ANNE OF GREEN GABLES COUNTRY 195 In the good old days when Princetown was expected to live up to its reputation as a town, a log church was built down near the point.

Came a time of argument and dissension. Those at the point wanted the church built there. Others wanted the church built at the quarry about five miles distant. Those at the point won—temporarily. Up went the church framework. Came a dark night! The church was hastily loaded. There was a cracking of whips, a sense of victory, and the new church was off down the road.

There it still is to-day, the Princetown United Church. o. I.—14
