Early in the church's history, people would come from other Church of Scotland congregations all over the Island to attend the "Sable Sacrament" as it was called then and still is by older members of the church today. During the late 60's, the use of the hall for church purposes was discontinued because the church at DeSable became the center for both congregations and another piece of history came to an end. The Argvle Shore Hall has been used by many organizations and in many capacities over the years. One very important aspect from the time it was built up to the 60's has been the spiritual one and the community has benefited as a result. '^" Sundays, in years past, were observed differently than today. Things like cooking, cutting kindling, gathering water and even polishing shoes were done on Saturday in preparation for Sunday. In many homes card playing was a taboo and many children weren't allowed to go to the beach. It was a day to rest, attend church and go visiting. ss
