown in this event. Mr. Donald MacDonald re- ported that the committee of which he was chairman had look- ed over the situation as regards placing a . ble dance floor on a portion of the rink ice surface and certain estimates in this con- nection were presented to the meet- ing. The president was authorized to contact the Mayor and have him call a joint meeting of the Town council and the Rink Building Committee on the question of the proposed dance floor.

A committee of Min Joyce Jen- giiu, Miss Bally Johnson and Mr. Jackie Levers were empowered to make the necessary ngements to have the Montague Players pre- sent their play here. The follow- ing will constitute the entertain- ment committee and will have charge of the arrangements for the Lobster upper and dsnoe:- Chairman:-Miss Sally Johnson: Raymond Lavsndier, Donald Mac- Donald.

What did it matter that there was no roof, no windows, no floor? These were things that required money. and nails and glass. They had at present only reverence and love and a deep sense oi devotion. But because of this the church was eventually finished and ready for opening.

some oi the fixtures were very primitive: the pulpit steps. for in- stance. being made of wooden blocks with the mark of the adze on them. The dedication of the building however. seemed unim- portant when compared to the deep-seated dedication of these pioneers who followed Wesley's resolve to "be Bible Christians and to preach plain old Bible Christi- unity."

The church yard gathered its first frail dust in 1837 when Mary the wife of Thomas Abbott was buried at the year's close. Philip James was the minister. He came out in 1834 and was assigned a mission area which e tended from Union Road to ew London. Francis Metherell. then living at Vernon River, reported that "we preach in thirty-six places on the Island very far apart."

Mr. James stayed on the New London-Union Rbad circuit until 1840 and had the deep satisfac- tion of leading a revival at Union Road in July of 1830 at which many were converted. He was succeed ” in turn by Revcrcnds Richard cotton, Amolom Picklngs, J. W. Butcher. William Callowny, and Thomas Inch. itinerant mis- sionarlcs who served this wide circuit with great zeal and no lit- tle discomfort until 1850 when the parish was divided and Union Road became head of a circuit which included also iwheatley Riverl- Winsloe South and Wlnsloe North with Jacob Gale beginning a three year pastorate. During this period. Union Road's log church had a face lifting so that it became a "good. substantial, comfortable, chapel."

This period also saw the erection of a Wesleyan Methodist church llliam seller farm thus givingiunion Road two churches within a halfcmlle of each other. William Seller came to Union Road after living in York for a number of -years where he had settled in full. l-lewas for many sure the num no local preach- er on the dist Preacher Plans for the combined circuits of

Union Road was first a part of the wide Charlottetown circuit, but as Methodism grew, it be- came a preaching place on the Cornwall and later the York cir- cult.

Rev. Francis Metherell came back to the Bible Christian pulpit for the three year period, 1853-56, to he succeeded by Rev. Cephas Barker who carried on an aggres- sive evangelism for nine years on the extensive circuit of Union and

Charlottetown during which a fine church was built at the lat- ter place.

In the census of 1862, Lot 33 had the greatest number of Bible Christians on the Island, number- ing oger three hundred and thirty. John Chappclls five year pastor- ate which ended in lB'l0 was.foi- lowed by that of Geo. Webber who gave inspired leadership in all the churches he served. lie was in- strumental in having new church- es built in four oi the congrega- tions he served.

The church whose anniversary we now celebrate was built eighty- three years ago as a successor to the first log church. A marble stone with the inscription "Bible Christian Church 1811" for many years identified our church to the passers-by. This stone is still in- tact and needs only to be placed in a prominent place on the out- side wall to proclaim the proud heritage oi part oi our past.

There was no organ in the new church. William Mellett. who sat in the front seat on the north side. continued to start the tunes as he had in the old church. In the little Methodist church up the road the people sung in the old- fashioned way with the minister lining out.each verse before it was sung. Here James Parkin led the singing to he succeeded later by Isaac Seller who took over in the Bible Christian church after it united with the Methodists.

Union Road's first school was built ln the 1830's. its second school, which boasted two black- boards and a globe was erected in 1883 and this is believed by some to be the one torn down in 1953: though others think it was a third school built around 1803 or 1094.

During the pastorate of Rev. A. E. Tonktn, a Bible Christian par- sonage was built on the Union Road Circuit at Winsloe, and also the Brick church, at the same place. . g .

Union of the Methodist church in Canada with the Bible Chris- tian church took place in IBM. The little Methodist chapel at” Union Road became the Union Road hall well-remembered as the meeting place oi the Sons of Tem- perance, an later still to be the hundred-ye -old machine shed of Keith Bryenton. The Bible chris- tian church became a Methodist meeting house where the minister of the York circuit preached ev- ery, second aunday eveuins at 6.80 and a number of local breaches from Oharlottetovm, York, Union. etc. led the service every Sunday

In lilil, during the pastorate of Mr. Littlejohns. our church had some major repairs and alterations including new windows. Pews from Graoe,Cl'iurch. Charlottetown. replaced the older ones and a pul- pit and platform chairs were pre- sented by the family in memory of the late Thomas Ayers and his wife, Maria Seller.

The Union of the Methodist and Presbyterian churches in l925 saw a rearrangement of boundaries so that Union Road became connect- cd with Covehead, one of the old- est Presbyterian churches on the Island, and in conjunction with Stanhope and Covehead Road be- came a charge of the United Church of Canada with Rev. T. A. Wilson as pastor. Mr. Wilson's long and faithful service needs no eulogy. The results of his blessed labours in this charge. and this church, are still apparent to all. Among those from Union Road who entered the ministry of the church, either at home or abroad. we include Josiah Ayers, Joseph Seller, Wallace Bryenton, William Bryenton, Robert W. J. Clements,

girls and boys of the other group. If they're engaged in any project... during the summer months offer your help. When the new school year opens, try to take courses pre- ferred by the students you like. Almost certainly you'll imd these subjects involve more work than the others, but again. isn't it worth the effort to be with the contacts you want? If your difficulties continue, do consult a faculty advisor who will show you more directly how to get the most out of your high- school years. Don't. be afraid to ap- proach your teachers with pro- blems; most of them are teach- ing because they like young peo- ple. Last, and most important of all,, stop ”sneak" dating. Perhaps Mom and Dad are a hit unreasonable about letting you go out. but as you became more responsible, they'll, become more lenient. Dating on the sly is the surest way to lose the trust of your parents and the respect of your school mates.
