APPENDIX B 

 SPIRITUAL AGENCIES IN LABRADOR, 



SINCE JULY, 1892, AT WHICH TIME WE ARRIVED 

 ON THE COAST 



r T^HERE is a Wesleyan missionary fifty miles west 



-L of Battle, at Red Bay. To visit all round his 



circuit and return must involve 250 to 300 miles' 



travelling. It must be remembered all this visiting 



is done in a small open boat in summer, at great risk 



'in so dangerous a place as the Straits of Belle Isle; 



and in winter over the ice with a komatik and team 



of dogs. The Rev. J. Sidey was there three years, 



and is now replaced by Rev. J. Antle. 1 



At Battle Harbour, as is well known to our readers, 

 there is a wooden church, but it has been in charge 

 of a young teacher and lay reader since we have 

 been on the coast. 



At Cartwright, thirty miles up Sandwich Bay, is 

 another wooden church and schoolroom combined. 

 Here also is a lay reader and schoolmaster. This 

 would be about 150 miles up the coast from Battle 

 Harbour. The sphere of work does not, I think, 

 extend at all outside Sandwich Bay. 



1 These Wesleyan missionaries are supported by the Methodist Church 



of Canada.
