THE WEE CHURCH ON THE HILL
* * *
A homely church is Caven church,
And all are welcome there.
•It doesn’t matter who you are,
Both rich and poor from near and
far
Can join in praise and prayer.
A living church is Caven Church,
Where many a soul is stirred,
When the gospel story there is told,
It grips the heart of young and old,
That ever-gripping word.
The minister of sweet Caven
Is known? and loved by all;
He is a faithful friend indeed,
And ready in the hour of need
To answer duty’s call.
The choir of the church of Caven,
The wee church on the hill,
Can sweetly sing their songs of
praise,
With joy their lovely anthems
raise,
And give each heart a thrill.
Long may the church of Caven
To all a blessing prove.
God bless the minister and his
flock
Whose faith is founded on the rock,
The rock that cannot move. r

GRAND BEND
Home and School Associations of
Grand Bend and B. Line sponsored
a community health meeting at
which H. K. <Eilber acted as chair
man. Df. R. H. Taylor, M.O.H., in
a brief address, pointed out that
while 92 per cent of parents had
signed up in favor of inoculation
against diphtheria and scarlet fev
er, 99 per cent of pupils in Stephen
township were receiving the pre
ventive treatment. The guest speak
er, Hon. George Hoadley, National
Committee Mental Hygiene, Toronto,
clearly pointed out the value of
(preventive measures in any scheme
of health for home and municipality.
Infant mortality is the most sensi
tive index of the progress of a na
tion. In 1937 Canada’s infant
mortality rate was 76 per 1,000 live
births, while the rate for New Zea
land was .30. Sir George Newmah
has pointed out that “No nation is
great which neglects its children.”
What is education without health?
Available health services for every
family in a municipality would do
more to weed out the evils of our
present system of lack of preven
tion, in one generation, than any
thing else we can think . of An out
line for municipal health services
was given,

WESTWARD, THE LAND IS BRIGHT
It was from the following poem by Arthur Hugh
Clough that Mr. Churchill concluded his address Sunday
afternoon. It appears as a hymn in the old Methodist
Hymn Book:
Say not, The struggle nough*t availeth,
The labour and the wounds are vain,
The enemy faints not nor faileth,
And as things have been they remafn.
If hopes were duipes,.fears may be liars;
It may be, in yon smoke concealed,
Your comrades chase e’en now the fliers,
And but for you possess the field.
For while the tired waves, vainly breaking,
Seem here no painful inch to gain, *
Far back, through creeks and inlets making,
Comes silent, flooding in, the main.
And not by eastern windows only,
When daylight comes, comes in the light;
In front the sun climbs slow—how slowly!
But westward, look! the land is bright.
ESKIMO RANCHER
• Charlie Rufus, Canada’s first Es
kimo reindeer rancher, has made
good. It is estimated that the rein
deer0 entrusted to his management,
under government supervision, will
number about 2,000 head after
the next fawning, at which time he
will. be ready to’ return to the gov
ernment a herd equal to the original
950 deer lent him in December,’
,19i38. These" animals were lent
with the understanding that their
equivalent’would be returned when
the native-managed herd increased
substantially in size. In addition,
the government provided herd ‘dogs
and. other equipment, as well as a
quantity .of rations to assist in main
taining the herders for the first
year,
Before taking .charge of the deer,
Charlie Rufus served three years
as an apprentice herdei’ at the gov-
0
ernment reindeei* station, where a
herd of about 4,300 animals is at
present maintained. • Under the su
pervision of a government chief <
herder, he has .proved 'himself cap
able of handling the deer success
fully, not permitting any waste of
reindeer products, and showing .good
business acumen in disposing of
surplus meat and' hides. He now,
has a well-balanced herd of ap
proximately 1,500 deer, located in
the Anderson river area, 150 miles
east of the igovernment reindeer
station.
A second native herd, numbering
about 700 animals, was establish
ed recently in the Horton River
area, east of the .first native herd.
The deer were driven overland .from
the .government reindeer station,
and lent to Peter Cogillak, an Es
kimo who also received training as
an apprentice herder-.

Although still in its infancy,
Canada’s reindeer industry is mak
ing good progress. At present the
main concern ’ is the training of
young natives in reindeer husband
ry, and as time goes on additional
hei’ds will be placed under Eskimo
management at suitable places.
Thus a self-sustaining industry foi-
the benefit of the native population
is being developed in the Canad
