TORONTO: AN HISTORICAL SKETCH 
Canada College hockey team won the junior cham- 1902

called the resultant moraines of the churches for 
which Toronto is famous. It is the seat of a Roman 
Catholic archbishop and of an Anglican bishop, and 
the Canadian centre of the other chief Protestant 
denominations. One picturesque local society, which 
would have interested such travellers as Hepworth 
Dixon or Bayard Taylor, and which we read of in 
Dr. Scadding’s “‘ Toronto of Old,” seems not to have 
survived its founder, David Wilson, of Sharon, after

sonites,” or “Sharonites.” Their Temple, built in 
1825, twenty years before the first Mormon one at 
Nauvoo, Ill, was of quaint construction and curious
