Baldur Churches Grow With District
Settlement
ST. MARK'S, BALDUR By Rev. Edw. A. Syme
As far as can be ascertained from local records the history of the
Anglican Church in Baldur dates back to the year 1888, when His Grace,
Archbishop Machray, of Rupertland, licensed the Rev. W. L. Cheney to
the parish of Glenboro and Baldur. Services were conducted in various
homes and building in the village for a period ot ten years. It was in
1898, with Rev. W. E. Hobbs as rector, that the congregallon, stirred
with the enthusiasm ol such men as Messrs. T. E. Poole, P. F. Curtis,
J. Ovenden, and C. A. Hamilton, decided to build a church. The building
was completed the same year, and consecrated in the name of St. Mark.
After the Great War the church was greatly improved by certain
structural alterations and with the installation of new furniture
within the chancel and sanctuary. It was on Whitsunday, 1923, that an
oak altar was dedicated "To the Glory of God, and in memory of Charles
Frederick Stevens, of this parish; and others of this district, who
died in action, 1914-1918." The two sanctuary chairs were dedicated at
the same service.
A new pulpit, lectern, prayer-desk, and altar-rail were added, and as
the result of the efforts of the G.A. under the presidency of Miss Rose
Hamilton, together with the inspiring and de- voted leadership of Nurse
Robinson, a beautiful stained glass window was built into the east,
end, and dedicated in August, 1934.
Naturally, in the passage of fifty- two years, a long list of clergy
together with many laymen and women have made valuable contribution to
the life and work of the church in this corner of God's Vineyard. Space
does not, of course, permit the naming of many, and it is hoped that
the naming of some will not cause offence to others.
Among the clergy there is one name outstanding as far as ecclesiastical
honours are concerned. The Rt. Rev. A. H. Sovereign, Lord Bishop of the
diocese of Athabaska, will be remembered by some as the young divinity
student who was in charge of the services in Baldur during the summer
of 1905. Perhaps the most beloved among the clergy is the Rev. Canon
Nelson C. Smith. He, more than any other was known as one of God's
Gentlemen; a loyal friend, and a faithful administrator of all that God
had committed to his keeping.
There have always been a goodly number of laymen taking a keen and
lively interest in the life and work the church in Baldur. One who has
been active with St. Mark's since 1892 and is still quite active in all
the undertakings of the church, is Mr. Edward Groves. Other laymen who
have been outstanding through the years are Messrs. T. E. Poole. P. F.
Curtis, J. Ovenden, C. A Hamilton, S. Cooper, F, Stevens, H.L. C. Wait,
R. S. Hodge, Mr. Bailey, W. Bray, G. M. Beech, and G. Turrell.
