OLD WOODEN CHURCH TO HOUSE 

 HISTORIC RELICS 



^-pvAVID'S TEMPLE." a church built 

 \j early last century in York County, 

 Ontario, has been purchased by the 

 York Pioneer and Historical Society to be 

 used as a museum for historic relics. The 

 old church, erected by the late David Wil- 

 son, head of a religious sect known as the 

 "Davidites," took six years to build, is en- 

 tirely of wood and today is in a remarkable 

 state of preservation. The lasting quali- 

 ties of wood never were better exemplified 

 than in this structure. White Pine in the 

 main was used and the wood today is the 

 admiration of all sightseers. 



Many years ago remarkable religious 

 ceremonies were celebrated in the Temple 

 by the "Children of Peace," but for a long 

 period the building has been sadly neglect- 

 ed. Work on the church was started in 

 1825. It is three stories high, surmounted 

 by a gilded ball on which is inscribed the 

 word "Peace." The church contains near- 

 ly 3,000 panes of glass in the windows and 

 spires and has a symbolic meaning attached 

 to all its parts. One feature is an altar that 

 took 365 days to build. It stands on twelve 

 gilded pillars representing the twelve apos- 

 tles, and is emblematical of the religion of 

 Christ. 



The building was intended to be used 

 fifteen times during the year; never at 

 any time for Sunday worship. Services 

 were held on the last Saturday of each 

 month, when the members made contribu- 

 tions for charitable purposes. The first serv- 

 ice was held October 29, 1831. The church 

 was painted white with green facings.
