I shall never forget the first church service we attended. We 'had been in the West two months, when we heard there was a settlement six miles south and west of us, and they had started a Sunday School and had service every Sunday. After dinner we hitched the team to the wagon and started. We arrived in ~ time for Sunday School. There were people from as far as ten . miles distance, about twenty-five in all. The mosquitoes were ~ something terrible. and as the house had just been built and had no screens on door or window, they hdd full possession of the place. You could hardly sit still, ~The minister, who was an elderly French Canadian Missionary, got up and said "we will commence our Sunday School by the use Hymn No. 1"--"See the mighty Host advancing, Satan leading on," which I-thought appropriate 'but nevertheless, we enjoyed the meeting and used to go every Sunday. - The minister's wife was a real Mother in Isarel, no matter who was in trouble you always found her there, and anyone within a radius of ten miles + "wag your neighbour in those days. i The first funeral we attended was the next spring after we came out. A young man homesteading with his brother attended Sunday School on Sunday ;.on Monday he was harrowing and the team ran away and in someway they dragged the harrows over him. "His brother was in the same field but on reaching him he found that his life had fled. One of the young men that belonged to the Sunday School came on horseback to tell us and to see if the minister could get our buggy, as it was the only one in the neighborhood at that time. They made a box for a coffin, covered it with tar paper. They held a short service at the little shack, took the coffin ir a wagon to the graveyard. Those belonging to the Bible Class went in another for a couple of miles to where they had selected a place for burial. His was the first grave; one of the saddest funerals I ever attended, a8 none of his people were able to be there as the river was impossible to cross at the time. The first baby born in the settlement was ours and as there was neither. nurse nor doctor to be obtained, Frank drove thirty two miles for an old nurse he heard could be got. The baby arrived before she did. We have ten children in all but none of them: had the attention that this one got, as people came for miles to see him and no one came without bringing something. So he was well provided for, although for sometime he was very deli- cate on account of not having proper food, but has now grown to be a hardy young man, due chiefly to the climate of the West. We also had our pienics. and Christmas Trees. The first Christ- mas we were wondering how we could spend it as it was the first one we had ever been so placed that we could not go to the old home for dinner. But nevertheless some of the young men of the district said, they would furnish the turkey if the women would get up a supper. They had to go to Saskatoon, some sixty miles, to get them. They were gone nearly five days. We women, six in number, did all the cooking. My lot was to furnish mince pies, and just imagine, if you can, my position, as I had neither apples or meat. But they say "Poverty is the Mother of In- vention" and I found it out. Frank shot a rabbit, I had put it .to soak in salt and water over night, also Some dried apples, cooked them the next morning, chopped all fine with a tin can, added a few slices of fat pork, raisins, currants, spice, sugar and a few spoonsful of vinegar and made my pies. The pies were ~__ highly praised but no one ever knew what they were made of. We had the supper at the minister's house, as'it was the largest. We had a Christmas tree and I could not begin t6 tell you the joys of that tree as three was something for everybody and nearly all the presents home-made. We made all the candy for the child- ren, and Santa Claus dressed up and acted his part in the pro- gram. We had a most enjoyable time; there weré about forty people in all. 1 was on the homestead three years before I ever went to town, as money was scarce and when Frank went he had to take lunch with him and sleep in he wagon at nights as Te could ok pay the Hotel fees. eal Economy in Transp. ortation Quality is the biggest factor in economy ; Quality determines the pride you take in your car; Quality -- the finest you can buy in, a low-priced car, is pi hi Chevrolet.
