J I I Round By Itnbti THE CARIBOU AND A PLAY In the hinterland of British Columbia little known save to pioneers adventurers and missionaries lies the great tract of land known as the Caribou Here people live in small set- faith of in in tiny villages or in isolated homes In their brief summers they have the beauty of towering mountains the sheen of Jake and river and the sight of growing things In the winter the temperature goes down and down and down and below is not uncommon And it is here in this rugged land where men sometimes de scend in the scale of living to the level of beasts that young mis sionaries go forth to preach the Gospel to bring the good tidings of great joy to those vho vill hear Shower Pictures Rev Gordon Hunter brought all this to us on Sunday even ing of last week when by the tale of his own work in the Cari bou and with pictures of it he showed us what some men are doing to obey Christs command to go into all the world and preach From Williams Lake where he was stationed the trails to the places he was to visit rayed out like the spokes of a wheel The roads in the spring were not roads but ruts so deep that once in there no out till some place had been reached saw pictures of men on horseback pulling the ministers car out of the mud and it an experience for one would be loath to share for the horses were western horses and one felt looking on that as they reared up they would either fall back and crush the car or break It to pieces However neither the riders nor the driver seemed upset so I suppose It was all in the days work The sheer drops beside these roads would be enough to give the ordinary driver heart failure end yet these young go on feeding the people who cannot live by bread alone Christina time Mr Hunter told us of a Christ mas service at below when he the minister wore every thing he could pile on including gloves and the organist played with gloves on for otherwise his fingers would have frozen and at the communion service the wine froze in the cups They held these over the fire until it came away from the sides of the cup and came out like a little ball We saw the little churches and the schools where ministers teachers try to feed child ren and adults with mental and spiritual food Each little community has a stampede of its own and we saw the wild riding and the enthusiasm of the onlookers Mr Hunter said the work of the is to keep alive the The paint for beautiful WALLS CEILINGS our fathers in those who are amid an almost pagan way of life to baptize to marry to conduct funeral services and to try to reach out to those vho have never known Christ or who in the wild country have discard ed all belief and live lives as vild It is good for us people in our comfortable homes to know that these young soldiers of the Cross are holding the front line for Christ as surely as our soldiers in Korea are holding the line for democracy We cannot all be missionaries but we can pray and we can give At Pickering College On Saturday evening Archie and I travelled to the college to see George Bernard Shaws play The Devils Disciple Now the other half of the family and rather pride ourselves on al ways being on time It is said and now we know its true that pride goes before a fall and ours had a serious fall We arrived about two minutes late and the door was just shut which left us to watt with some others for the end of the first act It vas a good lesson Any experience is twice as pleasant when shared and Ar chie and always find double enjoyment when see any thing together Saturday night we were not close enough to talk much but I had quite won derful sharers You see Mrs took pity on my and got us squeezed in near the front and my neigh bors a small boy and girl Im always little afraid that children will not care for a grownup to start talking but here the boy took the initiative and from there on compared notes and discussed many things These tvo small people were relatives of Mr and Mrs Beer and come to the college for most of the Archie meantime was given the first act by Brian so we had that pleasant experience of meeting new young friends Devils The play The Devils was In the true Shaw tra ditiondrama humor wit and compelling interest The characters well chosen Dick Dudgeon the Devils Disciple played by Peter was fine and showed how in the hour of trial a man can shed the shackles of habit and stand forth a man Judith Anderson played by Mairc Jack son was very fine Her vastilla tions between supposed love and duty were excellently portrayed Her husband Rev Anthony Anderson played by Mc- was also a difficult part as it portrayed a mans change from pacifism to a fighting spirit The parts of General goyne and Major Swindon play ed by James Watson Ken neth brought us into contact with the British officer Space does not permit me to mention all the cast which was chosen by a master hand and certainly Mr Mr and their associates de serve the thanks of
