Vin Egmond home restored
The gradual press of
the restoration of the Van
Egmond home in
Egmondville continues
this summer with the
help of Rebecca Garrett.
Rebecca, who has spent
many summers in
Goderich• and last year
compiled the microfilm
of the Clinton News -
Are -cord for the Huron
County . Library_ Board,
has been at her job for
two weeks.
She is a fine arts
student at the Ontario Art
College, and will be
returning in the fall for
her third year.
Her artistic ability is
necessary to her work
this summer as, she is
making a plan for the
interior furnishing of the -
Van Egmond home.
So far, she has been
doing a great deal of
research, consulting
books, records, and
letters to "find out the
lifestyle, means, and
class situation, as well as
the period styles and
decorations."
With the guidance of
Nicholas Hill, a Goderich
architect, Rebecca will
proceed "room by
room". She will decide
exactly what particular
pieces of furniture will be
placed in eath room, and
determine the wall
coverings and • the
draperies as well. Last,
she will draw up a plan.
Upstairs in the house
will be a display and
multi-purpose area, with ---
one room reserved for a
collection of family ar-
tifacts - the Van Egmond
room.
The downstairs will be
furnished in pieces of the
1840 to 1860 period. The
bedroom has been
completed, an authentic
wooden floor from an old
farm house just laid in
the kitchen, and a new
ceiling will be placed in
the kitchen.
The old bed is the rope
variety, the ropes are tied
to the frame to serve as a
support for the mattress.
Rebecca, who works
for the Van Egmond
Foundation is here as
part of the Experience 79,
the Ontario government
summer work •program.
In addition to Rebec-
ca's contrib7i3'ion, two -
students will work for
four weeks preparing a
resource package of the
history of the house and
the Van Egmonds for the
Board of Education.

BY THE REVEREND
A.F. LOEBACH
1 was a stranger and
you' made me welcome.
These •words from the
Gospel according to St.
Matthew (xxv,35-43)
challenge the Christian
people of Canada, and the
world today. Thousands
of homeless people are
languishing in refugee
camps in Asia and other
areas. ,Hundreds have
taken to boats and are
wandering the high seas
seeking for a place to
land.
Who are these people?
They are our brothb's
and .sisters in Christ,
most of them
dispossessed of home and
land through no fault of
their own, many of them'
fleeing from their •own
country because they can
no longer live • in peace.
under the oppressive
rulers of -their land.
What specific con-
tribution can we
Christians make to
remedy such situations?
First ,. of all, we can
reject the selfish attitude
that ,the portion of the
world we happen to live in
is somehow divinely
given to us and therefore,
no one else can have any
.claim, even to share it.
God did not give Canada
to Canadians for their
own exclusive and per-
manent use. Rather He
lent it to us - gave it to us
to be cared for as good
stewards. Some, day we
will be called upon to
render an account of our
stewardship. If we.hoard
it as our own exclusive
domain and • refuse to
share it, even with those
in desperate need, we
may well one day hear
our Master say to us:
"You worthless
steward".
Only when the con-
sciences of our Christian
Canadian people have
wrestled with these
truths and have
responded to Christ's call
for universal brotherhood•
will our leaders be moved
to liberalize our
Immigration Laws to
take care of emergencies
that arise. But if we let
fear of having to make..
some sacrifice of our
comfort if large numbers
of immigrants are : ad-
mitted prevent us from
opening our hearts to
them, then we have
ceased to have the right
•to call ourselves • a
Christian nation.
SPONSORSHIP OF
REFUGEES
But there is, something
that we• can do right now,
far more effective than
simply _deploring the
unhappy situation. We
can do as many of our
countrymen have already
done -sponsor a refugee.
In our own locality,
there is already one 18 -
year -old young man from
Vietnam living with a
farm family. Another
'amity is awaiting• the
arrival- of two more,
brothers in their teens,
who should arrive salon.
And all over. -the country
Christian families,
thankful for God's gifts,
are giving a new life in
Canada to people whose
lives in their own country
had been brutally
disrupted. '
How does one become a
•sponsor?
There are legal
technicalities involved,
and it will take time; but -
it can be done.
The -first 'step is to'` -
apply- to the local
Canadian • Immigration
Centre. There you will
learn what is involved
and the steps that must
be taken.
i
Who can become - a
sponsor?
Almost anyone is able
to be a sponsor provided
that they have certain
qualifications.
It is significant that
both the families in this
locality who are spon-
soring refugees, are
themselves immigrants.
Perhaps, having lived'
elsewhere, they ap-
preciate better the
blessings of life in
Canada and, in their
gratitude, they want to
share them with others.
