SCHULTZ. \ \ 'I The Manitouan. 2(): \ observance have t(t bo scrupulously observed in all parts of the province, by all classes and sects until The Sabbath morn its Holy Cahii Breathes o'er the prairie lands, And the answerintf heart hears Nature's psalm. And the wild woods clap their hands. There is an entire separation of church and state. Each church has to be maintained, as in other parts of the American continent, by voluntary contributions. "But," as a recent writer has said " the result has shown that to be deprived of Government (support is no great loss for a church. Every part of America has demon- strated that the sympathies and en- ergies of a church are more deveh^ped, and its more intelligent and careful management secured, when the peo])le support their own clergy by individ- ual contributions." In no part of America are the various relig' >us or- ganizations more energetic than in this prairie land. All parts of the province are well supplied with chap- els and services by all the letiding denominations of the Christian chui ch. In fact the great problem to be solved today is, not how to supply the people with services, but rather how to consolidate and harmonize the various sectarian prejudices of the people as to render fewer churches necessary. In a sparsely settled coun- try like ihis, if the inhabitants of a district divide up into denominations, as is often the case, each church has but a small attendance of worshippers, whereas if all were united there would he one congregation sufficiently lai'go to give the preacher some encourage- ment to preach the word with power. This difficulty is avoided in many cases by an arrangement between the different churches whereby the serv- ices of the diff'erent denominations in a locality are held at different hours. Again the Sunday schools, which are general throughout the country, are fre((uently union schools, wlu're chil- dren of Cvhristian parents of all creeds attend the one Sunday school. TJius with ample and free provision for the education of its inhabitants the province can with safety allow abso- lute liberty of con.science tt) its people. Nor h"cils the sctjiticr's punv liands While near he^>lc■hools tlie chnroliHpiru stands; Nor fears tl\t' hlindi-d liiffot's rule While near her (tlmroh-spire stands the school. Here a man-may build and furnish his home in accordance with his means and taste.s. All kinds of bHiltling materials are easily [)rocure<l at a reasonable price, and all forms of furnishings necessary or desired for the comforts of life are readily ob- tained. In all parts of the province all modern convenience;, are accessi])le. Railways traverse all parts of tlie country and railway stations arci placed at all convenient points. There are in the province over two hundred stations, around which cluster small towns and villages. There are nlso in the province over six hundred post offices, served daily, tri-weekly, or f-emi-weekly with mails, thus sup- plying the settlers in the remotest districts with the news oi: the world, and giving ready communication with friends in the ol<l land. Not only is the railway and mail service complete, but the telegraph service, in all parts, is also complete, while the cities and towns are all sup- plied with electric lights, telephones, and other modern "onvenienceh. No matter how spai ^ely .settled a district may be, the pc )ple in it are supplied with all the conveniences w'mcIi are to be met with in any part of the old settlements in the East. It is true that at times people emigrat- ing from large centres of population and thickly settled districts miss the social intercour.se they have enjoyed in their old homes, but yet they have here the blessed privilege of cultivating and enjoying to its \ 200 The Manitouan. Jaa^ \ V-' l^ fullest oxt(!iit that sweet homo lii'e which is iiicoinpariiltly hctter tliaii formal Sueial life as it is usually fouu'J. Those who enjoy the society of great minds bsm tiii<l ahuxulance of time during the If^ng winter evenings to hold converse w^itli all the gloi'ious writers and fatheri, In the quiet of their homes, surrounded hy their families, tluy can tinjoy the pleasure of i-eading to its/ fullest extent, or tliey can while dway the time in social parlor gameK ov other forms of amusement. Toi those of a more active natur^ thejwinter season affords ample opportunijSy for winter sports. Curling, hockeyi^ig, skating, toboggan- ing, football, snowshoeing, sleigh- riding and varidus other sports will furnish them wiw» healthful exercise and innocent amuseinent. In summer again tTiisIs the student of nature's paradise. Here] the bot- anist, the astronomer and the natura- list will find ample opport^iiities for their favorite studies. In myriads o'er the prairie Bright flowers bloom strnnifely /air ; There's beauty in the clear blue/Sky, There's sweetness in the air ; / And loveliness with lavish haiicl Decks dell and dingle uay. ' Strange birds in painted plujliajfe gay In hundreds haunt the erpve ; O'er marsh and moor ; the foon and heron The coot and plover rovrf. The clear Assiniboine win^ts free Through many a fertile Vale ; The antlered deer and ((ro^eful hind Bound o'er the wooded dale. Though the buffalo no longer roves the plains, liaving disappeared with the red-man on the approach of the whites, Manitoba is still the sports- man's home. Here he can find moose, elk, jumping deer, antelope, bears, wolves, foxes, rabbits and badgers with which to indulge his desire for sport. Fox hunts of the old .style is a favorite pastime in many places. The rivers, ponds, lakes and ])rairie abound with an almo.st unlimited quantity of wild fowl, such as ducks, geese, swans, snipci, pigeons, partrid- ges, pheasants and turkeys. The angler will find our rivers and lalyes well supplied with sturgeon, pickerol,4»iiss, perch, goldeye and carp. The loVers of anmscments and sports are^supplied with a complete change in summer from the sports practiced dnring the winter months. On the amiroach of warm weather the basebjill replaces the football ; the old Enfflish game of cricket makes its appearali^ce once more and the national gaihe of lacrosse revives. Those who enjoy a less vigorous form of exercise find their reC?'cation in a game of tennis or in a .short I'ow upon some river or lakelet, ^hile bicycling and horseback riding are common forms of amusement and recreation for both ladies and gentlemen. " These are tliy charms, sweet province ! sports like these With sweet succession teach e'en toil ib please." Such being the advai^tages offered by this praiiie provihce the emi- grant's song in all lands should be : — We cross the prairie as of old ( Jhc pil),'rims crossed the sea>: To make the west, as they the ettst ^ The homestead of the free ! We're flowing from our native hills As our free rivers flow : The blessing of our motherland Is on us as we go. We go to plant our common schools On distant prairie swells, And give the Sabbaths of the wild The music of her bells. D. W. McKercuar, M.A. * LIEUT.-OOV. 8CHULTZ. WE publish with this issue the portrait of our respected Lieut. Governor, HonoiabJe John Christian Schultz, taken in the uniform which the Secretary of State for the Colo- nies prescribes for the Provincial Lieu- tenants of His Excellency the Gover- nor General. Although born in Ontario, His Honor is claimed as a Manitoban by the old residents who remember his coining hero in 18G0, while yet a beardless medical student, and his close identification with the interests of the then colony and his urgent ad- ' See frontispiece. -^ The MANiTf^AN. 207 -^ 'er- ns a his ists ad- vocacy of the union of all the pro- vinces, and of our union with federa- ted Canada, endeared hini to the settlers and afterwards won for him the Confederation medal. The manly course pursued by him in Kiel's first rehellion and the gallant attempt made by the little band of Canadians to defend Dominion Gov- ernment property, and to uphold the British flag after it had been hauled down by the insurgents, resulting finally in the treacherous capture of the little band and the long incarcera- tion in Fort Garry, the escape of Dr. Schultzand thennirder of Scott, form now a lurid page in Canadian history. On the restoration by Loivl Wolse- ley of British rule, in Augu.st, 1S70, and the division of the province into electoral divisions, Dr. ISchultz was chosen as Lisgar's representative, which division he continued to repre- sent until his elevation to the Senate in 1882. During this period his in- timate acquaintance with the condi- tion and wants of the new province enabled him to take a prominent part in all discussions relating to the Indians and native settlers, and the Eastern immigrants now fast coining in. Always a Conservative, he alone from Manitoba was sent back after the downfall of the Macdonald government to support that part}' in Parliament, which he continued to do till 1882, when, although nominated to the Senate, he still op- posed in Lisgar Mr. A. W. Ross, who was contesting that county as a pro- fessed Liberal, receiving the support of the Reform party. Failing health in 1882 caused an absence of nearly four years and a half from the pro- vince ; and although ph3'sically unal ile to be as active in the Senate as he had been in the House of Coinmons, he yet was able to do work for this country and the north land which was esteemed of much importance by his colleagues and added very much to the knowledge possessed of the more remote Northwest. He has always taken a keen inter- est in the development of the province of his adoption, his voice and pen being always used in its interests, and ginioral recognition of his long serv- ices to Manitoba, the Northwest and the Doniirnon, procured his appoint- ment to the highe.st position under the Crown in his native province in 1888. Lieutenant-Goveraor Schultz, be- fore his governorship, took a most important part in many enterpi'ises tending to the development of the country. He was a projector of some of the earlier Manitoba I'ail- ways, an active mend)er of the early medical and hospital associations, and was one of the fii\st wardens of the first Anglican church built in Winni- peg, (Holy Ti'init}'). He is an exten- sive land-owner throughout the pro- vince, and has contributed to the im- provement of the city by extensive building operations. He had the honor of proposing the prtisent name of the city at an early village meet- ing held to decide that (piestion, and h a life-mendttn* of our Historical Society and a Fellow of the Imperial Institute. His appointment as Lieutenant-Governor, ])rove(l a very popular one. and was endorsed by all classes; and(!overnment House withits gracious hostess became and has con- tinued very popular indeed. Alth(mgh spirituous liquor has, as in the case of the preceding Governor, been banish- ed, 3'et the state and other dinners, balls, nnisicales and gar<len parties have not suffered in interest or enjoy- ment. We hope in a future nundjer to publish the portrait of Mrs. Sehultz, who has done .so nmch to make Gov- ernment House so popular, and whose ready .sympathy with and aid to all works of charity are .so well known. 163722
