 | | The February, 1868, report, (Disciples in Ontario held their business meetings in February and their gospelizing meetings in June) states that the membership was then forty; number died since last report two; none expelled, three moved, and seven baptized. |
 | | In Ontario old Erin Centre was a foundation church, a mother church: it endeavored to be true to the Book in all things; yet many of its members gradually came to see that new and expansive ideas lie within its covers and are needed in order to spread the kingdom of the Saviour. |
 | | From 1905-07 the church had intellectual and spiritual leadership of the highest, rendered by W. Cadman; but the peak of prosperity for the church had passed and what followed was but a holding of the fort, Howard Weir, a young man, was pastor for about two years, followed by W. Arnold, with still more decline. |
