Free. 4 Spring Cleaning Continued from front cover You may have you heard the expression, “cleanliness is next to godliness”, which originated from John Wesley’s 1778 sermon. Although this phrase sounds biblical, it is not! Nevertheless, the early residents of Islington seemed to cling to the notion that keeping a clean home was important. Carole Bennett, retired administrator of the Islington United Church tells us that if a congregation had a manse, it appointed a manse committee to ensure its care and upkeep for the congregation’s minister and family, a practice continues to this day. In days gone by, there were usually men and women on the committee with the roles divided between them: men looking after the major repairs, supplying the heating, firewood, coal, etc., women focusing on the decorating and regular (usually interior) maintenance of the home. In 2010 when the BIA commissioned John Kuna to paint a mural on the site of an earlier manse at 4879 Dundas W., it was decided to take a “tongue- in-cheek” approach to the mural because there were instances where committee members could be quite intrusive in fulfilling their roles, deciding John Dillon Evan House, Methodist Manse, Islington Methodist Church - L to R - south side on the furnishings, the fabrics and colours, of Dundas - from 1910 postcard courtesy of Etobicoke Historical Society archives advising the minister’s wife on housekeeping, and so on. The Manse Committee mural depicts a group “protecting the church’s asset.” When visitors tour the Islington murals, they get a good laugh at the idea that a committee would use a white glove test to inspect the cleanliness of someone’s home. This mural, which Kuna refers to as the cutaway, depicts everything that may have been inside the manse if the building’s east wall was cut to expose brick and all of the interior furnishings to scale and proportion. Manses still exist in some United Church pastoral charges (congregations) and a manse committee is still required to ensure the comfort of the minister and her or his family. Manse committees are required to maintain an accurate record of the type of construction, state of repair, size and age of the manse. They should also have a record of the furnishings and equipment owned by the pastoral charge/congregation within the manse, if any. Even today, manse committees of the United Church of Canada continue their role in caring for these residences. 5 BIDS ‘N BITES Cards and Luncheon at Humber Valley United Church ART FOR GOODNESS’ SAKE After the deep freeze of winter, we are longing for bright, cheery outings.

  • With the Death of Ted Rogers, Owner of Rogers Communications and the Jays, Beeston (Welland, Ont.) May Be Around a Long Enough to Shed His Interim Tag
    1. Paul Beeston , CEO on an interim basis, Blue Jays (10). With the death of Ted Rogers, owner of Rogers Communications and the Jays, Beeston (Welland, Ont.) may be around a long enough to shed his interim tag. Whether he goes or stays, people will be say five years from now what a good/bad hire the next president of the Jays was. 2. Greg Hamilton , director of national teams, junior coach, Baseball Canada (1A). No ones makes as many decisions and runs through as many mine fields as he does. This year. for example. he put together four distinct rosters: The pre-Olympic tourney in March at Taiwan; the Canadian junior team, which lost in the quarters at Edmonton in August; the Olympic team in Bejing and the 2009 junior team which headed to Florida in October. He has been negotiating with MLB teams for the World Baseball Classic, to be played at the Rogers Centre in March. You can find Hamilton (Peterborough, Ont.) at his Ottawa office until 10:30 most nights. 3. Pat Gillick, senior adviser, Philadelphia Phillies (5). As GM, he guided the Phillies to the 2008 World Series — his third. He became a Canadian citizen in November of 2005 after living in Toronto since 1976 and has always supported Canadian baseball. He led the Jays, Orioles, Mariners and the Phillies to post-season play 11 times in his final 20 seasons. He added Jamie Moyer, Brad Lidge, J.C. Romero, Joe Blanton, Matt Stairs, Jayson Werth, Greg Dobbs, Scott Eyre, J.C. Romero and Chad Durbin , who were all small pieces to complete the puzzle.
