Speaker for the service at 2.30 p. m, will be Rev.
C. E. F'ockler, of Markham, the oldest living minister
of the former Christian Church, who was also the
speaker at our First Decoration Service in 1932.
The Christian Church, stood on the property, Lot
19, purchased from the Late Thomas Hubbard, who
settled on the said Lot, in 1792.
After church union, in 1925, the church was :old,
and most of the remaining members joined the United
Church of Canada.
The bell in the old tower, being in good condition,
was given to the United Church, to bie used as a fire
hell,' also, for church service. Since the firemen have
installed a siren, the bell is still being used to call
people to worship, which seems to be very important
in these days of stress and strain.
