212 THE MITRE

This movement was initiated by OUr Alumni Editor, Rev II. F.

Hamilton, M. A., and was carriedon in these columns by letters

from representative men, who have a deep interest in the

welfare of the University and are in close, touch with outside

life. The discussion has been followed with a great deal of

interesL It has overflown to the lbcal press, 5and indirectly has’

been the meas of clearing misconceptions, and of bringing to the

notice, of the public the peculiar iidvantages of ‘Bishop’s. It has

borne fruit too in other ways. ‘,Plie Alumni Association have

taken the ‘matter up enthusiastically, atid have made a giant to

assist in sending a representative of the University through the

Eastern Townships during ‘ the sunimer vacation. Moreovei,

through the initiative and energy of’ Mr. Routh, an ‘illustrated

pamphlet describing life and work at Bishop’s College has been

isud, which puts in an’ attractjve form much, information that

that cannot necessarily be included in the Calendar, and we are

confident that it will be the meitns of influencing tñany to take

a Univrsity course at Bishop’s. Let the good work so well

begun’be öarried on, and letevery friend of the University heart-,

ily assist the efforts of those tvho have planned and who are spend-

• ing much time in carrying out the cainpaigim of advertisement.

It is with great’ regret that this Paper parts company

with the services of Mr A. J. Vibert, who tlii’ough two ‘ very

• trying years has ably and suècessfully managed the financial

end, paying off an old and burdensome debt and leaving m• small

balance on hand. The good wishes of The Mitre go with’ him in

his new sphere of duty, tnd may the same and even greater

success attend him’ on the Labrador coast. .We welcome Mr.‘Corey to the position ofBusines Manager and we are confident thathis earnestness and industry tvfll prove him a worthy successor.

• - The remarks of the Chancellor tt the Alumni Association.Dinner are: worthy of record as showing an appreciation ofThe Mitre that does much to encourage those responsible, for itspublication. It is not always’ we get words of praise, and wheimthey do come’they are apreciated. ‘ ‘But it is not, from thisaspect only thatthey are valued but because they show that this

.Paper is fulfilling to some extent he object ‘of, its founders in

binding closer, every alumnis to his “Alma Mater.”

GonvoGation sermon.

Pre’Lched by the Right Reverend Robert Codman, B B

Bishop of Maine, in the University Chapel on June 23rd, 1004.

S. Murk xtt:—xvti. -

“Anti Jesus said, Render unto Ctesar the things that are Cesar’s, and unto

God the things’that ai’o God’s.”

Christ has been preached for nineteen hundred years,

ills Spirit has called to His service millions and millions of soul

The ln;ngry have been fed, the thirsty have been given drink,

the strangers have been taken in, the naked have ‘been clothd

and the sick and those in prison have been visited. For these

nineteen hundred years this glorious work of helping humanity

has been going ori,’and the instrument in doing the work has

been:tbe consecrated personal service of those who love the

Be,ssed Master and seek to follow in His steps.

But Ia this’ our aged new agency is coming forward to

help humanity, tie social worker, gathering all works of’ mercy

and charity uhder one head, called soàial service and demanding

scientific tuetliods and trained workers in the field. I do not

mean the socialist who seeks to ;ri’ake all capital the property’ of

labour—rbut I mean the social worker, who has invented a new

bode of criminology ad seeks to ‘carry it out, making reform

ation instead of punishment the object of penal legislation—who

seeks to bring as’many rays of sunshine as : possible into the

lives of the insane,, the defective and the deformed—-who would

guide and’ guard.the. orphan and helpless children and make

them good. and useful citizens—who would improve tli? crowded

tenements and homes of the poor—who would administer charity

with careful foresight lest it do more harm than good. This

social worker has reutly cocne into special porninence., Social

work and social settlements are .the fad of the day, and social

service is now set up. us a new religion. Creeds. are forgotten,

worship is despised and seryice is procliimed as the true

Cliristiammity. .. The sectarian religions are losi.mmg their hold on

the popIe and those who used.to be their ádvocates.are turning

to social work. Our young men carried away with the interest.

and enthusiasm of the work a’e nob coming into the ministry of

• 214 THE-MITRE

the Qhurch, and to thousands service ‘is found more acceptable

than submission to creeds.Who is this social worker? Whence does lie come from

and whither would he lead us? I will try to answer thp

question scientifically.In Christianity mercy and charity are the work of the

Spirit of Jesüs’Christ dwelling in the -liemirts of ills disciples.

We can always know the Spirit of Jesus Like time Roman coin

it is’ stamped with the Master’s Image. It bears witness to• Him. Not only does the SpIrit’ of Jesus teach his disciples to love,

one another:añd love ourneighbuursas ourselves1 but it.does nOt

stop there. It confesses thmrt’Jesus,is, the Son of God, and leads

us to eternal life, to judgement and.to Heaven. We know the

Spirit of Jesus by this Image—the Image of faith, of rcpentmnce

as wlI as of social service.The social movement on the contrnr is the work of the

deveJopiñg social cOnsckusness, as each member of society,regardless of creed or Christianity, feels the social ob1iation touplift and improve his fellows. A natural and characteristicpart of the movement is the struggle to hreet these social obligations not only with the most efficient, methods bit so as to

• waste as little social energy as possible, that is to say, econtmically. The social movement bears an image other. than that ofChrist: It makes for social benefit and stops there. It does riotlook to. Jesus as £he Son of. God. It does; not consider, the

• judgement that follows death. It cares not for conditióiis in theworld to come. It bears the social image, the earthly welfare of -•

the rndivjducl members of society on this side of the grave Iti’a social moiement with a social cause to attain results of socialimprovement; What is characteristic of this new . movement- isnot the revival of chant) and humtn sympathy It is time

• grOwth of-the social interest in social improvements based upon.the sense of social ob.ligation. • -

, -:

We must place the social mnoetiient in is proper.category and call it by its true nanie Glorious and mnspim mug ait is, it is not a religion and our soci’tl enthusiasm m not religious

calling. for the same enthusiasm, the same devotion aiiI the

same self-sacrifice. It is the love, of country exprnded into the

love of humanity. It is undoubtedly the result of long years of

Christiaii training; it is the work of the Christian spirit educat

ing the social conscience through the individual conscience. “But

now that its power is felt in the social conscience, the social

movement is affecting Protestant and Romanist, Jew and Christ

ian, faithful’and faithless alike. Those are perhaps most sensitive

t it who have not, the spirit qf Jesus to take its place.

What is this social conscience? . “ . V

For many centuries the individual mar; has V been the..

object of careful, and critical study,—his ‘body,’his mind, his soul

and his spirit. More particularly is this true since the days. of

the ‘Reformation, beca;use that great movement laid such special

emphasis upon. indiidualism, individual rights, individual

• liberty and individual salvation. But in’our day a reaction has

set hi and the study of society has become a newt. science. We.’

‘are coining new ‘vord to express it.. Sociology is a new word,• ‘ •social conscience is more recel)t still and we are beginning to

hear of new responsibilities called social obligatioiis .

In this study of society we have uncovered a mighty’ force’

and power lieretofre unknown. It,is called the social conscience

for want of a better name. But it is not’ like, the individual

conscience the voice of God, the voice that necessarily, mukes for

righteousness. It is the voice of society that calls.for action. . It

speaks for var and it speaks for peace. It calls for justice and it

calls for charity. . Sometimes it is moved by fear, sometimes by

superstition and pteud;ce But it is the combined demand of

• tine cjnseiènCedf thu.e who Iad and con trl the rest, and through

thetñ it may be’ ethieated and inilueticed for good or for. ‘evil. It

• may be led into the.patlis of liottoum’ and charity ititt demand the

ulifting of humanity. It ‘may full amd go to sleep under the

influence, of thC eed mind the debauchery. of selfish . lenders: , It

may be Christianized and deirmand a . recognition of Christ. and

Hiss Church. ‘ It may be turned aside mind . educated on . ethical

lines and seek simply ‘the uplifting’, of society. It may. be

confined simply to’ a dennind for better scliool ‘and better

citizenship, 01 it may ill lot bettet prisoims, better poor —houses

216 . TllEMli’RE

better tenetne3its; better administration of charities and care of

those who lire helped. But thd’.seal of the sdcial tiiovement is

the sochtl conscience, and it will be ultimately jist •what the

social conscie;i’e de tntnds.- -‘ We all feel, and. we Liou1d feel, the call to social service.

It comes from the samesouree as the social conscience itud it

calls ith the same enthusiasm as the call to arms in defence of

the country. “Uplift lit;manity Give the poor of the crowded

cities fresh’ air. Teach the criminal self respect. Guard tle

innocence of youth. Raise,tVhe fallen girl. Nurse the sick poor

in their own hotnes.’.’ God bless the soáial movement!,

See what it has accomplished already. Mark the problems• which it has in hand, time name and the brains of its leaders. As

each’step is beingacco;nplishd .new vistas of socialbenefit open

beyond us.’ .Thefield.ofhutnanity is so licrge, s6 deep and so

needy. There is no .liniit. to what mtiay be’ tried and done. DreamsV

V

are coming true and dreams rule the, social world. Reformers V

• mire dreamers but none the less benefactors of mankind. Mistakes V --

V must. be made but the attempt, the effort is glorious. ‘ V

V

VV

VNow here comes the word efcaution. The instrumñent in

V

V all this s’ocial movement is and the emphasis is laid upon ‘

V personal service, consecrated service, service Iii the Master’s

name,service for suffering humnaiuity.’ It is a beautiful and

V

,piring thought, the vocation of a

consecratedlife ‘And in

V these days when sectarian divisions and competitidn have made’

mcii and women earyVof creeds, ,veary offormns of ‘worship,

weary of sermonB carelessly prepared, when the’ Church”is

wrapped uinV the ‘sleepy satisfaction of respectabilityand clergy V

seek salaries and good society, time weary minds ofthe V people

are turning away from’faith and worship and finding with a

• sense of relief all their religion in personal servicefor humunity.

Service withuut faith. ‘ $erviãe which meets the power of eyil

with the force of personal’ influence, totwILh1 prayer: Service

that seeks to carry out self-conàeived plans instead of looking to

the plan of the Divine Master. There is ditnger in the Social

thovementlest service be preferred to faith. ‘

I would lose ‘my appeal for social service with’ this’

warning. Protestantism began byV

rather than upon works or servic. Cn it be that Protestantism

is to end in oeial service without faith? I approve, heartily

approve of social service, I urge IL. But hold fast, to’ faith and

authority. The difficulty is that the conception nf faith has

been perverted, and it has been perverted by ‘another great

principle of Protestantism; rebellion against’ authority. The

Protestant bates authority. And in the struggle ta reconcile the

conception of faith with hatred of authority, an impossibleZrecon_

ciliation, both are being abandoned. A learned Protestant

teielier Sabateir, has written a book, ‘his last and greatest con

tribution to ProtesLant. thought, and perhaps the beginning of

the end of this struggle. . He, first destroys the idea of Roman

authority in argurnezkts with which we are all familiar. Then

with.qual vehemence Lie,does’ away with the authority of. the

Scriptures, and finally sets up anew authority which he claims

to have discovered,—thc ‘authoiity of self, of himself as inspired

• by. the Holy spirit. The controversy between authority and

faithis thus-destroyed. Authority has utterly surrendered.

But faith cannot be rconciled tvith hatrd of authority;

for faith is submission to authority, faith.is the surrender of self

Faith yields will, reason, affections, hopes’ and ambitions to a

Master, and then looks to the Master for service.. But in

modern Piotestari thm, wherein all hotion of authority is cast out,

conceptiM of faith seems to be the believing something which

- one cannot feel justified in believing. Against such faith men

and wocnen are turning away, because it seems inconsistent with

manhood, and are finding relief and religibn in social work, where

they do not tr to believe the impossible. Good, earnest,, self

sacrificing.souls, filled .with love, for., suffering lumanity, are

living without-the Church, ,its ‘creed -and saäraments, because

• they’ aññot bring themselves to believe in the miraculous ‘facts

of the Gospel. Unitarian, heretical, if you please, in mind, but

Christians and.Catholic, at heart because they have not been

•taught’the real, spiritual conception. of-,,faithas the complete

surrender of self to a personal Master. We would rather - be

wrong, intellectually wrong, superstitious and given ö , vahi

practices in what we take to be obedience to Jesus, than be right

and scientifically correct in, all our, methods and not obey- His

218 THE MiTRE

commands, setting up our own judgement against Hini. It is riot

the zeal for doing good, it is not interest and enthusiasm for the

welfare of otlrer that constitutes the essence of Christianity.

The Pharisee may be all that. The essence of Christianity is

not be1ievhgiñ particular facts, however true and important

such facts may be. The Pharisee believed all the miracles of

the Old Testacnent. But the essence of Christianity is the

surreiidr of elf, the hu;niliittion of self, the laying of self at the

• foot of the Cross of Jesus Christ and asking Him for the spirit of

• obedience, whether for social work, or for thesalvation of souls.

This is just what bowing down in worship mneans The publican

cries “Lord, have mercy upon me a sinner, and would not lift up

so much as his eyesto Heaven.” “One thing thou lackest’ says

Christ to the rich young man, “sell all that thou hust to give to

the poor”—that is nothing, if thou will come arid follow Me

as Master. .:

Valedictory.

Mr Chancellor, My Lords, Reverend Sirs, L’rdies and

Gentlemen: - •,.

• It is, at once, our pleasing and our pitinful duty to now

bid you farewell pleasing it is, inasmuch as tins class has now• turned, individually, the first post in he course ofJife which

each one of oui members has set himself to run; pmtifui:toa very-

considerable degree in that we must now separate, after three

years of comanio;ishij and give up forever the life of an•

Undergraduate. .. V

This means far more than disjunction frotn the field of

eletnentary letters. To all of irs it means a’ change in life,

formation of new ties, and the taking upon each one the •res

ponsib;Irties of life, which <tt pm csetrt loom irienacingly, to Immobt

of us it means a cutting-away from this spot of many memOries

and betieficial traditions, a leave-takhg, of unknôwn duration,of many perons whom w would heartily wish . to ;mioke our]ife long friends

- Dtmring our undergraduate life wehave beheld Iii ppellitmgs

in connection with our Alma Mater f inch i ‘ are Just]) 1rrond

TI-IE MITRE 219

Of these I need only mention the acceptance of a degree by His

Excellency, the Governor General, at last - Convöcation,—the

completion of the-well-deserved memorial to our late benefactor,

Dr. Robert Hamilton,—and also the attainment of our Univer

sity to its Golden Jubilee.

In connection with this Jubilee I would beg to oint out

the uniquc position of this class as the first graduating class ofthe Golden Age of: the U±iiversit of Bishop’s College.

I think, too; that tve well represent the breadth of research

allowed t)y the new system of courses holding in this University.

Of seven in the Class a number which we are informed is mystic

in its significance, as taken in totality, three have taken The

ology, one has taken Science, bne.Classics, one History and one

Philosophy and Law.’ In this connection, I would beg, to call

your attention to the grand results of the labours of one of our

nembers, he. iii addition to’his Arts course, coming out at the

head of the hut of applicants in the preliminary examination for the

degree of Bachelor of Divinity.

It will’ thu be seen that Theology. has drawn three of

our Class, while the remaining four have exercised individuality

and variety of taste in choosing froth the numerpus alternative

courses open to the Undergraduate in Bishop’s.

We, the members of this Class, have seen the viissitudes

of reside’ntial life, but we have also experienced the joys and

benefits of the system.--- We-have undergone an education, in the /

constant intercommunion of residential student life, an education

• that will but fit us well to cope with characters of diverse type

• in future life. •BiItwe have, through this residential life, gained

one beiiefit on whichi I.cannot lay too much stress,- namely the

privilege of knowing the individual members of the Faculty as-

- friends. Frieñas they have, one and all, been to us thro’ughout,

and I take thisopportunity to tender our united gratitude,

to them for so being. -‘

‘On behalf, then, of my Class, 1 now most regretfully bid

you all farewell.

220 THE MITRE

Pröceedins of GonvocationDay

• Convocation Day began titb a celebratioii of tb Holy

Communion at 730 a. in. The Lord Bishop of Quebec was the

ce1ebant and he was assisted by the Rev Principal Whitney

and D?. Allnatt. AtlO a: tn., a business meeting of Convocation

was held, and this.was followed at 11.30 by aVshort$ervice in the

Chapel, consisting of a hymn, the Bidding Prayer andthe Univer

sity $ermçn, preachedby the Right Rev. Robert Codmnan, D.. D.

Bishop of Maine, (published else’bvhere in this issu.)

The fifty-first Convocation of the University took place at

three o’clock in tie afternoon. Perhaps the feature of the

function was the conferring of hnormtry degrees on four men

tinguished in various fields of labor, three of whom were Mon

trealers, namely, Rev. P;incipal Rexford, of the Montreal Diocesan

Theological College, for his energy iii the interests of education

They wotila do well if. they profitted by. the, example of the

1past, and walked confidently where experience has shown where

the true path lay. Bishop’s College held a wide and càmprehen

sivo charter, nd they had’striven according to their means

• opportunities to develop on many sides. •Theolàgy had churned

• their closest and most peisistent attention and they had not fail

ed o justify tlier existence. If they would look around the

diocese, the great bulk of the clergy, having received their edu

cation within ‘these walls, did honor to their ‘Alma Mater. For

• more than thirty years tte’ Medical School had been sending a

constant stream of’ qualifled physicians o all jarts of the Doinin

ion, and iiot a few centres in the United States. He was safe in

saying that no class of prac;tioners stood higher in the public

estimation thair do the graduates of Bishop’s. The Thiw School at

present was in abeyance, owing to the distance from the great

centres of population, and of the impossibility of competing with

magnificent endowments and equipment of McGill University,

• Montreal. •rpY still retained the residential system in Arts,

and li had no hesitation in saying that this system of education

was unequalled in the province of Quebec. So far the Arts Facul-’.

Ly had ;idt had a fair opportunity of exhibiting its enormous

powers for ood upon the community. The Chânceflór made a

tc)uchiug ‘i’efeeñce to’ the late Canon ,J. H. Thompson and the

late Canon Scarth, and concluded’ by’ congratulating Rev. E. J.

his staff upon the success of the year at Bishop’s

College School. ‘‘ “Their work,” ‘said he “is ourwork, and, in

this case at least, the current that we seek is plain before our eyes,

‘1iió est utnasquarn guoci quccrirn’us.” ‘

The Pnnctpal, Dr Whitney, reported that the work of

the Collegehad been quietly and very efficiently carried on during

the past year. The number of students was’ 39 in.afl—6 i;

divinity, $ in thud yetr, $ in the second CcU, ond 9 in the first

in the second year, to in the first, and one l)artild. One of.these had gained the first place in the first year, ;tiid the onlyone of the recent matricuhnts .to gain a first class was a lady(Miss Driuhmond, of Leunoxville.)

“The death of Rev. Canoil Scarth, One Of the profbsso;sl;.s lft.a blank hard to fiB. None of us knew better tile traditions and the history of the plice, and none had show;; more

• Harold V. Routh as lecturer in - modern languages had provedvc;y successful, and it WaS hoped to add shom thy ‘t much needed

.‘ the College had been very beneficial to theineO. The Principal•

• bell, one of the original professors, had borhe a large and gener• ous share in the work of the school. It was in;possihle to over-•

state his services. The Principal went on to ay that ever sincehe caine to Lennoxville he had’ felt the. necessity of bein inclose touch with the provincial Academies and their teachers. It

•. wasspccially for that reason that he welcomed the ‘opening of tine

cotirse for women, and it was for that rason that four years agoso man regretted the exclusion, unfair, asbe felt it to be, fromthe A. A., examinations. It is not from pure selfisitness lie re-.grettod the exclusion, but because lie felt the University could dosomething for the Academies and the teachers that no other body

• could. . .

Rev. Dr. Allnatt, Daan of. the Faculty of Divinity, raprted that during the year ther were 21 candidates for 1-loly Orders,several inure than last year. Some left during the year, so thatthe number at the dose was 23. The nuic;ber were drawn from’eight dioceses, sevO;; of which were Canadian. Three, members

had seen fitto ordain to the diaconate students of the divinity

course,-promises being exacted that they would contin tie their

of the Rev. Mr. Neims. “The chief difficulty we have to face.”

said Dr. Aflnatt, “is to provide within the time devoted. to the

purpose, a range of study sufficiently comprehenske,aud at the

THE MITRE 225

The prizes were presented to the successful winners by

the Bishop of Maine. The Valedictory, whIch will be found on

another page, was then read by Mr. E. Miall, and the rest of the

afterhqon tvas devoted to addresses from those receiving honor

ary degrees. His Lordship Bishop Codman, tvhose subject for

the University sermon wassocial service, again spoke ofthe.theme

in the afternoon. He told of the young men and women in the

UnitcdStates, who, after graduating from college, rented rooms

in sotne of the poorest districts.of the cities in order that they;

might learn the conditions in which, the poor lived so as to

be better able to stiggest social improyement. The Bishop

urged all yottng men and tvomen to consider it their duty to

visit the prisons and workhouses in whatever neighborhood they

might find themselves He said tli’it in the United States it had

been shownttiat the prisons turned out more criminals than were

sent therfor punishment. He exhorted the clergy not merely

to preach.on Sunday, but to lead their congregations in practical

reform measures.Rev. Principal Rexford, in the course of his remarks, spoke

of the Itarmony md sympathy in work existing between Bishop’s

College itnd the Montreal Diocesan College. Dr Rexford declared

lie w is heartily in sympathy with the departure at Bishop’s of

admitting women to courses of study He said that in a fe

years the tuen would have to look to it lest time women cut them

out In tire prize list He riso referred feelingly to the former

Clmuncllor, Dr. Renëker, with whom he had been associated in

much educational work.Dr Richard White, after expressing his gratification with

the honour con1erred upon him, spoke on the present aspect of

journalism, as one who h id been connected ith newspaper work

for the l)aSt fifty years The newspapers of Canada, as a whole,

had in tire last fifty years m ide, like othei educational rnst;tu

turns lLnmense progress, said Dr White i’hey were not all

that might be desired, perhaps, but on thewhole, were doing a

good and useful work, and had improved in tone and haracter

quite as much as any other institution in the community The

old personalities lie used to remember of fo;ty or fifty years ago

h’md ne’mrly thsi.ppeared, and the tone ofpubhcthscussion had been

226 THE MITRE

• ;‘aised and dig’nifled. People differed in opinions, but the pon

alities and personal abuse so graphically jiuitt’ayed by Dickens in

the Eatonsville Gazette and its rival had completely disappeared.

Touching on more persorud matters, Dr. White said that in •the

thirty-foui years he had controlled The Gazette, he litd bad

• occasion to know and see a good deal of the work done at Lennox

yule, uid for several years, until ill—helilthprcveiited, had been a

member of the Board of Trutees. In conclusion, he wished the

College as successful a future as it had bad a past, and hoped that

the present gi aduates might t cke ‘i pi olinnen t Part in thc develop-

• ment of Canada’s future.

• Dr Colby said that he considered the conferring of tlii

degree on him as a token of i espect, in which McGill ‘V tS ft help,

rather than any personal attainments. il spoke of the impor—

— tniice of the Eastern Townships in tonnection with the up build

ing of the Dominion both educationally and otherwise, ‘and

• concluded by saying that education nowadays was .not so much,

V

• VV The ordination to the Priesthood an.d Diaconate of

Studeutsof the University of Bishop’s College, Lennoxvitle, was

held in St Petet’s Churdi, Sherbrooke, on Sunday moining, June

19th The large congregation that atended completely filled

V the beautiful church, and the sun shone brightly as if to cheer the

V caiididates by its gladsome rays in this most important moment of

V ‘ their li’es, when dedicating themselves to. the Master’s service.

TVhV ni’tv St. Peter’s Church is in attractive building, erected two

years ago during (he rectorate of the Rev., Canon George W.

Dumbell D D., now rector of Goshen, N. Y., in the United States,

and has a seating capacity of over four hundred. Many relativesV and fiiends of the candidates for Holy Orders were piesent, some

sity, Candidates for ordination and Choir formed in the Vestry and

entered the Church singing the well known hymn ‘‘Thy Kingdom

come, 0 God.’’ The service ope;ied with the sermon, the preachier

bing the Rev; Richmond Shreve, D P., rector ci’ Sherbrooke,

who took for his text the appropriate words ‘‘But ye shall receive

power, after that the i-ioiy Ghost is come upon you’ —Acts I, S.

In eloquent language Dr. Shreve referred to the wonderful power

of God as manifested iti nature and man—the’ poiver of the tern

; pest, the power of consulting uire. the pow’er of oratory 5y which

one man can rnve thousands by his words, and he said that it was

ot.this.power God had promIsed to give by the operutloil of’ time

Holy, Ghost., even the power of remissioti of sins being granted to

His fidtliful priests in ordination. The’ preacher emphasized the

fhct that while difficulties, that might well cause them to tremble

confronted them, they could rely on God’s help which would, be

sifficient for ever’ emergency. Dr. Shreve’s words carried con

viction with them, and must have made a ‘lasting impression on

his hearers particularly on the candidates foi’ Holy Orders.

Then followed the impressive Ordination Service, first of,

Deacor ‘and next of Priests. The supreme moment was reached

vhen the Bishop, tvith the priests present., laid their hands sever-

allü’pon the head of those receiving the order ot’Priesthood, time

The Right Rev, the Lord Bishop of Quebec conducted the

services in such a manner as to bring out ‘their Full dignity and

• beauty. 1-le was assisted by the Rev. Professor Allnatt, B. P.,•

, who acted as the Archdeacon’s deputy, presenting the candidates

to the, Bishop for ordination. The Rev. Prof. Dunn filld the

TIlE ivflTRE 229

office of Bisliop’sCliiplain and also intoned the ‘Litany. Theother clergy, besides those already ine;itioned, who took partwere, RevV. E. B. Browne, B. K, Rev. R. C. Tainbs, M. A.,Rev. G.E. Weagant, B. A., and Rev. J. G. Ward, M. A.

Next followed the eliral Comtnunioti Service, the musicbeing ‘lburs in F, vhich was beautifully rendered by. the largevested choir, Mr. Fletcher presiding at the’organ, in an efficientmanner. The Epistle tvas read by Rev. G. E. Weagant and theGospel by Rev. K J. Vibert, aiid’the recessional hymn broughttVIIC two hours service to a close.

To the hiiity, attending such a service as this is a privilegenot to be neglected, since it shows clearly the relation of Priestsand Deacons to the people in the Church. Doubtless this factinfluenced the Bishop in his decisioh to hold the ordinationthis year in a large church like St. Peter’s, Sherbrooke, ratherthan as Inst year in the Chapel of St. Mark at the University.,though at first the decision caused feelings of regret, since noother chttrcti. is quite so dear - to the hearts of Bishop’s Collegegraduates as their own beautiful little Chapel.

—- Wc extend to the candidates our best wishes for success in -

their Wtcred calling and hope that, through their efforts.people’’ may ‘be “added unto the Lord.”

230 THE MITRE

After full justice had been done to the different courses,everyone settled himself to listen to the afterdinner speeches,the great attractioi of the evening. T1i , health of’ the Kingwas proposed in a few well chosen words by the President of theAssoci.tion, the Rev. A. H. Moore, M. A. The health ‘of theUniversity by the Bishop of’ Maine, who, in a most pleasingspeech, emphasized the importance of a long training, not only inDivinity but also in the Arts course, as necessary for-candidatesfor Holy Orders. The Chancellor of the University replied in a-most happy vein’ and incidentally nentioried, the gàod work ofthe Alumni Association. He also toldof the iiicreased interestwhich The’ Mitre was creating, and said that -whereas once The,Mitre had often found its way to the .waste-paper basket•unopened, now it was not only opened but read and enjoyed.The toast ‘of the ‘Alumni Association was proposed by. theDean of Quebec,-who alo spoke of the good work that body wasdoing in advertising the College, and answered in a.witty speechby Rural Dean Robertson. The toast,of the Siste Universities

- was proposed by Principal Whitney, who received, a great -

- ovation on rising,- and responded to by Prof. Colby (of.McG1II,)- whose speech was one of the cleverest of’ the evening. The

health of Bishop’s College School was propee.d by ‘Mr. Keating,whse .words on the improveme’it of schools were listened towith great intest. Mr. Bidwell replied,, mostly .on the ‘samelines. Mr. Williams, Headmaster of the Preparatory School,also replied in a speech full of that geniality for which he is sowell known, and breathing a friendliness and sympthi with

- - .,, the College, ‘which ViU iot soon be forgotten. Mr. ‘Shurtleff -

- “: toast of the graduating class was proposed by Br. Parrock in oneof Ins inimitable speeches, nd meplied to by Mr Fletcher, whose

words on this diffleult topic were admirable. Mr. Truell (thePrincipal of She’rbrooke’High School,) roposed £tie health of the

THE MITRE 233

The, latter half of th sermon dealt with “Higher C’iticisin,’’ which, Dr. Whitney explained, meant the examination ofthe authorship and composition of the Bible, while “LowerCriticism” re1rred oniy to the text. Amongst other things, thepreacher pointed out that moderate and careful study of’ thesebooks may change our views of the Old Testament, but cannottretichi on rvelation. God iias given us the power to study, andwe have a right to know. It can only result in a deeper know

• . ledge of the Creator and His dealings with man. If we cannotuse the same methods in studying the documents of our religion,

• which we ue in studying those of the Greeks or Egyptians, weshall end by.knowing less of the history of the Jews than we do

• of the Classics. V

After mentioning with regret the lack of moderatidn disJ)lftyed by some con troversialists on this subject, and urging thenecessity of expounding the Bible not always solely for the bene

• fit of sitnple minds, Dr. Whitney concluded by admitting that toteach in religious matters was a grave responsibility, but one

• which God gave us the power to bear.• The whole sermon was marked by a libeitLlview of reli

V

V

gion quite ‘unfettered by sectarianism. The great learning of— the preacher was brought to bear on the subject with consummate

234 THE MITRE

- the gathering, which was heartily approved by the chairman,was to organize the teachers of the district for mutual supportand help. Mr. N. T.

— of such an asociation. This lead to some discussion, in whichMr. W. L. Shurtleff and Dr. Parrock ‘vere-promirieiit, regardingthe territory which time organization should cover—whether itshould be limited to the district of St. Francis or extended to thewholeEastern Townships, but this ‘poin was finally left inabeyance for future decision mud, the motion was adopted.Dr. ‘Whitney and Mr. Truell tvere ,then elected Presidept andSecretary respectively. On motion of Mr. F. C. Banfihl, seconded

••. by Mr. Harold Routh, mi committee, consisting of. the President

and Secretary, Messrs. W. L Shurtleff and Voiilflland and MissVan Vliet was appointed t draft a constitution. The details ofthe organization were afterwards considered and some practicalsuggestions tvere made. The association decided to hold twoneetings a year, one in spring and the other in autumn, and a

- social gathering in addition; as one of the objects of the association was ,to make the iiiembersacquainted.witb one another.

Mr. Truell, in a subsequent discusion, exposed the• present condition of the elementary schools and suggested as• remedy the institution of a leaving examination which rwuld

• give the teachers an aim for their work and create interest in• the schools. Mr Shurtleff, who was piesent, voluntee’ed to pay

for the printing of the examination papers amid offered a large•

- subscription towards the organizatiin of time ystem. •Thus theassociation has begun with something more than talk; it has

her of the Mitre was issued was the Annual Match betxven theGriiduates and Undergraducte. The weather was very tliieiitenlug all Wednesda-; iud this may have 1)reven ted some of theGraduates who were expected ‘to be pieeiit from tutning out

1-lowever, after some difficulity, a fiirly strong eleven was gathered, and the gatneommeciced at 2. 30. ‘I’he Graduates went ‘t0bat first and were iill out for 20. This result was chiefly due to

the splendid bowling of MiaLl and Daintrey, both •of whom werein-excellent form on that day; Daintrey taking 5 wickets for 7runs and Miall 5 for 13. runs. Coling and Weagant, two of ourold baseball players made top score for the Graduates. For theUndergraduates, Miall, Read and, Fletber materially assisted inmaking.tbe total 36. Callis as usual bowled well fir the Gnmduats taking 5 wickets for 1$ runs wtiileDonnelly, consideringhis htck of practice,also did well. ‘His swift balls were respon

about $100, which, together with other available assets of abotit

$25, gave the largest .blance in the history of the Association,

V All the property of the Association is in fair repair.. The

Racquetcourt needs a few repairS and altera’tions which will en

able it to be used in viziter. The need of another Athletic fIeld

is beginning to be felt, and the question is bound to come up in

the near future. It is almost impossible to keep the Cricket field

in proper shape when Football is played on it every Fall. The V

provision then of another field, and separate ones if possible Vfor
