BIG AREA COVERED
BY CIRCUIT RIDER
Rev. A. E. Kristjansson Tells
Unitarian Conference About
Frontier Work.

When Rev Albert L. kristjansson
sets out for church of Sunday
morning he bitches his horse to q
sleigh and drives anywhere from
20 lis miles in the snow. and when
wants to move he carries his house
with him.
This modern circuit rider told about
his work on the northern frontier OF
Manitoba at the biennial conference
of the American Unitarian Associa-
ton, which met here last week. Son
of the Vikings, he ministers to the
spiritual welfare of 10000 Icelanders
who have settled in that part OF
Canada.
Moved House 3 Miles.
Mr.. Krist jansson went to Manitoba
II years ago. He arrived on a
bright. sunshiny May day. picked out
house on a deserted homestead,
hitched 10 teams of oxen to it and
moved it 3 miles to the spot he had
picked out for his homestead When
he went to bed that night the wealth
er was balmy. He woke up the next
morning half buried in snowdrift
and spent the better part of that day
digging out wood for the stove he
hadn't bothered to light.
He has organized many Unitarian
churches in his section, which is be-
tween Lake Manitoba and Lake
Winnipeg. He is pastor of four at
the present time. In addition he
covers a territory of about $4,000
square miles on special missions.
Mr.. Kristjansson's business is on
the frontier. When the frontier moves
he moves with It. Several years ago
he hitched up all the oxen he could
borrow and slid his house 13 miles
northward.
There are about 10000 Icelanders
I'm this part of Canada, he says-one-
tenth of the population Of the mother
country. They are liberal minded
and take TO liberal religions, he says.
Most of them came to Manitoba about
80 years ago, when the country was
just opening UP.

Chartreuse Crystal and
Pearls in Long Strands

Pearls continue to enjoy an I'M
precedented vogue, and, strange as
it may seem, have lost none of their
lure, as is usually the result of such
circumstances. In order to CORE
spond fully with the mode, chartreuse
crystal is combined with them in
long rope strands, short necklaces and
the fiat collar effects. Some of the
open necklaces have graduated drops
of the chartreuse crystal, others just
tiny alternating ringlets. Earrings
and bracelets combine the two in
many new and attractive designs One
especially striking set consisting of
earrings and bracelets Is composed Of
large faceted crystals. The earrings
are of the button type and are sur
rounded with rim of seed pearls.
Seed pearls also compose the brace
