Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from St. Andrew´s Presbyterian Church, Williamstown, Ontario: Report of Centenary Celebration, August 25th to September 2nd, 1912 It has been truly said that in this comparatively new land, we have "no stately piles hoary with antiquity" to command our veneration, still we may look back with pride on the record of the first century of the history of this part of Canada. Occasion has been afforded for the review of the development and growth of the country by a number of Centennial celebrations in Ontario. That of the settlement of Upper Canada was held at Niagara in 1883, and of the settlement of Glengarry in 1884. The object of the present sketch is to place on record the celebration of another centennial in Glengarry, which was the occasion of several notable gatherings at the historic village of Williamstown, one of the first settlements founded by the pioneers who came from the valley of the Mohawk with Sir John Johnson. In this instance the celebration marked the 100th anniversary of the erection of St. Andrews Church, Williamstown, and the 125th anniversary of the congregation. The church structure, which is of stone, is an evidence of the lasting character of the masonry of the pioneer days. The interior has been recently remodelled and the church is now handsomely finished with modern pews and other appointments. To commemorate the centennial a brass tablet was placed on the wall bearing the following inscription: To the Glory of God In Loving Memory of the Founders and Builders of this Church and in Grateful Acknowledgment of 125 years of Divine Blessing and Christian Service. 1787-1812-1912. Erected Centenary Celebration September, 1912. The church-yard - St. Andrew´s Cemetery - is situated with the church, on the south bank of a ravine on one of nature´s beauty spots adjacent to the historic village of Williamstown. It contains about four acres of land, and is always kept in a most creditable condition. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
