Ralph Connor’s Church, Winnipeg 103820
It’s not often you find a Valentine & Sons error in linking a caption and image. This one took a while to solve. 103,820 “Ralph Connor’s Church, Winnipeg” is actually Trinity Methodist Church, Toronto.
For confirmation see ve.tpl.toronto.on.ca/toronto_sanctuaries which shows the church.

There are two copies on eBay right now and, until I saw this, I was puzzled — the building depicted is most assuredly not Ralph Connor’s much photographed (and postcarded) church (St. Stephen’s, long ago renamed Elim Chapel). I’ve seen minor mistakes on postcard captions, but that’s a rather extreme case.
