It's Fun To Make
Christmas Candle
To make a big Christmas candle,
melt four cakes of paraffin wax
until they are just soft enough to
stick together.
Insert a piece of cord for a Wick
between the second and third.
Then melt a fifth cake of paraffin
completely, beat it to a froth and
spread over the four cakes that
you have stuck together. You will
have a large snowy white candle.
If you want another color, just add
a colored wax crayon to the par
affin you are melting for the out
side.
Place the candle on a sauce.r and
around its base place pine cones,
holly or anything suggestive of
Christmas.

Book Review
•> By Sister Hilary
Artie Wings
ARTIC WINGS: Leising, Reverend
William A. O.M.I. New York,
Doutoleday, 1959, 335 pp. $4.95.
“There is no force on earth that
rips open the heart of a man like
the rough-edged knife of human
misery, there is no greater fuel to
fire the heart and mind of a man
than that deep love for his fellow
man ... The importance of men
as creatures of God is the dyna
mic force which energizes some
men’s souls with a kind of high
voltage of grace, making them
blood hounds of charity ...'
The men and women sent to
care for their fellow men and car
ry the message of love. The Eski
mo of the Arctic tundra, the Indi
ans of the great McKenzie basin,
the small son of a Hudson Bay’s
Company manager, the wild man
of Borneo, the lowest derelict on
Skid Row, you and I —we are all
important to our Creator, and He
cares. And when a man or woman
is fired by this God-given grace to
care for his fellow man, that man
or woman is indeed a missionary.”
This quotation from ‘Arctic
Wings’ sets forth the dominating
motive of the life of every mission
ary; the book by Father Leising
gives an account of his experiences
and adventures in the Far North,
encompassing what is perhaps the
most interesting, period of devel
opment in that region. During the
past nineteen years, the lives of
both missionaries and natives have
changed immensely, especially in
those areas where the discovery of
uranium has opened up this deso
late country to industry and pro
gress. The remoter places have al
so experienced the great change
brought about by air travel; sup
plies of fresh food and materials
for building may be brought to
them more frequently and quickly,
while the sick and injured are
flown out to hospitals which were
previously inaccessible.
The acquistion of a plane for his
own use has enabled Father Leis
ing to make more frequent visits to
the mission outposts; he has flown
countless mercy missions, and has
cooperated with the Government
by penetrating into places where
their own larger planes could not
go. His account of life in the Ar
tie, written after nineteen years
spent among the Eskimos air
Indians, is clearly a labor of lov ,
for he has grown into this wilder
nss until it has .become truiy his
home, and the people have become
his own.
He does not confine his work
-entirely to the labors of the Ob
late Fathers, '<>f which Congrega
tion he is V member, but givbs an
excellent—sometimes indeed, a
stark picture of the lievs and eco
nomic condition of the people.
The work of the Grey Nuns of
Montreal Is dealt with. For over
ninety years these Sisters have
worked with the Oblate Fathers
in building schools and hospitals
in that desolate area. Most inter
esting is the account of the mov
ing of the entire town of Aklavik
to the new site of Inuvik, just two
months ago, where a new 25 room
school and a large hospital await
ed the Sisters. This is the center
of the new mining area which is
growing rapidly into a city of
proportions.
Hunger, cold, blinding snow
storms, the hurried building of
snow houses to wait out a storm,
all in 50 degrees below zero
weather, are a few of the grimmer
experiences to offset the idea of
many who see only the idyllic
picture of well-disciplined dogs
trotting over smooth ice. Yet the
men and women who brave the
rigors of these most difficult re
gions seem to fear none of the
privations or hardships. The Eski
mos live a had life; they know how
to suffer, yet they are the happiest
people in the world.. Their wants
are few, their faith is a wonderful,
___
shining thing that brings light tw
* aves and gives meaning to
:.i . sical deprivations,
fat he. Leising has included a
a nuitt.it of his own photographs
to add to the interest of his book.
The front and back end papers
show a map of the district about
which he writes.
