Rev. H. W. Strapp of titclmow
United Church shared his pulpit
on .Sitnclay With his .brother, Rev.
O. 13. Strain?, who as -guest
speaker, told of *a :lifetime of
ministry • among the 'Canadian
Indians.
•
In Welcoming,his..brOther, the
iLucknow ..Pastor' said, it was 'only
ithe ;second % occasion that .they.
had stood together in the 'same
pulpit during .a ministry of :Up-
wards of forty years.
Rev. Oliver ,Strapp traced • the
iChristianizing .• , Of the . Indian
.from the earliest missionaries, &
dealt„ more' fully wiih'',advances
in the educating of these people
to a point where they now are be;
ing integrated in .our education-
al • System from Crade, 3 through
to Grade .12, with an end result
that: i; they': are :graduating in . all
Professions and all walks of life.
Another side is their spiritual
resources and evangelistic work
among them is very 'intoo'rtant. It
has not •beeti . easy., to, break
dAn the suspicion,..fear and dis-
trust .they have 'had of the white
wiiOrri ; their forbears had
.00rtrayed ' a- • th • -
country and :heraing. •thern 'Onto
reserves.: . ' . •
• Mr. Strapp had taken over his
father's 'duties at Cape Croker
upon';his death, arid subsequently
continued in this mission work

(Western Canada. FOr. • the past 5
years he had been. pricipal . of

.,ed ean testify. The cdst of
hockey _sticks is a big item,
arid the Club has been get-
ting along with a minimum
of reserve "hickory,"
The scarcit.,,,•z hit the very
.iliottcrri on Monday night,
wh'en. the breakage reduced
• the Lucknow' Club to five
•stichs "plus •the goalie's stick;
,Trailing by one goal, Harold
R:tcliie had' in 'mind pulling
•the goal tender for a 6th at-
tacker to see if they ceuldn't
tie the count. He couldna
tempt' the strategy for lack'
of a sixth, stick. • ,
