NOVEL HOUSES OF WORSHIP
One Missionary to Eskimos Made Use
Of SeaIskins and Another En-
pIoyed Only Snow.

One of the Queerest churches ever
known was built by missionary on
Blackhead island, In Cumberland
sound. Finding that the Eskimos had
no place in which they could meet
for religious services, the missionary
started to build church Of the skins
Of seals, no wood being available. The
skins were sewn together and
stretched over "glrders" Of whalebone,
empty provision tins serving as seats.
The cold at one time became so
severe that for many days the Eski-
mos Of Blacklead island were unable
to procure food for themselves or for
their animals. One night dogs made
their way to the strange church edi-
fee and began consuming it, with the
result that when morning came there
was not skin left, the whalebOne
ribs alone remaining to show that
there had ever been a church.
Another missionary In charge of the
spiritual welfare of the Eskimo tribe
built his church entirely of snow
Seat, pulpit, altar and interior equip
ment were made Of snow, and in the
matter of warmth no stOne-bullt
church could beat It,
