PAGE EIGH? THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO Interesting Happ Related By Well 1 Missao de Chissamba, Nova Sintra. Angola. P.W.. Africa. Sept. 26th, 1938. Dear Friends: When 'se last wrote ive were a the coast having our 1937 holidays Many things have happened sincc then so we shaîl have to choose few of the most important. One of the most important event! as far as our two lives are concernec is that a baby, daughter, H-elen Kath. leen. was bo rn to us on the 6th oi September. 1937. She is now a fin( baby, Iust over a year old. a littlE under normal weight but otherWiSE very well. XVe have both had fait health ourselves. The most outstanding feature of last year's 'sork after 'se returned up country at the end of June 's our boys' camp. it 'sas held Julb 20th to 30th. Eigh'ty-f ive boys at- tended. It 'sas the first camp of its kind in this district. Circurincision camps are still held bv lnon-christ- ians in mnanv districts here and thcv have a strong appeal to the vouith of thé country. Because of that the Christian camp 'sas looked for'sard to with considerable curiosity and eagerness by mnany of the Young Christian men and boys. Onl% those who 'sere church members or mcmn- bers of the catachuinen cîass 'sere allo'sed to attend. A young color- ed missionary of the hrethiren mniss- ion at Hualondo has conducted sev- eral camps for boys in his o'sn and other missions during the last f e' years. He assistcd in leading our camp and everything 'sent very 'selI. The Young pastor 'sho 'sas ordained at the beinning of 'Mas' also assist- ed b)x leadiniz morning 'sorship each day. by leading a discussion grotio on the teachinýgs of JeStss 'ith re- gard to certain problerins that the boys' leaders had suggested as vital to boys here and in general of the camp. We had fine 'sorship, good study grouovs, a dailv sim, oell hunt 'sith bo'ss and arro'ss, lessons in fîrst aid. and plenty of ganes. including pramid building. Village trips occupicd 'shat turnle 'sas available during the fal months but as soon as the rains began they had to be given up. 'sith the excep- tion of occasional one day trip's by truck to district centres, or after- noon trips by bicycle or bush car to nearbv villages. Whenever Possible we went out as a teain of 'sorkers on the trips ta district centres. 'Miss Read and a 'soman eIder or t'so went for special meetings 'sith the women. Miss Dawson and girl lead- ers did work among the children and girls. My wife gave public health taîka. and with the help of a native woman who used to 'sork in the hosvital. conducted baby clinics. An eIder alwavs accompanied me for work with the men and boys. Some- times 'se discussed the work of the village leaders. sometimes Sunday School work in the villages and at other times 'se held meetings with the boys. There was also a preach- ingz service during every visit at which al the people worshipped ta- gether. In January 'se aIl attended the semi-annual mneeting, of the United Church of Canada missionaries at Camundogo mission station. Shortly after that our week of prayer began. The eIders invited their new pastor and myself to give most of the talks of the 'seek because. they said, "You are both iust beginning your 'sorIZ now in earnest."
