Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Pioneering in Western Canada A Story of the Baptists; by Rev. C. C. McLaurin D. D., over Forty-Two Years Associated with Baptist Missions in Western Canada, a Superintendent Twenty-Five Years; author of "My Old Home Church"; Published by the author, Calgary, 1939. Printed in Canada: The Armac Press Limited, Toronto. Dedicated to the noble band of Baptist Home Missionaries of the four Western Provinces, who in the English, German, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Hungarian, Czecho-Slovakian, Russian, Ukrainian and Cree languages have carried their message everywhere throughout the Provinces, enduring the hardships of Pioneer life, letting neither inclement weather nor wellnigh impassable trails hinder them from keeping their appointments at distant points, and who have occupied the most important place and have done the most effective work of all sharing in this great enterprise, and to the small churches which have co-operated with the missionaries in sending the Light of the Gospel into the surrounding darkness from their isolated positions. From the Foreword, by Watson Kirkconnell The work of the Baptist Church in Western Canada is sixty-six years old, if one reckons from the advent of Pioneer MacDonald in Winnipeg in May 1873. The present volume seeks to preserve the record of the denomination's growth through the years, as from a grain of mustard seed to a great tree in whose branches the fowls of the air may lodge a growth from a single Baptist home in 1873 to nearly five hundred churches and preaching stations in 1939. The volume contains over 100 photographs. This book, 401 pages, is in fine condition. The dust jacket, that is a wrap-around map showing towns that have a Baptist church, is in very good condition, and is enclosed in a protective mylar wrap. The book has the ownership signatures of two previous owners including Rev. F. F. Bennett, Ottawa. The covers of this book are as bright as on the day they were created. A beautiful copy of a very scarce, community history of Western Canada.
