by Marsden Inglis In early 1940's Lumby had a Sunday School by Post. A Ford one ton truck had been built to accommodate sleeping, cooking and eating (a primitive type of motor home) and would come to Lumby and area to give one Sunday School lesson. They would leave the children a pamphlet for the next Sunday and the following lesson would arrive by mail. This was provided by the Anglican Church and one year the driver was Miss Southwell -Sounders and the teacher was Miss Wordsworth, a great niece of the poet William Wordsworth. She was also a survivor of the sinking of the Titanic as well as being a missionary in China for twenty years before coming to Canada. |
