THE HAMILTON SPECTATOR SATURDAY FEBRUARY 23, 1924
THE WORLD MISSION CONFERENCE
CONGREGATIONAL
The West Central African mission was established in 1880. Rev. Walter T. Currie, native of Toronto, was the first Canadian missionary. This work has grown into a large staff of preachers, teachers, doctors and industrial workers, with a splendid company of native workers. The Currie institute for training of native workers at Dondi is doing excellent work preparing the natives to evangelize their own people. The Means schools for the higher education of girls are lifting the women of West Central Africa to the high ideals of Christian home-making. Manual training schools are fitting the men for builders in their own land. Every school and every trade shop is a center of evanglism. The doctors and nurses minister to scores daily. Every treatment given by a missionary doctor is a sermon. The women of the Canadian Congregational churches loyally and liberally support this mission. At Guelph, on January 11, of this year, Miss Sibyl Grutchfield Hosking, registered nurse, graduate of the Hamilton general hospital, was commissioned as a missionary of the Canada Congregational woman's board of missions to work in Angola, West Central Africa.

1.
I figure there was a speech in the conference, and that the information in this item about the African mission was taken from that speech. If I were Sibyl, a trained and experienced nurse, and I learned that the aim of the mission for African girls was to lift them to the high ideals of Christian home-making, I would be thinking twice about my decision to become a missionary, but Sibyl's faith was very important to her.
2.
The West Central African mission was established in 1880. Rev. Walter T. Currie, native of Toronto, was the first Canadian missionary.
I think Dr. Currie was the first Canadian Congregational missionary to West Central Africa, rather than first Canadian missionary altogether, or the first Canadian missionary, or the first Canadian Congregational missionary, or some other arrangement of the words. He later gets a mention in a letter home from Sibyl:
