Olive H. Miller has written a beautiful poem especially for the occasion of 90 years of the dedication of the sanctuary of Elmslie Memorial Church that was built by the two Bodden brothers, Rayal and Roland.

Both brothers were ship builders. Rayal was the Architect for Elmslie Church but it was Roland who constructed the impressive roof over the church that was handcrafted by him into the shape of a hull of a ship.

See attached Mrs. Miller’s poem that illustrates with words the church life at Elmslie.
