GEO. PARKER, DUNBARTON.
DUMBARTON.
The fine new church erected by the
Presbyterian congregation of this Alage
was formally dedicated on Sunday last.
In the morning slid evening Rev. Dr.
MacLaren, of Knox College, Toronto, and
in the afternoon Itev. Mr. Matthews, of
Pickering, delivered excellent sermons suit-
able to the occasion to large eongregatione.
On Monday evening the opening soiree
was held. Three tables running the entire
length of the building were laid in the
basement, and from 5 to 8 o'clock the
ladies of the congregation were kept on
the jump supplying the wants of the large
number of people. who pressed their way
thither. Of the spread too much praise
.cannot be given. The tables fairly groaned
beneath the weight of edibles provided,
and everything was of the most tempting
kind, reflecting the grealest credit on all
concerned.
Shortly after 8 o'clock Rev. Mr. Craig
called the assemblage to order and asked
the choir for an opening selection, after
which Rev. lir. Abraham, of Whitby, led 'I,
in prayer. Iu his opening - remarks the j
pastor extended a hearty welcome to those
present, who, notwithstanding the unfav-
orable weather, had come from all parts of
the county. It was one of the happiest
moments of hill life. When he assumed
the paetorato.about four years ago be little'
thought that they would be gathered to-
gether at the opening of a new church
edifice in the village of Dunbarton to -night.
He was greatly pleased with the energy
and push displayed by his congregation,
and at the successful terminstion of their'
labors in the erection of the edifice in
which they now met. He had great pleas-
ure in introducing to the audience the
chairman of the evening, :kir. J. D. Edgar,
ex-M.P., of Toronto.
Mr. Edgar, on coming forward was re-
ceived with applause. die said be con-
sidered it both an honor and a pleasure to
preside over such a large and intelligent
audience as he saw before him. He was
more accustomed to being present at the
opening of Parliament than at church
Openings. In Parliament they had a
Speaker, and he presumed the reason why
he was called the Speaker was because he
had nothing to say. His duties, therefore,
in presidiug on this occasion would be
very light. He was pleased to be present
at the opening of this very peat little
church, which was a credit not only to the
place but also to the pastor and people.
As the program contained a lengthy list of
speakers, lie would at once proceed to call
upou Rev. Mr. Abraham, of Whitby, for
an address. Short and appropriate
speeches were also made by Rev. Mr.
rustman,. of Oshawa; Rev. Mr. Matthews,
of Pickering. Rev. Mr. Ki pan. of Clare-
mont. Rev. Mr. Fraser, of Bowmanville,
and Rev. Mr. Cameron, of Pickering, all
of whom congratulated the pastor and
people of the Dunbarton congregation
on the neat and commodious edifice erected
for the worship'of God, and wished them
all prosperity in future.
The. choir of St. Andrew's Church,
Whitby, gave several choice selections of
music during, the evening, which were
greatly appreciated by the audience.
The pastor then read a brief Statement
of -tile finances. The cost of the edifice
,was 64,100, which did not include the
gratuitous work done in hauling material,
etc., by the membership. This would run
the amount up to at least 65,000. They
had in subscriptions and collected in cash
$3,470. leaving the small balance of about
SW vet to be raised. He did not propose
to ask for subscriptions at that -time, but
if any person felt disposed to contribute to
the building fund they could 'send -the
amount in to either Mr. George .Parker,
Mr. J. HolmeP, or Mr. Win. Dunbar. Sr.
IIe felt deeply gratified to the several rev.
gentlemen who had at considerable per=
conal sacrifice left their homes to be pre-
sent on this occasion, and m3ved, seconded
by Mr. -Peter Nesbit, that a cordial vote of
thanks be extended to the speakers of the
evening, which was carried unanimously.
,lir. Jonathan Holmes said that all had
listened with pleasure to the singing of
the choir, and he therefore moved,seconded
by ;lir. Wm. Taylor, a vote of thanks t
them for their- services. This was carried
without a dissenting voice,
Dr. Black. of Uxbridge, in moving a
vote of thanks to the ladies for the efforts
put forth by them to make the affair a
success, paid them a well merited compli-
ment. He said that on such occasions as
this the ladies were the first, middle and
last of the undertaking; it was impossible
to Ret along without the help of the ladies.
It was impossible to tell whatta congrega-
tion could do until they were brought to
the testing point, and in the erection of
this beautiful little church he had no
doubt the ladies had done their share of
the work, not only in providing the very
excellent spread which those present had
partaken of down in the basement, but
also in raising the money necessary for the
erection of the church. He moved,
seconded by Mr. Jahn McIntosh, a hearty
vgte of thanks to the ladies of the Dunbar -
ton congregation. When the -chairman
put the motion it was carried amidst loud
applause.
Mr. D. Ormiston,, in a short speech,
moved that the thanks of the audience be
extended to Mr. Edgar, who had so ably
and with such acceptance presided on this
occasion.
Rev. Mr. Craig, in presenting the vote of
thanks, said he wished it distinctly under.
stood that Mr. Edgar was invited to pre-
side on this occasion because he was a
gentleman and not because he was a poli.
ticisn. Although not personally acquainted
with him, he had heard a good deal of him,
and was pleased to say that his anticipa-
tions had been fully realized. Mr. Bdgar
returned thanks.
Mr. John Parker, in moving a hearty
vote of thanks to the Building Committee,,
said that they were entitled to every praise
for their unceasing labors in connection'.
with the erection of the church. Had it
not been for their enweetio action the
church would not have been there to -day.
The motion was seconded by Mr. George
Gourley and carried ananimonely.
Rev. Mr. Craig then thanked the audi-
wee for their a►ttendanoe. People worn
there from Scarboro in the west to Boa-
manville in the east, and from the 1tk4w
shore to the sand hills of Uxbridge, and
he was grateful to them all.
After a closing selection by the choir,
Rev. Mr. Abraham pronounced the bene-
diction, and the proceedings were brought,
to a close.
The new church is of the modern gothic
style of architecture, material of red brick.
with cut stone facings throughout. The
size is 40x52 feet, with basement full sines
of building. Off the main part of tbe=
basement is the vestry and class rooms
height of ceiling 10 feet. Two furnace&
warm the building. The main or audience
room has a 28 ft. ceiling, and the pulpit,
and fittings are in ash. The seats are
semi -circular in form, and will accommo-
date 2510 people, not counting the draw
seats. Four six -light chandeliers light the
building very nicely. Six very handsome
stained.glass windows, with two circulars,
from Elliott & Sons, Toronto, afford plenty
of light. Mr. A. A. Post, of Whitby, was
the architect; Mr. Deverill, of Whitby,
was contractor for the mason work, Mr.
Thos. Henderson, of Dunbarton, the car-
penser work, Mr. Jas. A. Hilts, of Picker-
ing, painting and glazing, and Mr: Joshua
Bundy, also of Pickering, .the galvanized
iron work, all of whom, we understand.
carried out their contracts very satis-
factorily,.
There were over 450 people present cn
Monday evening. The collections on Sun-
day amounted to nearly $150, and the
proceeds of Monday evening were 1120,
betides which the ladies realized quite a
nice sum from the sale of articles at their
bazaar.
Messrs. Forsyth Bros., of Pickering,
supplied a handsome Bell organ for the
opening services, for which the congrega-
tion feel deeply grateful.
