Download or read book Silk Stocking Mats written by Paula Laverty and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2005 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning in 1928, the Grenfell Mission sent out a call to socialites: "When your stockings run, let them run to Labrador!" The creative recycling of tattered stockings, dyed in soft hues, is just one of many innovations that made Grenfell hooked mats highly collectible folk art. In Silk Stocking Mats, Paula Laverty chronicles the development of a local craft into an art form. For generations Newfoundland women had augmented their family's unreliable fishing income with a "matting season" in February and March. Through the Grenfell Mission's Industrial Department, set up in 1909 to help develop cottage industries, the mat industry became an increasingly important source of income reaching peak production in the late 1920s and early 1930s when the women's mats became renowned for their strong design, meticulous craftsmanship, and distinctive northern images chronicling life in the north. Reindeer, sled dog teams, polar bears, schooners, outports, and florals are but a few of the mat designs.Silk Stocking Mats is the result of over seventeen years of exhaustive research and draws on personal interviews with older women who recall their hooking days, the study of hundreds of archival documents, and careful examination of countless Grenfell hooked mats. Laverty's book is beautifully illustrated with photographs and descriptions including rare and unusual as well as common mat designs.

Download or read book C T Studd written by Norman Grubb and published by The Lutterworth Press. This book was released on 2014-12-25 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nurtured in the lap of comfort, educated at Eton and Cambridge, the hero of the British sport-loving public, C. T. Studd, whose Cambridge career has been described as "one long blaze of cricketing glory", created a stir in the secular world of his youth by renouncing wealth and position to follow Christ. He was captain of the Eton XI in 1879, and of Cambridge University in 1883, being accorded in the latter year (vide The Cricketing Annual) "the premier position as an all-round cricketer for the second year in succession". The illness of a brother brought him face to face with realities and the transitoriness of worldly riches and fame. He obeyed the divine command, "Go thy way, sell what thou hast and give to the poor ... take up thy cross and follow me", throwing himself into the work which had called him with the same thoroughness and earnestness with which he had learned to "play a straight bat". Henceforward his life was dedicated to the service of God and his fellow men, and the story of his labours and adventures makes an epic of faith and courage against great odds that will be an inspiration to all who rejoice in a tale of high endeavour.

Download or read book Snapshots of Grenfell and Grenfell s Monologue on the Ice Pan written by Irving Letto and published by . This book was released on 2012-07 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Snapshots of Grenfell is a two-part book. Part I is a tribute to the life and work of Wilfred Grenfell by a close friend and co-worker, J. T. Richards. Richards first met Grenfell in 1892, on the Labrador Coast, and was captivated by his energy, spirituality and desire to serve the poor. Grenfell was a medical doctor and missionary of the Mission to Deep Sea Fishers, and quickly established a relationship with the people and built the Grenfell Mission that continues to exist today, The International Grenfell Association. Richards' tribute was written a few months after Grenfell's death on October 9, 1940. Part II is a long poem by Richards, written just after hearing from Grenfell the story of his narrow escape in 1908, when he was trapped overnight on an ice pan in Northern Newfoundland. Grenfell's Monologue on the Ice Pan is written in free verse, in which the author imagines Grenfell musing about the meaning of life and courageously overcoming the odds of survival. The book was first published in 1989 with an introduction by Irving Letto, who having found a handwritten copy of the poem, has incorporated it, with notes, into this new edition.
