The Calendar John Horden (1828-1893), Missionary Bishop John Horden, the first bishop of Moosonee, is commemorated on January 12 th. That may have been a month ago, but I am writing this in Moose Factory, so he is close to mind. Horden was born and brought up in Exeter, southwest England, and determined his vocation for missionary work while still a boy. He apprenticed as a blacksmith, but studied Latin and Greek in his spare time, becoming a schoolmaster. In 1850 he offered himself to the Church Missionary Society, and on 10 th May 1851 he was asked to go to Moose Factory, following an appeal by the Hudson s Bay Company to the CMS. He was asked to take a wife with him too, so two weeks later he married Elizabeth Oke, and on the 8 th June they embarked for James Bay. For the next 40 years he lived in Moose Factory, travelling all around the Bay, and establishing schools and churches in partnership with other missionaries. His great contributions were translations of the scriptures, hymns and the Book of Common Prayer into Cree and Ojibwa, and he compiled the first Cree grammar. He started to learn Cree on the passage out, and within a year had great competence and fluency in the language. He also spoke Inuktitut and Chipewyan. In 1853 he received a printing press (without operating instructions), because English printers of his translations had no ability to proof-read their work, and decided he had better do the printing himself. He considered both Indigenous and settlers to be his people, and learned Norwegian to speak with a number of people then working locally for the HBC. The Bay built the church (St Thomas, after his church in Exeter) at Moose Factory. In 1872 he was consecrated the first Bishop of Moosonee, a diocese that then extended around the shores of Hudson Bay. He held his See for 20 years, although in 1882 Elizabeth remained in England after a furlough. The CMS wanted him to establish a church with native leadership quickly, but Horden was not as hasty, because of the reluctance he perceived in most Europeans to take Indigenous leaders seriously and the financial importance for a missionary diocese of solid connections with England. He did appoint Thomas Vincent, a Métis, as his Archdeacon, but Thomas was passed over as his successor. Horden died at Moose Factory, and is buried here next to one of his daughters. He was greatly loved and respected. His is the first Canadian memorial of our year. Currently the Anglican Church in Moose Factory is looked after by Rev Norm Westley, a priest and member of the Moose Cree First Nation.

The Gospel The Holy Gospel is written in the fifth chapter of the Gospel according to Saint Matthew beginning at the 21st verse. (BCP) Glory be to thee, O Lord. (BCP) The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew. (BAS) Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ. (BAS) Jesus said, "You have heard that it was said to those of ancient times, 'You shall not murder'; and 'whoever murders shall be liable to judgement.' But I say to you that if you are angry with a brother or sister, you will be liable to judgement; and if you insult a brother or sister, you will be liable to the council; and if you say, 'You fool,' you will be liable to the hell of fire. So when you are offering your gift at the altar, if you remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother or sister, and then come and offer your gift. Come to terms quickly with your accuser while you are on the way to court with him, or your accuser may hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you will be thrown into prison. Truly I tell you, you will never get out until you have paid the last penny. You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery.' But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away; it is better for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away; it is better for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body to go into hell. Again, you have heard that it was said to those of ancient times, 'You shall not swear falsely, but carry out the vows you have made to the Lord.' But I say to you, Do not swear at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. Let your word be 'Yes, Yes' or 'No, No'; anything more than this comes from the evil one." (Matthew 5:21-30, 33-37) The Gospel of Christ. Praise be to thee, O Christ. (BCP) Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. (BAS) 4 9 9
A Reading from the First Letter of Paul to the Corinthians And so, brothers and sisters, I could not speak to you as spiritual people, but rather as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ. I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for solid food. Even now you are still not ready, for you are still of the flesh. For as long as there is jealousy and quarrelling among you, are you not of the flesh, and behaving according to human inclinations? For when one says, "I belong to Paul," and another, "I belong to Apollos," are you not merely human? What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you came to believe, as the Lord assigned to each. I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. The one who plants and the one who waters have a common purpose, and each will receive wages according to the labour of each. For we are God's servants, working together; you are God's field, God's building. (1 Corinthians 3:1-9) 8 Hear what the Spirit is saying to the church. Thanks be to God.

A Reading from the Book of Deuteronomy See, I have set before you today life and prosperity, death and adversity. If you obey the commandments of the Lord your God that I am commanding you today, by loving the Lord your God, walking in his ways, and observing his commandments, decrees, and ordinances, then you shall live and become numerous, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land that you are entering to possess. But if your heart turns away and you do not hear, but are led astray to bow down to other gods and serve them, I declare to you today that you shall perish; you shall not live long in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess. I call heaven and earth to witness against you today that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Choose life so that you and your descendants may live, loving the Lord your God, obeying him, and holding fast to him; for that means life to you and length of days, so that you may live in the land that the Lord swore to give to your ancestors, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. (Deuteronomy 30:15-20 ) Hear what the Spirit is saying to the church. Thanks be to God. Psalm 119:1-8 Refrain: Happy are they who walk in the law of the Lord. Happy are they whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of the Lord! Happy are they who observe his decrees and seek him with all their hearts! Refrain. Who never do any wrong, but always walk in his ways. You laid down your commandments, that we should fully keep them. Refrain. Oh, that my ways were made so direct that I might keep your statutes! Then I should not be put to shame, when I regard all your commandments. Refrain. I will thank you with an unfeigned heart, when I have learned your righteous judgements. I will keep your statutes; do not utterly forsake me. Refrain. 6 7
