The Life of Lucy M. Baker CHAPTER I. EARLY YEARS Onward, onward will we press Through the path of duty; Virtue is true happiness; Excellence true beauty; Minds are of supernal birth, Let us make a heaven of earth URING a visit to Winnipeg a few years ago, while out for a drive, a gentleman of the party, an old timer, remarked to the writer, on reaching a point about three miles west of the city, This is the spot where the Nisbets en camped the first night of their journey to start mission work amongst the I ndians. What a change to-day! Part of what was then an almost impassable trail is now Portage A venue. This leading thoroughfare to the west, following the Assiniboine river, is not only well settled on each side, but is paved for miles out of the city, having on it a fine line of trolley cars. That exodus of the Nisbets and party was in 1866. How well we older women remember the date, and with what interest we read of and followed this great venture of our pioneer woman missionary, Lucy Margaret Baker, into the almost unknown regions of the Great Lone Land. As we write our missionarys name it seems so approp riate, and almost prophetically chosen, Lucy, a light; Margaret, a pearl. A light bearer she certainly was, not only to the poor benighted pagans, amongst whom she sojourned so long, and whose sad condition called forth her deepest sympathy and most practical help, but also to all who knew her life of joyful, loving sacrifice. And she was a pearl amongst the King sdaughters; such a jewel as, with out doubt, now adorns the crown of Him whom she rejoiced to serve.
