  • Friends of St. Alban's Adolphustown STRATEGIC PLAN December 2020
    Friends of St. Alban's Adolphustown STRATEGIC PLAN December 2020 OUR VISION To transform St. Alban’s into a vibrant community hub while continuing to preserve, commemorate, and celebrate its unique heritage OUR BEGINNINGS We began as a small group concerned for St. Alban's after the church closed in 2018. Now, Friends of St. Alban's is an incorporated not-for-profit organization and a registered charity. OUR PAST Adolphustown was established in 1784 with the arrival of United Empire Loyalists in June of that year. They overcame early hardships and went on to build a thriving village boasting a district courthouse, a tavern, St. Paul’s Church, a school, and later, hotels, taverns, blacksmiths, stores, a tailor, a dressmaker, a barber, and a post office. The 1800s brought a new town hall and a new church—St. Alban’s replaced the old St. Paul’s, which then became the parish hall. In the 1900s, the church and both halls were the centre of village life, hosting community suppers, dances, euchre parties, and political gatherings. Today, only St. Alban’s Church, the Town Hall, Allison House (now a museum and research centre in the UEL Park), and several smaller houses remain. Visitors to St. Alban's are treated to rare and beautiful 19th century memorial tiles, elaborate stained-glass windows, replicas of the Queen’s Rangers Colours (carried in the American Revolutionary War) and even a small bronze bell manufactured in England in 1690, perhaps the first bell used in Upper Canada. This diminutive stone Gothic Revival church, built with the vision and passion of Reverend R.S.

  • Centennial of Canadian Methodism
    JOHN WESLEY. DiedIMarch 2nd, 1791. Born January 17th, 1703. • The best of all is, God is with us. : CENTENNIAL OF Canadian Methodism PUBLISHED BY DIRECTION OF THE GENERAL CONFERENCE. TORONTO WILLIAM BRIGGS, we s l !: y build i s <; s. Montreal: C. W. COATF.S. Halifax: S. F. IIUFSTIS. Entered according to the Act of the Parliament of Canada, in the year one thousand eight hundred and ninety-one, by William Briggs, in the office of the Minister of Agriculture, at Ottawa. ! PREFACE, T N this book representatives of the different branches of which the united Methodist Church in this country is now com- posed, give from their respective points of view a brief record of the historical development of Methodism in this land. No con- trol is sought to be exercised over the expression of individual opinion. It is possible that in the treatment of what were at the time strongly disputed topics, there may be expressed some variety of judgment ; but as these are now dead issues, with respect to which we can agree to differ, it is thought best to leave untouched such expressions. It is a happy thought that at the close of the first century of Methodism in Canada all these causes of dispute and of difference between brethren are now laid aside, and that we can calmly survey what was once a hotly disputed field. At no previous period in the history of Methodism in this land could this have been possible, and in no other land beneath the sun is it possible yet.

  • The "Loyalist" Economy of Upper Canada, 1784-1806*
    The "Loyalist" Economy of Upper Canada, 1784-1806* Douglas McCALLA * * This paper surveys the first twenty years of the Upper Canadian economy and its development in the wake of the initial Loyalist settlements. Referring to evidence on population growth, wheat prices, British government expenditures, exports, agricultural development, the domestic market, and the nature of the colonial business system, it dis­ cusses the forces for growth in this economy. No one factor can explain the development that took place in the period, though the paper stresses the investment process, particularly as embodied in immigration and in the creation of new farms; reasons for patterns here are sought in the presumed expectations of new settlers, in conjunction with their experience once involved in the economy. The paper argues for long-term continuities in patterns of growth for Upper Canada, from this period to c. 1850, as indicated in wheat output and exports per capita, land cultivated per capita, rates of population growth, the role of the trade cycle, and the nature of the business system that sustained the development that went on. L'auteur s'interroge ici sur les facteurs de croissance de l'economie du Haul­ Canada au cours des vingt premieres annees d'existence de Ia province, qui furent mar­ quees par l'arrivee des Loyalistes. Des facteurs pris en consideration- croissance demo­ graphique, prix du bte, depenses publiques de Ia metropole dans Ia province, expor­ tations, developpement agricole, marche interieur et nature du reseau commercial en regime colonial - aucun ne suffit, isolement, ii expliquer /'expansion survenue au cours de Ia periode.

(Read May Meeting, 1915.) FORT NIAGARA BEFORE THE REVOLUTION, 1759-1775. The British acquired Fort Niagara from the French in 1759, through the efforts of Sir William Johnson. The post stood, as it still stands, on the eastern point formed by the junction of the river whose name it bears and Lake Ontario. The new possessors of the fort, like their predecessors, maintained it as a garrison and trading post. The place now became the scene of Sir William's activities, one of the first of which was the establishment of peace with the Indians at the great treaty of 1 764. It served as the rendezvous and recruiting center for Western expeditions, and through its friendly attitude towards the Iroquois, or Six Nations, it prepared the way for the alli- ance between England and the tribes which a few years later "turned their tomahawks against the 'American rebels' ". Fort Niagara was also an important mart for the fur trade with the Indians and the center of trade routes to the interior of the continent.
