Ted Bristow offi- ‘Gated, giving a short history of {the church and asking the con- ‘gregation to share memories or ‘memorable events of those who shad done so much for this small church, ‘! Members of the congrega- ‘ion recalled memories of the ‘building of the church, the ‘decision to make the church a ‘Memorial Church, previous iministers and organists, those ‘who were married in the ‘church; and those who made Jurnishings for the church. Mention was also made of ‘people who had lived in this ‘area before and still ask about ‘the church, All these fond (memories made this community. {church what it is today— ‘standing as strong as the first iday it was built, serving as a scommunity church. 3} A tribute to those who ‘service in the past wars was srecognized by the reading of vthe Honor Roll by Duncan “Carter. s * * 3 The following article out- Sines the origin of the Robson ‘Memorial Community Church: i The land at Robson was yonly partly cleaned when the jlittle church was built between the mighty Columbia and the jimountain. i. The majority of the set- iitlers in those days were Bap- ‘tists, and so it was only natural that the church should be a Baptist Church. As time went on, some of jithe original settlers moved ‘away; others passed on, and lie =in the cemetery closp beside the . building. Robson was changing; Posen oni new settlers came in belonging - to different denominations; but still services continued tq be held at, the little Baptist Church. Sometimes they would be Anglican, but more often Bap- tist, for Dr. McDiarmid, al- though retired from the prin- cipalship _ of Brandon College, to in memory of those who had served; and so a meeting was called. The night was wet, the roads dirty, and it was doubtful how many would turn up; but people came in goodly numbers, showing a keen interest in the matter at hand. ve service’ to. the settlement in which he had made his home. Of later years, many of the services have been of the United Church, ‘but the prin- ciple has always been the same; community, rather than denom- inational service. V-E Day came, and then V-3 Day, and with peace, the young began to return. Then a thought took possession of the minds of those who had not been called to journey forth, a thought that made them feel that something should be done A number of projects were foned, but gradually it became clear that as a me- morial, those present consid- - ered the renovating of the little Baptist ‘Church between the river and the mountain the most worthy objective. They would renovate it and put a . plaque inside bearing the names of those who had served. Being practical people, they started at the bottom and worked up. First must come the foundation; cement must take the place of cedar blocks, and it would be nice if, while the foundation was being. dealt “SHOES THAT MAKE AN IMPRESSION FOR. SAVAGE SHOES: AND .

Those sitting next to the stove on a cold day generally got too hot; in fact, as one said, he had no reason for the parson to remind him of hell; but on the other hand it was often noted that during the sermon the Sales Soar For Canada Savings Bonds Purchase of 1977-78 series of Canada Savings Bonds through the payroll deduction system in the B.C. - Yukon region as of Nov. 1 is $7 million, or 19.8 per cent ahead of last year at this time in dollar volume and 3,230 or 7.8 per cent ahead in applications. The figures were released by George Sherwood, who is the B.C.-Yukon national direc- tor of the CSB payroll savings plan campaign and president of - Odlum Brown & T.B, Read Ltd., Vancouver. “This year may prove to be the vintage one,” said. Mr. Sherwood. “To date there are 44,663 payroll applications for $48,691,500 of bonds. Last year for the same period the figures were 41,433 applications ‘for $36,613,000." i With a closing date of Nov. 15 for the payroll savings cam- paign, CSB sales have already reached 99.6 per cent of last year’s final dollar volume and 92 per cent of last year's application fi igures. ‘The campaign started with _ 493 establishments offering , CBS payroll deduction system to their employees. In addition, 22 new establishments were added, making a total of 252,000 wage earners in B.C. and the parson’ nose was blue with cold. Yes, if the stove in the church could be done away with, it would be a decided advantage. Having decided this, the meeting moved above ground. Something, they thought, should be done to brighten the interior, and then, too, the two little rooms at the back might be pulled down and a large room built—the Sunday School needed more room with 40 children attending. It would be nice to have the church wired; evening service might then be * held. After talking over these matters, the meeting moved out on to the ‘roof. This they :found in fair shape, although the belfrey needed to be re-shingled. Someone at this point said, “Mr. Chairman, does this. meeting realize that. all these things would cost a thousand dollars or more?” Then someone else said he doubted if all that money should be spent on the church, seeing it did not belong to the community, but to the Baptist Board. Someone else said he did not think it mattered whom the church belonged to; the Baptist Board, after all, was a Christian organization.. And ; so-the: dis- cussion rose and fell, but ia the end, all agreed the work should be undertaken, and the Baptist Board should be written and informed of the idea of making the little church that lay between the river and the mountain a memoria!—Robson Community Memoria! Church. Next came the question of finance. No one seemed quite clear where the thousand dollars was coming from—and for a time there was silence. Then some- one, with profound wisdom that almost amounted_to a flash of genius, moved that a “finance committee” be appointed. The meeting, no doubt feeling that the thousand dollars was al- ready raised, gave a sigh of relief and passed the motion i in a hurry. Having—so to age raised the funds, the meeting proceeded to appoint a building committee. The meeting, having thus settled everything, or arranged that everything should be set- tled, proceeded to adjourn until ‘such times as the finance com- mittee called another meeting to report progress.
