Text transcribed from caption: #826 RELIGION ON THE MOVE Shifting populations throughout the United States and Canada during the war years have made churchmen transportation conscious, and as a result they have turned to many different conveyances to bring God’s work to their flocks. Father Serson of the Cowley Fathers, a religious order of the Anglican Church, serves 30 missions in Ontario, Canada, on horseback. He is an accomplished barber and carpenter, as well as horseman.
