A six-year-okl romance this summer

a young Anglican missionary.

Distributor, grunting with its barges
down the great Mackenzie waterway,
had as passenger Ivy May Lawrence,-
of Gorrie, Ont. Down the gangplank
came also Rt. Rev. H. A. Sovereign,
Anglican Bishop of Athabasca and
ashore stood Rev. Henry L. Jennings,
graduate of Hjiron Theological Col
lege, University of Western Ontario.
It was almost a year since Jen
nings, a graduate in 1935, moved in
to the decrepit mission house with
sagging floors and crumbling wall
paper to keep house for himself un
til he .and his fiancee could complete
their wedding plans. June 23rd they
stood before the bishop and were
married.
In 1931 they had met at Ripley, in
Bruce County, Ont., where Jennings
was working as student in charge of
the parish. They became engaged
and began saving for the day when
they could establish a home some
where, Jennings graduated, was or-
plained the next year, volunteered for
the mission at Norman, a little post
150 miles south of the Arctic Circle,
and sent for Ivy May.
She spent eight days in Toronto
selecting her wardrobe and was mar
ried here in a white ankle-length
dress and a white off-the-face straw
hat with a small veil, In that outfit,
too, she appeared on shore when the
Distributor, making the season’s sec
ond voyage, tied up, carrying Lord
Tweedsmuir and his party and flying
the Vice-Regal standard.
The Governor-General was touched
by the appearance of the girl, jusj> re
covering •from an illness, shook hands
with her and inquired after her
health,
