You begin with this page a journey in imagination through more than a century and a half of the story of a community and a church. It is my hope hat you will find it an absorbing and rewarding experience. The story begins in another age, and in a world long since vanished. The Battle of .Waterloo was but a year past in memory when the cornerstone of the first St. John's was laid. The War of 1812 was still fresh in the minds of those who lived in th,~ community surrounded bythe primeval forest of Upper Canada. George III reigned far away, and the Loyalists were~carving out a new home, and in their midst', they built a church `to guide their feet into the way:of peace.' From that moment this church has recorded the events of a century and a half of movement and history. Here oi~r f orebears rejoiced when young Victoria began her reign; here men prayed stivren the Rebellion of 1837 spread like a f orest fire`;,, here men dedicated themselves to the ideal of Canada when C.~onfederation became a reality; and here men marched away to'''wars of our age, some of them never to return. Always, in every age,, the link with that world long vanished is people-men, women, and children, who kept alive in all the changing scenes the fire of Faith. The tale leads` inevitably to our day when this community and its old church on the hill face the needs and wonder of our modern world. There is no final chapter, for the story will continue as long as men seek Truth by which to guide their lives. We owe a deep debt of gratitude tq Miss Audrey Graham whose mind and pen have caught the' picture of a church and people; for within these pages is a story waiting tq come alive.
