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.

Of Tobacco, filled up the middle of the program. Jules Feiffer's
Crawling Arnold, a satire of America and its mores, with John
Lodge, Jane Schneiker, Greg Markson, Anne Russell and Margo
Bettger, brought it to a fitting .conclusion'. This mixture of styles
and periods reflects an attempt by.the Drama group to introduce

Here's the new snowmobile
that's more fun to run. The
Massey -Ferguson Ski Whiff.
It's more fun because the
. seat is longer, softer, more
comfortable. More fun be-
cause of its stability and low
center of gravity. Because
you can adjust skis and track
to snow conditions. Because
Ski Whiz is built with the
same ruggedness MF puts
into its big machines. Come
in and look over MF's Ski
Whiz. Find out how easy it _
is to own. Make this winter
more fun than ever.
