great ‘any in, this northern. interior:
In 1802 the late. Bishop, Reeve, then
Bishop of the Diocese of Mackenzie
River, made a nappeal for a man to
establish a. mission among the’ Indians
of the great.northern, wildreness—Hay
Hiyer,800 iniles north of , Edmonton
about the same distance south of the
Hudson’ 8. Bay Co.'s post at Fort Simp-
son;+t pbe the. Missionary — Centre.
Thomas J. Marsh | then. gvaduating
from Wycliffe. College, responded to
this.call and set forth with ‘the Bish.
op in July. of.that year to take up, this,

his college mate, also of the paorty,.on
his way to open up, the, Arctic Mission.

Mr..Marsh, the only white man iz
the great area .assigned to him, lived
at first with Chooutla, the friendly In-
dian ehblef, .By acts. of- devotion and
e,.xtrenle courage he. won the: hearts
of the, Indians, and drew, about him n
few boys for, daily teaching—the be-
‘ginnings of that grent school, now one
of the gloriey, of our Church in the
north conntry.

His was a slow and a laborious ‘task
first clearing the land fur a Mission
House, cutting, squaring and haluing
timber, und as the building was, com
pleted, gradually. winning the first of
the boys to come ond live in it.

Mission an atmosphere thnit strength

| Later -Misd, Margaret, Ths arrived to
‘be. «mation, .She, wrote of, what she
found on arriy nl— “There “were six
‘houses in the village and a good sig ed
clearing about th eMission House. The
‘front garden was full ef growing veg-
etubies and gay with. flowers and vines
while inside everything was | bright
and home like’ ‘In that, year Ar,
Marsh travelled on foot with his dogs
to Edmonton and later. returned with
his bride, ever, since his brave and
helpful companion..in the outstanding
