Waste Paper Paying For Pool A Speaker Relates Clear Picture > Trinidad Life and Mrs. Orion S. Hall, David and Barbara Lu, 323 Church Street, after flying home from New Zeaâ€" land. Mr. E. 0. Hall, a teacher at London Central Collegiate along with Mrs. Hall spent the past year travelling the North and South Islands of New Zealand. Mrs. Chantler, president, read the scripture lesson, John 10: 1â€"16. The responsive lesson, Psaim 72, Give the King thy Judgments, Dr. £rnup arose and said, "My topic this morning is ‘The Land of the Hummingbird,‘ and quite apâ€" propriately a name for Trinidad, as there are hummingbirds there all winter." Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Wyatt McEwan on their 47th an» niversary, March 29, Mr. and Mrs. McEwan are now residingâ€"â€" on Lambton â€"Ave. Mount Dennis. Mr. and Mrs. E. 0. Hall, London, Ontarid are spending this week with ‘their son and his family Mr, Sunday last was WMS Sunday. The choir lent its splendid serâ€" vices, The anthem, "Christ is Risen," and Mr. Higgin‘s solo, "I Sought the Lord," were very fine. _ Rev. Mr. Morton, a Presbyterian preacher, went to Trinidad for his health. He was alarmed at condiâ€" tions, so asked his home church in ‘Nova Scotia to send him back as & missionary. He organized churches and schools on the plantations; Sunday schools wherever he could ‘find shelter. These people were Hindu or Mohammadan. The chilâ€" dren‘s schools have the first threeâ€" quarter hour in the morning as & religious educational session, The result is after one hundred years there is a fine basis of religlous knowledge on the island, There are 13,000 members in the church. Mrs:; Horace LaRose and Mrs. 8. J. Norman were Easter guests of Mr. and Mrs. Neville Brighton, South Euclid, Cleveland, Ohio. Two children were baptized and the Junior SS marched down to the baptismal hymn. Dr. Arnup is the perfect public speaker as he grasps his audience in the first sentence. He went on to tell of conditions in Trinidad before 1845, Britain proclaimed all slavery abolished in every part of her Empire. The plantations of sugar cane, coffee and cocom were processed by slave labor. The owners of plantations: tried Portuguese labor, They were too slow. Then they tried Chinese labor, The Chinese were fine workâ€" ers, but soon fairly owned the plantations. So they went to India and brought over the destitute with free passage (but took it out of their meagre pay). Hundreds came but were housed in hovels where they had to cook outside in all weather. ‘ Dr. and Mrs. Amup went to Trinidad last year on a cargo boat which stopped at ten islands. The: boat followed the Gulf Stream out of Halifax, but as the Gulf Stream runs north and the boat was going south, the ses was anything but smooth, and as those of us who have crossed the ocean know, most passengers were not very lively. However, in a few days, after visâ€" iting ten islands, they reached the sunny land of the Hummingbird, Dr. Arnup went to see the evoluâ€" tion of the East Indian in this loveâ€" ly island, Mrs. Arnup was to find a fine WMS organization carrying on & wider work than the parent Canadian one. Dr. Amup was obâ€" server at & "tea" given in honor of Mrs. Arnup. He saw handsome, wellâ€"groomed East Indian women, well educated and fluent speakers, efficiently doing the work of our conference or Presbyterial officers. One woman has two daughters at Alma College. Another has two sons at Mount Allison University. |PERSONALS Continued from page 1â€" YWCA. Dinner guests included several people who were either natives of or had visited other countries and who had interesting things to show the delegates inâ€" cluding . native costumes, . songs and games. There are 68 primary schools with 600 teachers, There is Napaâ€" rena school for boys, Naparena school for girls with 600 students, a training school for teachers with one of our faculty men as head, a theological college, the Archibald Institute for Young Women with homeâ€"making and literary departâ€" ments and a home for homeless children, Although all do not beâ€" come Christians,, still even the Mahommedan schools are full of goodwill for the Christian training in the Canadian missions. This was a wonderfully clear picture of life on the island of Trinidad. At the close of the conference the delegates evaluated what had taken place and presented recomâ€" mendations. The &omn delegates will be reporting back to their clubs on what took place at this annual Yâ€"Teen Conference.
