A fat man bumped into a lean
one going up the post office steps.
“From the looks of you,” said
the fat one, belligerently, “there
must have been a famine.”
“And from the looks of you,”
retorted the lean one, ‘.‘you're the

A survey of 76,900 new homes built in natural gas terri-
tory last year in America reveals that 92 per cent reported
the use of natural gas for cooking; 95 per cent used
natural gas for water heating; 88 per cent used natural gas
for house heating, and 11 per cent reported the installa-
tion of new gas refrigerators.
This is magnificent evidence that today’s gas household
appliances are far superior in performance, smarter in
appearance and more economical to operate.
Let this evidence guide you with your own building or
modernizing for a home that provides easier, better living.
be laid to rest in the cemetery in
the shadow of the first Protestant
Church (the one mentioned above) '
built north of the Beaver River.
It seemed most fitting and proper
that it should be so, yet, the com- '
munity still misses her sorely. '
and any Protestant may become ]
a member. People are never in- ,
terested as to whether one was
Methodist, Baptist, Christian, or
anything else. All may worship j
together. Only the Minnonites <
have failed to avail themselves <
of the opportunity to line up with .
other Protestants. They have a
church a few miles south of the ,
Beaver, but, for the most part,
they have services in each others 1
homes, and conduct it in German. *
They speak a language which is !
a mixture of Dutch, Russian and :
German; but it is not writtenrso ,
they use German. These people :
are not especially popular with
other people, especially since I
Canada is at war with Germany.
The population of (his home-
stead country does not strike me .
, as being “Religion Conscious.”1 ,
- Particularly since the passing of ,
Mrs. Koch. Perhaps the severe j
winters and the very busy sum- "■
mere have something to do with
it, together with, the fact that so
few are, even yet, able to keep
cars. This does not seem to inter-
fere with dance attendance how-
ever. My own family is not ac-
tive in religion of the community,
though we do not neglect religi-
ous training of our, children, it
often seems more adequate than
what they get at church. To see
that there was adequate training
at the church would require full
time of not only a preacher, 'but
the few devout Christians as well.
Personally, I’ve found it necessary
to spend my time ministering to
the physical needs of the com-
munity in addition to carrying my
part of the family and the gen-
eral welfare and development of
the Country to such an extent

Mrs. Lloyd Tennis Discusses
Religious Activities In Canada
Barnes’-Crossing, Saskatchewan.
Dear Texas Friends:
It’s gratifying to notice from
your paper that religious activities
continue to interest the people as
they did years ago. No doubt
you’ll be* interested in that sub-
ject as I see it here. ---------
The Catholics were the first to
build a church in our community.
It was built of logs, the labor be-
ing donated, and the priest sup-
plying luxurious food and plenty
of tobacco for the workmen. The
priest came-from north of the
Water Hen River, (7 miles from
here) where he’d been working
among the Cree Indians. A hduse
was built for him near the church.
For quite a while I think they
had services each Sunday. Be-
fore the building of the church the
services were held in the home
of the devout member. The past
few years, however, it is held only
once a month, and the priest
comes from Meadow Lake for the
service. —.... -
Protestants, likewise, held serv-
ice-in homes at first. The first
. - la
wee bit of grain, one woman,"
whose home was less crowded
than the rest, invited the home-
steaders to meet there for Thanks-
giving. No preacher was there,
but we sang hymns and I guess
never before was thc Lord’s pray-
er more sincerely offered up than
on that day. Especially do I
remember the part which said,
“Give us this day our daily
bread.” In those days we certain-
ly were not assured of food ex-
cept as it was provided daily.
Our hostess • had the house dec-
orated with what she had harvest-
ed from her garden. After serv-
ice we had a feast from .the vari-
ous delicious dishes brought by
the peoDle wlio attended, I be-
.lieve this occasion has gone down
in history as did the first Thanks-
giving of the Pilgrims of Massa-
chusetts.
Other services were held in this
same .home. Sunday School,,

ly attended betause of the dif-
.da^s. During the . S u m m e r I church!
months there was a student-from chief interest seeins to be the

students'managed,-with the help ’and the proceeds go to furnishing
of the people. . to build a log the church. Services at the church
vhutsh, and.gradually .it is being are mainly limited to such beca-
furnished. There were not even sibns. funerals, arid irregular
school houses in which tb hold preaching service when the pas-
tor from Meadow Lake comes out
here to preach. Last surpmer
where we had the first Thanks- there was not even- a student
and from Toronto, there being more
iro- demands for Student Service
an than there were students to ful-
fill the demands. . '
Radio service goes a long'way
toward helping people in outlying
districts like this, but I miss the
inspiration I always received
from' the actual presence' and
personality of a good preacher.
I wonder if you who have the
privilege of that really appre-
ciate it. "
