Trinidad was named by Columbus Hensall Hilda Payne Bertha McGregor when he , first sighted the island and saw the three mountain peaks which dis- tinguish the landscape. This is a tropical country and vivid colours are por- trayed in the flora and birds of the region. There are over 300 varieties of edible bananas and they are used for many purposes as well as eating. Once the beautiful blossoms have fruited the tree dies down and sends, up new shoots from the ground. Many recipes contain bananas and coconuts which are also prolific. Furniture is made from the locally grown mahogany trees and houses are mostly built on stilts to allow free circula- tion of air underneath. Trinidad is, of course, -also famous for its steel bands of drums made from old oil barrels. For entertainment, Betty Beer sang four numbers, "Blue Eyes", "Crying in the Rain", "Sing me back home" and "Why me, Lord?" accompaning herself on the guitar and Mrs. Sadie Hoy and. Hilda Payne gave a dialogue, "The Lord's Prayer". The devotion was led by Mrs. Helen Scane and focussed on hope and faith. Spring and Easter each signify hope, and faith is the awareness of Jesus Christ as the living Lord - the message of the resurrection. The test of faith is action in a time of crisis.
