Reverend McAllister’s Dedication Of The New M E Church
The piece credits Rev. James Withiss McAllister with completing and dedicating the new M E church. Born in Bethany Ontario Canada in 1857, he spent early years on a farm and taught briefly after studies. His missionary work along the Thewadon River and travel through rough terrain shaped his perseverance, faith, and commitment to spreading the gospel and building the church.
