Between 1901 and 1906, before she married, she travelled twice to Canada (1901 and 1902) and to several times to Jamaica to visit relatives. Her brother Francis (Frank) married, Amea, the daughter of Hon. Andrew George Blair1 (Canadian Minister of Railroads & Canals) and his wife Annie Elisabeth (nee Thompson). Most of her letters to her mother during her journeys have survived and I have transcribed them, deciphering the often difficult handwriting. I have kept to her spelling, punctuation and formatting. The letters are a fascinating insight into the life in Canada at the start of the 20th century. She was very privileged in staying with the family of A. G. Blair and meeting the Governor General, Lord Minto, and the Prime Minister, Wilfrid Laurier. She also reveals the prejudices of that time of a typical upper class young English woman abroad: very Anglican, avoiding discussions of the South African war, disapproving “Yankee” twang and using non-PC descriptions of coloured people. In 1903, back in England, she gave some lectures of her impressions and I have transcribed her notes. These fill in some of the background to her visit. Some events described in the letters are repeated in these notes. I have included many end notes. All have been taken from public domain sources using Google searches. Many are copies from Wikipedia. It is remarkable the amount of fascinating information that is available for these years of the beginning of the 20th century: biographies, political events, passenger lists, geographical descriptions etc. Ella married my grandfather, Rev. Maurice Ingram Holme, on July 27, 1909. They had one child (Hugh Francis, my father). She died on February 27, 1952, in Wrecclesham, Surrey, at the age of 80. 1 Andrew George Blair, PC KC (March 7, 1844 – January 25, 1907) was a Canadian politician in New Brunswick, Canada. He was first elected to the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick in 1878. He joined the parliamentary opposition in the legislature and, in 1879, became leader of the opposition to the Conservative

The steps taken by Governor Carleton in calling this assembly are detailed in his letter of October 25, 1785, to Lord Stanley in the Colonial Office at London: "My Lord, I have the honor to inform your Lordship that having completed such arrangements as appeared to be previously requested, I directed writs to issue on the 15th instant for convening a General Assembly to meet on the first Tuesday in January next. In this first election it has been thought advisable to admit all males of full age who have been inhabitants of the province for no less than three months to the privilege of voting, as otherwise many industrious and meritorious settlers, who are improving the lands allotted to them but have not yet received the King's Grant, must have been excluded. … The House of Representatives will consist of 26 members, who are chosen by their respective counties, no Boroughs or cities being allowed a distinct Representation. The county of St. John is to send six members, Westmorland, Charlotte, and York four members each, Kings, Queens, Sunbury and Northumberland, each two members.

FOREWORD One of the most curious effects of our times has been the destruction of the family or clan as a unit, and while in the smaller towns and in the co~try some attempts are still made to keep the family spirit alive; it is surely doomed by the modern method of living and the individualistic attitude of the near past is slowly changing to a mass movement of the peoples who are sorting th~mselves according to business trades and occupations. The destruction of the family or clan was largely accelerated by the exodus of young men to new and undeveloped countries, where parental control was impossible, and marriages were frequently made in directions where there could be no family knowledge, thereby serving but more fully to destroy the clan spirit. The result of the wide dispersal of famil­ ies in new countries was inevitably the cause of a break that could not be mended, owing to the not infrequent lack of vital records. The writer's research work took him far afield and in endeavoring to trace all the various lines of the family it was not an unusual occurrence to receive a letter from some of the more outlying members of the family inquiring "Who are we?" or "Please tell us about our family." It was frequently the writer's good fortune to be able to give the information required, thereby tying the lost members to the greater body.

    Two Churches by Frank Wills: St. Peter's, Barton, and St

    ANALYSIS I ANALYSE TWO CHURCHES BY FRANK WILLS: ST. PETER'S, BARTON, AND ST. PAUL:S, GLANFORD, AND THE ECCLESIOLOGICAL GOTHIC REVIVAL IN ONTARI01 Professor MALCOLM THURLBY, Ph 0., F.S A., >MALCOLM THURLBY enjoys cooking, watching soccer, and driving his wife's BMW Z3 whilst listening to the music of Roy Wood. His latest book, Romanesque Architecture and Sculpture in Wales, was published by Logaston Press, Almeley (Hel'efordshirel. in June 2006. n his entry on Frank Wills (1822-1857) Iin the Dictionary of Canadian Biogra­ phy, Douglas Richardson wrote: "It could be argued that Frank Wills was the most important Gothic Revival architect of his generation in North America, even though he is one of the least known figures today. His obscurity must be due partly to the widespread range of his work-from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the Gulf of Mexico to the St. Law­ rence River-and partly to his early death." 2 Richardson's assessment is quite accurate, for although Wills's Anglican cathedrals in Fredericton and Montreal are generally given an important place in the history of Canadian architecture, 3 and Fredericton has often received interna­ tional recognition,4 his role in the Gothic Revival elsewhere in North America is little studied.' Nowhere is this more evident than in Ontario where his work has been almost completely ignored.' To some extent, this is understandable in that there are just three Wills churches documented in Ontario, of which only one survives. That legacy is eclipsed by that of William Hay (1818-1888), who arrived in Toronto in 1853.

    Francis Andrew Brewin, “He Who Would Valiant Be”: the Makings of a Canadian Anglican Christian Socialist

    Francis Andrew Brewin, “He Who Would Valiant Be”: The Makings of a Canadian Anglican Christian Socialist JOHN BREWIN1 Francis Andrew Brewin (1907-1983) was a formative figure in the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) and later in the New Democratic Party. He helped to shape a party that shaped Canada. FAB, as I shall refer to him, was a lifelong “practising” Anglican. He represented a significant Anglican contribution to the Canadian polity. His religious sensibilities led to his decision to join the CCF in 1935 and determined the nature of his participation. This paper focuses on FAB’s decision to join the CCF, and examines the cultures that interacted to produce that decision. It will be argued that his religion and his politics were completely integrated. In his context it made sense for FAB to become a democratic socialist of the Canadian variety. The paper’s methodology is influenced by the approach of Clifford Geertz, as described by Aletta Biersack.2 The decision by FAB to join and to become active in the CCF is best understood as a cultural event, the convergence of cultures that gave FAB his world-view and informed his actions. I will, therefore, look at each of the main sources of FAB’s cultural perspective. In revisiting the way in which one Christian of a particular tradition responded to the problems of his day, one might glimpse how we might respond to the almost overwhelming social, economic and environmental challenges of our own day.
