Haynes PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH LADIES' AID The annual meeting of the Ladies' Aid of St. Paul's Presbyterian Church, Lakeport, was held at the home of Mrs. Delberf Peebles on Tuesday evening, January 5th. There were nine ladies present. The meeting opened with the President, Mrs. D. Peebles, reading from the Scriptures, St. Luke, Bishop of the Arctic Speaks at Trinity Church The Rt. Rev. Donald Marsh, Anglican Bishop of the Diocese of the Arctic, preached on the work of the church in the Arctic at Trinity Church on Sunday evening, and later in the Parish Hall, gave a talk, illustrated by slides. The Diocese of the Arctic comprises all the Arctic islands, the northern half of Quebec province, and the North-West Territories. The population is Roman Catholic in the south of this area, and 98% Anglican in the north. The Eskimaux, a very trusting and trustworthy people, formerly animists, believing that spirits inhabited material things around them, accepted Christianity with complete trust. Formerly hunters of seal, walrus, and other game, they lived a very hard life, but a simple one, based on the strictest necessities of life. Since the installation of the Dew Line, they have come into contact with more white men, for better or worse. So that the children may receive an education, they have been moved from their hunting grounds to settlements, where houses, schools and churches are built, all materials being flown in. The old ways are fast dying out, they no longer depend entirely on their skill as hunters, supplies are purchased at the store; they now wear white man's clothing, instead of skins. Some find work at soapstone carving, painting, etc. These people are skilled with their hands, as can be seen in the work and ornamentation in th churches, built and furnished by the Eskimaux, from materials supplied. The day of the igloo and the teal-oil lamp is fast disappearing and the effect on the native population of the north remains to be seen. The A.Y.P.A. of Trinity Church was responisble for the visit of Bishop Marsh, and the newly elected President, Anne Prentice, thanked him in a few well-chosen words for coming and speaking to those present. Refreshments were served by the A.Y.P.A. giving all an portunity to chat with Bishop and Mrs. Marsh, to close a very lightening and interesting < ning. chapter 2, verses 21-52, followed by lire Lord's Prayer in unison.
