McCl ea ve Methodist Quest in Untamed Canada A QUESTION OF JUDGMENT by Phyllis Brett Young (Don Mills, Longmans, 1969; 256 pages) The innocent involvement of a young school teacher and her five students in. a crime of murder help create the excitement and suspense Author Phyllis Brett Young has so skillfully woven into her latest book. Miss Young was borne and has spent most of her life in Toronto. During time spent in Switzerland, she wrote Psyche, and later, Undine, winning her audiences in North America and Europe. This new story, set in a small New England tpwn, possesses all the requirements of a spellbinding tale. A chance meeting in the supermarket, a woman's body found floating in the river, a mysterious cottage, the danger of unsuspecting children, the sex abberation of the victim's husband, and the discovery of unwanted evidence. Then, the outcome of a taut court trial which hangs on the judgment of our young school teacher. What does she decide? Young writes in the first person and employs the use of flashbacks. Her beautifully written descriptions add to the reading enjoyment. RYERSON OF UPPER CANADA by Clara Thomas (Toronto, Ryerson Press, 1969; 151 pages) Ryerson and Canada were, young and simple together. In 1825, Egerton Ryerson, 22 -years -old, began . his eirou-itsriding.--mission Methodist Connexion in Upper Canada. During • his lifetime he rose to become one of the most influential men in the country. This is his story. HUTCHINS 6a APPLI; Dr. Clara McCandless Thomas, Professor of English at York University, vividly brings to life this gallant crusader of education in the backwoods of infant Canada. She tells of the hardships he endured as he rode from town to town, mission to mission, to preach a new practical word of God. She travels with him over this rough untamed country where life depends on the swiftness of man's horse, darting between lightning struck trees and ahead of the fangs of the hungry wolf. Small and muddy frontier towns spring alive as they fight the crowd hecklers and combat the sarcasm and snobbery of the established Church of England. John Strachan, Archdeacon in York, refuses to. acknowledge the legal existence of the Methodists. Ryerson so brilliantly dissects Strachan's arguments point after point that it actually leads to heated sessions in Parliament in Canada and England. This is the story -of York 1825, a little garrison town of 1,000 leaping to 10,000 when incorporated as Toronto in 1834; the birth,of free and compulsory priary schooling fo'r all children; and the awakening of the province to believe education is a primary responsibility of the government. This book is of special interest to readers in southwest Ontario. These two books are available at the Clinton and Goderich Public Libraries. I wish all my readers a happy and safe Holiday Season.
