But why do I mention Irene Watton. Partly because she is a native of Huron County and partly because her hus band was once an Anglican Minister at. Lucknow, Blingannon, Port Albert and pos- sibly Ripley. As you may knovi he is Bishop of Moosonee, but he is also Archbishop Watton, Metro- politan of .the Ecclesiastical Prov- ince of Ontario, of whfch Huron is a part. The Church Office here tells me that heis addressed face to face as Your Grace and in writing as The Most Reverend J. A. Watton,. B.A., L.Th,, D.D. We in Huron cannot claim him, with pride, as an Old Boy, but he did grow up in our neigbhour to the north. The book is The Land of Moosoneek by.'Olive Mackay Peter- sen, Mrs. Petersen is of Scottish ,background frinn Pictou Count r, BY THE COUNTRY MOUSE A year or two ago, Irene Watton told me about a book which was being written about the Diocese of Moosonee, very interesting and very informative. That awful History again! Plus Religion, judging by its name! And who wants to read about History? And Religion? But Combined, worse .still! A bit before Christmas, Irene phoned me (not from Schumacher) and told me the book was on sale. She did such a good selling job that I ordered a book, since I am interested in both -History and Religion, especially if they are Canadian. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23, 1975 ABOUT CANADIAN BOOKS!. THE LUCKNOW SENTINEL, LUCKNOW ONTARIO Nova Scotia. .Her husband, Reinhold Petersen, was a prospec- tor of Scandinavian background. They combine two of the nationalit- ies very active in the early years of the North.' Mrs. Petersen gives as a setting for her story, the work of Radisson and Groseilliers, some- times called Mr; Radishes • and Mr. Gooseberrieg. •Their explora- tions and experiences led eventu- ally to the formation of the "Goveinor and Company of Adven- tures of England Trading into Hudson's Bay" - what a grandiose name! We know it as The Hudson Bay Company, or simply The Bay when applied to the retail stores. An early missionary in the north was a Methodist, Rev. James Evans. One of his great contribu- tions was the invention of the Cree syllabic alphabet. Moravian mis- sionaries had also been active among the Eskimo•and had printed a little book containing The Lord's Prayer, the Creeds and some Hymns, From there on the book deals mostly with the work of the ' Anglican Missions among the Indians in what is now the Diocese of Moosonee. With the increase in' lumbering and mining in Northern Ontario and Northern Quebec, there were great• changes. More and mare churches 'were established in the new towns. Many of the ministers Were in charge of several churches and had to travel unbelievable distances - by snowshoe, dog team, canoe, then cars and finally. planes. .There was always the .problem of finances, and the solving of that and many other problems makes fascinating reading. Since this is primarily , the history of the Anglican church in the North, there is little mention of the other denominations, but Mrs. Petersen Honoured On 84th Birthday ZION NEWS • Lane Gardner held open house in, honour of his mother, Mrs. Henry Gardner's 84th birthday on Satur- day; April '19 at Pinecrest. Manor,. Lucknow, where she has been a resident for• some time. A number ,,of her Zion neighbours joined to celebrate the birthday. \ Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Jerome, Sherri, Linda and Paul spent Sunday in Campbellville with Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Ryckman and family. Mr. and Mrs. • Frank Ritchie had a visit from his niece, Mrs. Lou Barry of Toronto .Friday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Wilkins visited her mother, Mrs. William Irwin-and Lloyd on Sunday and also with her brother, Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Irwin and family of Oshawa, who were also at the Irwin home in Kinloss. . .• Mr, and Mrs. Russel , Swan attended the wedding of his nephew, Ralph Swan,' son of Earl Swan Jr., and Nancy Hunter, both of Cambridge (Galt) on Saturday afternoonut St. AmbroSe Church in Galt, with the reception in the evening. Mrs. Lorne Cook, Sharon and Janet visited•Sunday with her aunt, Mrs. Violet MacKenzie in Ripley. Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Raynard and family visited Saturday even- ing with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert McAllister of Dungannon area. Mr. and Mrs. Allan Ritchie and Bryce visited with her brother, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Culbert and family of Cambridge (Galt) on Sunday. Sympathy of the community is extended to Jack Gardner and family on the death of_ Mrs. Gardner, Lucknow. Mr. and Mrs. does tell of two or threepsing the same• building for services ecuminicity in action. And some of the places of worship, you wouldn't believe! In spite of the fact the book is very factual, I had many chuckles at the humorous incidents and quotations. It is worth reading 'for its historiCal content, the incredible hardships endured by the early workers and the knowledge we get of the fine character, and religious feeling of the Indians - before they • were corrupted by the other white men in their midst. Another book I have just finished is The Feathered U.E.L.'s by Enos • Montour, and is a story of the Indians of the Grand River Reserve, who came to Canada after the American Revolution because they had fought on the 'side of the English and wanted to remain under the Union Jack, and prob- ably also for some of the other reasons our white IRE.L.'s came to Ontario. :This book is more of a ' Historical Romance in that it uses one family As a centre and the story revolves around the various, mem- bers and two or three generations. It tells how some of the Indians took part in the War of 1812, the Fenian Raids and both World Wars. It also tells the life story of many Indians who have won great recognition and respect in many of the professions of the White Man's World. I found- this, book very interesting and readable. The chapters do not always follow• in chronological order r some • are flashbacks: In spite of some of the bitterness expressed' by some Indians nowadays - much of it quite justified - there is no sign of it in Mr. Montour's book. It is a story of his proud people who chose Canada for their home. Mr. Montour is a, graduate in Journalism, also a minister who has served at Ohsweken on the Grand, Caugh- nawaga, Quebec and in the Canadian West. PAGE TWENTY-ONE able to return home'.
