Nerrili Ferguson Write From Angola Mission Field Missao Evangelica de Camundongo C. P. 27, Silva Porto, Angola, July 2nd, 1951 Dear Friends: We were reminded to write our Christmas letter by the remark that one of our missionaries had already made her Christmas cake Now we are on holiday in Lobito and the occasion suggests another letter to friends at home. It has been our custom to try to get down to the coast for holi- days once% during each five-year term 'on the field. Our stations are-situated between five and six thousand feet above sea-level. This time we came to Lobito for two reasons: f irst, ta bring our oldest daughter, Helen, ta the boat; second, for a change and a rest. Helen finished Grade 8 in the school for missionaries' child- ren at Dondi mission station this May. No high school work in English is available in Angola. After looking into the possibili- ties of study in different places, we decided to take advantage ot some scholarship help and the dis- count offered to missionaries% children at the United Churcil School in Whitby, Ontario Ladies' College. and send hen there. It is fairly central to our family connections. The fact that Dr. Stanley Os- borne. who is principal, has been a warm friend since high school days, entered into the decision. We are pleased to know that the dean of the College is Miss Muriel Sissons, who won my admiration and confidence in her first year of teaching, when I was her pupil in fifth form of Bowmanville High School. (Editor's Note-Miss Sis- sons is no longer at the College. Miss Carter is the present Dean.) It îsn't easy to send a thirteen- year-old daughter so f an from home without prospect of seeing-1 her for thnee years. But we are thankful for the arrangements that we have been able to make, and for the good family connec- tions and many fine friends whom we have in the part of the world to which she goes. During Pentecost week we had a visit in Camundongo from the Reverend Frederico Mussili. He spoke three times on bis visit to Portugal and Canada. The people were thrilled by his accounts of the trip. They asked many things that we have told them over and over; they just wanted to hear them confirmed by their own rep- resentative and explained as only one of their own group could do it. He spoke very appreciatively of the bospitality be had been shown in Canada. He seemed to have been quite împressed by the fact that Canada is not just a wonderland wbere one waves a wand and money pours forth for Church wonk and other needs, but nathen a place where ail have to work togethen to make the church go forward. Undoubtedly his visit will prove very valuable here as well as there, because now we have a fine interpreter of OBITUARY MRS. WM. THOMPSON Funeral sérvices for tbe late Mrs. Agnes Thomson. wife cf William Thomson, Lot 6, Con- cession 9, Blanshard, near St. Marys, Ont., who died Nov. 29. were held from the L. A. Bail Funeral Chapel on Dec. lst, wbere Rev. T. G. Wanless of the Woodham United Cburch con- ducted the last rites and inter- ment was made in St. Marys Cem- etery. Palîbearers were Chas.

Fcrty-one years ago she be- came the wife cf William Thom- son and at that time came ta live on the 9th concession where she has since been active in the wonk cf the Woodhamn United Cburch. Mrs. Thomson had been in ber us- ual bealth until the weekend be- fore hen death when she suffered a stroke. She is survived'y ber busband, a son John on the home farm, a daugbter Janet, Mrs. E. Baker of Usborne, and five grandchiidren. She is aise mourned by two brotb- ers, Albert Baison cf Solina and John Balson, Hampton, and a sist- er (Addie) Mrs. W. J. Trick, Osh- awa. SANTA 52 Weeks a Vear the Church o! Canada ta the Church in Angola. At the same time that we had Pastor Frederico here, Frances Walbridge's father was at aur sta- tion on his trip fnom Canada. It made Canada and Angola seemn dloser to each othen than they had even been before. We were pleased to lfiear Mr. Walbridge say during bis visit, that if the folk at home could only see the work as he was seeing it, thene would be no difficulty in raising funds for our mission. Just before coming on holidays we belped with a ten days' course for village leaders of our local pastons' anea. More and more we mîssionanies are putting cur tîme and energy into the training of Afnican Christian workers. They are the best evangelists and teachers o! thein own people but they iack yeans of preparation and Christian backgound. Our new bouse is not yet fin- isbed but we hope to move into it some time this yean. With oun very best wishes to all, Sincerely, Venona and Mernill Ferguson.1 TMPRSAY. D=C . UIL OBITUAUY DR. F. H.
