CHAD COLLEGE GUILD 1967 - 68 A Bizarre Bazaar as a Centennial project proved very successful for the mem¬ bers of the Emmanuel and St. Chad College Guild and from theproceeds they were able to pay for the Missionary Window in the Chapel of St. Chad. With Mrs. D.C. Disbery as President and Leader the Guild had a busy year and all activities were successful financially, and, as in former years contributions have been made to the col lege in the way of sup¬ plies and linens. Two bursaries totalling $300 and a prize of $25 for a first year student were provided and the discretionary fund was re¬ imbursed as requested. The Debating cup was engraved with the names of the winners and two individual cups presented to them . The members of the Guild appreciate being able to use the Common Room for their month ly meetings and the Chapel Auditorium for their teas and wish to thank those respon¬ sible for these favors.

MACKAY AND LLOYD RUTH MATHESON BUCK ZTAn address (abridged) delivered at St. George ' s Church, Battleford, to mark the Centennial year of Confederation 7 History is not something remote from today ' s happenings. It was the day to day living of people who were like ourselves. It is our own living, the events all around us, affected by what is past, taking their shape in its light, casting its shadow and ours into the future. No man lives unto himself. For that reason, I shall speak of people, of two men in particular. Arch¬ deacon Mackay and Bishop Lloyd; whose work and will in the past have shaped the course for us today. I speak, I suppose, as a relic of that past myself; or if not a relic, at least a representative of a family associ¬ ated with the work of the Church in the West for more than one hundred years. I must have known Archdeacon Mackay from my earliest childhood in the Mission on the Onion Lake Indian Reserve; but it is with St. George ' s that I associate him - and rightly so. I had come to spend the Christmas holidays with my uncle and aunt. Canon and Mrs. Matheson - the most exciting event in all my childhood to that time. Journeys into space may enthrall a child today. To me, it was wonder enough that I had actually seen a train, and that I had travelled on it all theway to Battleford. Even this church of St. George ' s was mar¬ velous to my eyes, and Archdeacon Mackay was the preacher that Sunday. It would be quite incredible if I said that I remembered his sermon. I expect that my whole atten¬ tion was given to the organ and the choir, to a congregation made up of white people, to those marvelous electric lights and how they shoneupon the Archdeacon ' s long white beard. But that Sunday was also New Year ' s Day, and the Archdeacon would have re¬ called that on New Year ' s Day of 1877 he and Bishop McLean had conducted the first service of worship in the Battleford area. That was in a log building erected a few weeks beforeas the station for the Dominion Telegraph, giving the name TelegraphF lat ' to the site below the hi 11 where Government House was being built. Workmen from that building made up the congregation. And with Battleford established as the seat of government for the North-west Territories, a village began to grow on the Flats, the North-west Mounted Police erected their barracks on the high land between the rivers, and P.G. Laurie came in 1878 to set up the printing office for the West ' s first newspaper, The Saskatchewan Herald 11 . In September of 1877, the Rev. J .A. Mackay returned to Battleford to establish a mission here. There wasno house for him, nor any church. He and his family lived in tents on the Battle River until he cut logs and built their home. They moved into it on November 15, and winter set in the next day. The log church that he erected near Government House was named St. John ' s. It is long since gone, but it seems right that theCathedral of this Diocese should bear the same name. John Alexander Mackay was born at Moose Factory on James Bay in 1838, when the work of our Church in the West was only beginning to extend beyond its first Mission in theRed River Settlement. He was theson and grandson of Hudson ' s Bay Company of¬ ficers, and someof the granite hardness that was essential if men were to survive in the conditions of that day - if they were to fur¬ ther the work of the great Company into whose service they had entered - some of that granite was also i n the character of Mackay when he entered the highest and noblest service open to men. Trained first at Moose Factory under the Rev. John Horden, who was later the Bishop of Moos- onee, Mackay travelled toRed River to enter St. John ' s College, and was ordained in 1863 by Bishop Anderson, the first Bishop of Rupert ' s Land. In 1865, he was sent to Stanley Mission, for our early missions all
