Please note: the rights and duties around wills vary significantly from province to province. If you are looking for this information for a province other than Saskatchewan, please contact NNELS support.

Writing your Will may be one of the most important things you'll ever do. A properly drafted Will can help ensure that your property is divided the way you intended and benefits the people you intended.

This booklet describes what a Will is and the important points to remember when making a Will. It also explains the duties and responsibilities of the people appointed to look after your property when you die.

The law regarding Wills and Estates is described here in general terms. This is not meant to be a legal authority on the subject, nor a self help kit on making a Will or distributing an estate. For specific legal advice you should consult a lawyer and may also require advice from other professionals, such as an accountant or other estate planner.

It is under a deep impression that the place and power of prayer in the Christian life is too little understood, that this book has been written. I feel sure that as long as we look on prayer chiefly as the means of maintaining our own Christian life, we shall not know fully what it is meant to be. But when we learn to regard it as the highest part of the work entrusted to us, the root and strength of all other work, we shall see that there is nothing that we so need to study and practise as the art of praying aright.

The story of a lady who appoints herself as a housemaid when the family, headed by Philosophy Professor Paul Ward, is in financial crisis. She makes herself indispensable, immediately. The tale takes place in northern Indiana, much in Waterloo, Indiana, and mentions early the midsummer of 1916 and before the final page, the Wall Street Crash of 1929.

Tom, an ill-treated chimney-boy, jumps into a cool stream to clean the soot off himself, and becomes a water baby, cleaner and happier than he has ever been, in a fairy world under river and sea. Meeting beautiful and frightening creatures, Tom travels to the Other-End-of-Nowhere on an unforgettable voyage of discovery.

This essay was presented as a lecture by Thoreau in his later years, but only published after his death. It's best known for its quote "In wildness is the preservation of the world", which has become a rallying cry of the environmental movement. But Thoreau means much more by the phrase then most of his modern admirers realise. "Wildness" is Nature itself, and humankind is seen as an aspect or manifestation of Nature; the rules that apply to one apply to the other.

Varney the Vampire; or, the Feast of Blood was a Victorian era serialized gothic horror story by Thomas Preskett Prest (alternatively attributed to James Malcolm Rymer). It first appeared in 1845–47 as a series of cheap pamphlets of the kind then known as "penny dreadfuls". The story was published in book form in 1847. It is of epic length: the original edition ran to 876 double-columned pages divided into 220 chapters. Altogether it totals nearly 667,000 words. Despite its inconsistencies, Varney the Vampire is more or less a cohesive whole. It introduced many of the tropes present in vampire fiction recognizable to modern audiences to this day.
