Elect Mrs. L. O'Brien
As New President
The annual meeting of the La-
thes' Aid and W.S.W.S. of Emma-
nuel E.U.B. Church was held on
Wednesday, March 9, with Mrs.
Bryce Mack as Chair -lady. The
theme for the program was, 'Loy-
alty to the Church."
Several ladies dealt with the
theme. Mrs. Lloyd O'Brien stated
that Jesus calls us to be regular
in church attendance. Mrs. Peter
Gingerich said that Jesus calls us
to Evangelism. Mrs. Harvey Clau-
sius urged us to be loyal to the
Mission Advance Program. Mrs.
Melvin Brown stressed loyalty to
Christ in the matter of attendance
at the Mid -Week Prayer Service.
Mrs. Bryce Mack presented the
Study Book on Nigeria, Africa.
It is the largest, and youngest of
all the British colonies. Jos is
about 250 miles from Bambur, the
centre of our work. Nigeria is
large compared with the others.
Most of the people have to walk
to get from one place to another.
There is one white person to 2,500
black people. There is no colour
bar. The people mostly Pagan and
Mohammedan. They are mechani-
cally minded. The climate is like
Sierre Leone, our other mission
work in Africa. The rainy season
lasts for four months. There are
three groups of provinces. Each
group has a Chief Commissioner
and District Officers. The local
chiefs are friendly to the work
and some of them attend the ser-
vices. Nigeria will secure its in -
dependance this year.
The land belongs to the people.
No European can buy or sell. They
use a lot of Visual Aids. They are
taught to read and write, and
make rapid progress. Ninety-five
per cent of the people are illi-
terate. There is no' jungle, but
the tall grass is higher than a
man. Most of the men are farm-
ers. who live in the towns and
villages, going to and from the
farm every day. They make bricks
from mud and they last for years.
They have a market to which they
take their produce.
The church can hold more than
500 people. They have two pri-
mary schools, a good dispensary,
and a hospital.
There is a training school for
Evangelists. The Guinter Hospital
is named in memory of the first
missionary to Nigeria. They have
a workshop where they make
tables. There are 40 outstations,
served by Africans. It takes 18
baptized Christians to start a
church. Four churches have been
started since 1956. Some people
are very faithful; although they
make less money than they could
elsewhere. Their first loyalty is
to the Church. They first thought
that to teach them was folly, but
now they educate them. Thus they
get along better, and the old peo-
ple are also taught.
The president, Mrs. Delbert
Geiger, took charge of the busi-
ness. Miss Olive O'Brien led in
prayer. Two delegates were ap-
pointed to attend the W.S.W.S.
Convention at Dashwood, in April.
They are Mrs. Delbert Geiger and
Mrs. LeRoy O'Brien. It was de-
cided to give out the little church-
es
hurches during Lent to raise money for
the Missionary Budget. A minute
of silent prayer was held for two
members who passed away, Mrs.
Syivanus Witmer and Mrs. Edith
Mousseau, after which Mrs. A. M.
A.macher led in prayer.
Mrs. Pearl Melick presented the
report of the nominatingwill commit-
tee. The following ladies w

Past President, Mrs. Delbert
Geiger; president, Mrs. LeRoy
O'Brien; first vice-president, Mrs.

'On Lake Conditions
(By Stanley J. Smith)
Stanley Smith is in his fourth
week of ice fishing out of St.
Joseph.
The ice is not half the thick-
ness of last winter's and he set
his first nets five weeks later
than last year.
The catch has not been been
too heavy, getting mostly Mul-
letts, with the odd Pike, Rain-
bow Trout, and some huge Ger-
man Carp. One caught last week
tipped the scales at 35 lbs.
The Lamprey Eel must be on the
increase, one out of every twelve
fish has a large lamprey scar,
mostly on their backs, They are
then not eatable.

ZURICH MENNONITE EVANGELISM
COMMITTEE
A lot of statements, regarding
the lampreys appear in the news-
papers, that they expect to wipe
out the lamprey or at least keep
them under control.
I have not seen what is to be
done with the Sawbelly fish. In
the fall and winter these fish
are in Millions along the shore,
driving the other fish into deep-
er water. The herring have been
hit the hardest, driving them away
from their spawning grounds in
November.
The herring are nearly extinct
and were caught in large num-
bers during the winter fishing
season,
After trying several times for
herring, I gave it up this winter.
The small mesh nets were plas-
tered with sawbellys and not a
herring to be found.
With the lamprey working in
deeper waters and the sawbellys
along the shore, in a few years
our lake will be good for motor
motor boating, camper's and
swimming with its waters full of
junk fish.
