Centennial Mystery:- A large Bible
dated 1870 was left with All Saints
Community Church hy someone who wished
to remain anonymous. Beautiful] ly
bound in leather with raised decor-
ation and heavy brass clasps, this
was at one time a treasured familv
possession. The fly-leaf and
section between Testaments where
the family tree once was recorded
are missing, however.

As antique Bibles go, this is
relatively modern, but it is a
reminder of one hundred years of
family faith in this Centennial
Year. All Saints' Church is
pleased to be thus reminded and
hopes that there will be as suit-
able a symbol for Cassiar in A.D.
