In the JrlOnth of June , while levelling t h e ,.\'alls of St . Paul's Church, the workm en di s<:: over ed . the foundation stone, with its contents uninj ured by the t e rrible conflagration through which it had passed. They consist ed of a coin of the realm, a copy of "The Alg oma :Missionary N e v~s" of the 15th S eptember, 1894, the " Canadian Churchman" dated 13th September, 1894, and the "North Bay Times" of 5th A pril, 189 L1<, The stone was "well and truly laid" in the latte r part of S eptembe r of that year, a nd the e vent w as marked b y great r ej oicing, in which many visitors from all ove r the district took part. , The first sod of the n ew St. Pau)'s was turned on Friday after - ' noon, the 6th of July, b y :Mrs. C . C. Fan, who laid the corne r­ stone of the first church twenty-nine years a go. A large numb ~ r of m ember s of the congregation a nd othe r s g athered for the cere-: mony. The R ector, the R ev. Canon Hincli:s, gave a short address, ' telling of the progr ess that had b een made and the plans that are , to b e carried out. The n ev" building, h e said, would be one of ' which the congregation mig ht w ell b e proud, one that would in­ spire their h earts and draw them n eare r ' to God. It was his hope that the first services would b e h eld in the n e w church on Christ­ mas Day, although the n ew church might not b e dedicated b y , that time . The service concluded with a prayer for the builders a nd a ben ediction on the work:

THE CHURCH'S WORSHIP

"~T h e n to the House of God ye come, a prayer in 'secret say, On bended knee His grace implore, for thus 'tis meet to pray.

L eave a t the door you l' w eekly cares, God loves the pure in 'heart; To those who , ·who11y look to Him, He "vill true grace impart. Aloud, but humbly, answer make, as Comn~on Prayer directs; H e ,,,ho sits silept or asleep the way of lae n eglects. In st a nding posture give YOLlr alms, and standing, sing God's praise, Be not a fra id to lift your voice the gladsome hymns to raise . Bow at the Holy Name which God in our poor nature bore; \nd silently His blessing ask, ere that ye see the door. Talk not to neighbour or to friend- step softly, bare the h ead; For h ')ly is the very ground on which' your footsteps tread. Thus eve r use the House of God- in prayer and joyful lJraise; H e b est will pass the coming ~veek who these few rules obeys:

THE JUBILEE OF CHRIST CHURCH, PORT SYDNEY ( f- ,00 III Deantiful weather on Sunda~ ', August 5th, the Jubilee A11 - llive rsary of Christ Church, Port Sydney, vvas celebrated, ana proved to b e one of the greatest and most interesting of events in the history of Port Sydney. To honour the occasion, the Arch- . bishop of A ig oma and' a la'~'g e concourse of clergy and friends came from far and n ear. The picturesque church, now fifty years old, had b een beautifully d ecorated with fe rns and flowers . The proceedings of the day b egan with a celebration of Holy Com­ munion at 8 a .m., Canon A llman, Rural D ean and a former incnm­ b ent, being' the celebrant, assisted by the R e v. T. V. L'Estrange. lVCatins was said at 9.45 a .m. and was followed by the chief service of the day, a choral celebration of the Holy Communion at 10.30, when the church 'Iva s filled to capacity. His Grace the Archbishop w as the celebrant, b eing assist ed by the Rev. Canon Allman of Gravenhurst and the R ev. H. Johnson of Parkhill a s Gospeler and Epistolcr r esp ectiY ely . Other cle rgy present w e r e, the ' R ev. H. F. Hutton, Rev. T . V . L'Estrange ~nd R e v. E . J. :Mc.Kittrick of Toronto. The Archbishop eloquently t estified 'to 'the importance of the occasion in his sermon based all th e text "And thou shalt r emembe r all the way which the Lord, thy God led thee these forty years ." (Dent. 8:2 ) . H,e expressed his sorrow at the incumbent's serious illness, but was glad that :Mr. Hutton was able to b e present; and h e also expressed his joy that lVIr. Sy dney Smith had been allowed, after fifty years of faith ful persever ence, to ente r into the fruits of his labours. THE ALGOMA MISSIONARY NEWS 93

In the afte rnoon visitors and friends from Bracebridge, Hunts ville, N e wholme, Ullswater and A ll ensville arrived to join in the service of P,vensong at three 0' clock, and the historic meet­ ing which immediately fo1lowed. The large number who had now gathered exceeded two hundred and fifty p eople, quite a , number of whom had to be content with following the service from outside . The service\vas taken by the R ev. T. V. L',Estrange, the l essons being read by the rectors of Huntsville and Graven­ uhrst. The unavoidable absence of the rector of Bracebridge, ·w hose parish "vas the mother-parish of the mission of Christ Chu rch, Port Sydney, was much r egretted. ' In a n address of deep inspiration and importance, His Grace the Archbishop dwelt on the "... ' ork and growth of the Church of God in the life of a community, choosing for his text I Cor. XII. 4,: This splendid Service closed with a sp ecial T e D eum of thanks­ gnTmg. The offerings of the day amounted to, two hundred and sixty-five dollars . At the subsequent m eeting in the church g rounds, presided over by :Mr. Sydney Smith, the large gathering list en ed with inte r­ est t o a historical sk etch prelJar ed and r ead b y the R ev. T.

Throuo'h the kindness of a lady r ela tive of the Incumbc nt and .Mrs . d e r: O~1) , assist ed b y a fri e nd or t·wo besides, a beautiful car­ pet \vas p r esented to St. G eorge's Church as an Easter gift. The carpet covers both the sanctuary and chancel. The members of the local bra nch of tl1e W. A. m et on two or three days in succes­ sion, removed the worn-out carpet, thoroughly clean sed the chu reh, planned and laid the welcome gift, a nd partly painted the f1ool·. So the church now looks quite tidy-even pretty--within; but it n eed s much to b e spent upon it yet of love, labour, and offer­ ings. The a nnual Garden Party, an important event in the sod a l life of the congregation, was h eld on the evening of ~Te dnesda y, J ul ." 25th. It. included an attractive ente rtainment and open a ir conce rt. The children and young 'p eople of St. George's had been train -:.: d by ~frs . d e Lam, and appeared in pretty character cos­ tumes, accompanied by the "Goblins' Band." The garden p a rty was well attended, and was a great success ill ever y way . On the 2nd of August a similar garden party ·was h eld at D es­ barats . :Mr. and Mrs. G e o. Linklate r very kindly allowed the u se of their home and grounds on D esb a r ats Hill for the event. The young people in costume and their band were again in eviden ce, and their performance was much enj oyed by those present. TH1". . ALGOMA MISSIONARY NEWS

MRMORJES OF BISHOP SULLIVAN

One of the ve r y happy f eatures of our Jubilee observ ances "vas the presence of :1\1rs. Sullivan, ,,\r ho had · come from h er home in Toronto to join with u s in our thanksgivings . On the openihg day of Synod Mrs. Sullivan gave an a ddress, filled with m emdries of h e r husband; and at its close sh e presented to the A rchbishop for the Diocese a framed portrait of the Bishop. It is a privilege to be allowed to give our r ead e rs this intimate account of one whose memory is r e vered throug hout the len g th and breadth of the Di o­ cese, a nd f a r b eyond. MRS.

I must ~;I,s .k your leniency as you listen, for it is the first time in my life"ihat I IULv e spoken in public,-and on only one s ubj ect could- I speak- but I have known and studie d it for over thirty y ears, and its name is Edward Sullivan. I have often been a sked 'when those three Irishmen , Carmi­ chael, DuMoulin' and Sullivan ca: me to this country, if they ca m e ove r on ithe same s hip? I am sorry to spoil the leg end, but they camc at diffe r ent times. But it was through the influence of one man, who imbued them all 'with the missionary spirit,-Dr. Fl e u~' Y of Dublin, whose wonderful Bible Cl ass sent m en fine d "dth the Holy Spirit ito all p a rts of the world. Carmichael w as the first to com e, then Sullivan , r ead y for or­ dination at the hands of Bis hop Cronyn.

One can imagine what those meetings nUlst have been with Huch speakers,--Brough, Boomer, Carmichael, Baldwin, Sullivan and DuMoulin ~ One night, returning from a meeting, ,they passed a little Methodist chapel, still lighted, and one of them said: "let us go in and listen." So they crept quietly into the little gallery at the end. The preacher was urging the people to come to the penitent bench. Unfortunately Archdeacon Brough lifted his snow-crowned head , a little too high. It caught the eye of the speaker, who called out, pointing to the little gallery. ~ 'A nd you, you hoary-headed sinner, come down , to the penitent bench." Before Algoma became the all-absorbing interest in his life, Edward Sullivan spent ten years in ;C hicago. He succeeded Dr. Cummings in, Trinity Church. The Cheney controversy soon be­ gan and he had many conversations with him, in hopes of avoid- " ing the, break,-but it came. , ~ , The great and a'wful fire took place not long after, fifty thou-, sand people burned out! It is impossible for words to describe, it made one think of what' the Judgement Day might be like. The very stones melted and ran like water. Trinity Church burned from the towers do\'vn. Ed'ward Sulli­ van, at the risk of his life, "vent into the bu:rning vestry to try to save the r egisteTs and valuable papers. \Ve saw the flames shut him in, and had to fly ourselves. We r eached home at last, and waited, and waited. At last we saw a figurc come st.umbling up the steps, with a heavy burden. His face was black, his eyes j·ed and blood-shot, clothes covered with cinders, and it was not till , ( h e s.i )oke that we knew him. vVe held iservices in a rented hall, until the Chapel was fin­ ished. At that time a Chicago paper was publishing, each Sun­ day) what is called "'Valks 'among the Churches", describing the clergymen and members of the congregation in such a way that they might as well have named them. One Sunday a member of the Vestry told the Rector that "Trinity was in, would he like to see it?" "No," he said, but asked if it was of the same scurril­ OllS nature. Then the service began. When he came to the sermon, he noticed a man, just in front of him, taking notes. He stopped and asked him if he \vas a re- porter. "Yes' , "1can~e tIe ans\,ver. "F' rom, tIeI Ch·lcago' T·lInes. ? " "Y Cf; ," "Then I request you not to report my sermon." And he beg'3 n again. The reporter \S till continued to tak'e notes, so he stopped again, and said, "As a "vorshipper, you are welcome to re­ main, but not as a reporter of the Chicago Times." Then he waited. The men all oyer the hall were in great excitement, long­ ing to put the Ulan out, but presently, white as a sheet, he rose and walked the whole length of the hall to the door. The service \\ ~ e nt on without more interruptions. Oddly enough, his name was Sullivan. THE ALGOMA MISSIONARY NEWS

" Then "ve got home we found fQur r eporte rs, waiting to know what had happened. Next morning great headlines appeared in the papers announcing, "The libert~T of the Press had been vio­ lated." "The Press insulted/' etc. :Many of the papers in the States took it up and there "vas a great fu ss, but the end of it "vas,' there were no more ""Talks among the Churches" and the" editor became a friend and admirer of the man who had such courage. ~T hen Ed"vard Sullivan came to Algoma, h e found, as the Banks say, "No funds;" so if the Diocese was to live, they had to be found. He used t.o call himself a "l\1itred ~IendicaY!t," but al-, ways held that that was not a Bishop's work. On one of his visits to England for this purpose he was asked to preach in St. Pau]'s Cathedral Oll St. Pau]'s day. It was a wonderful ,service. The text was" St., Paul the Missionary," I think it was one of th.e most ' b eautiful sermons I ever heard him preach. We were lunching with Dean Vaughan, whose wife was a siste r of Dean Stanley's, She said a great deal to the preacher about that sermon. I was never a]]owed to say more than, "I ' liked what h e had said," but I asked him if he felt nervous, ''''ith such -men in the chancel, whose names w e re world known? H e gave me a sweet rebuke. "\Vhy should I be n e rvous-? I had my message to give. I had not even a note with me." (He never preached that sermon again.) He always took great pains with his sermons, wdting them out in full. His memory was wonderful. I have h eard him preach three sei'mons in one Sunday without a note. I think his favourite sermon was "I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto m e ." He stayed several times at Lambeth, and was asked to preu,ch in one of the Chapels Royal. To the horror, I 'fear, of some of his fri e nds, h e wrote that he was sorry h e could not obey the command, for his confirmation appointments were made in Algoma, and it was impossible to /change them. An answer came back, to make some other date, which was convenient for him, 'which h e cUd. An invitation came asking him to preach in Westminster Abbey, but he was sailing about that time, and for the same ' reason, would not change his appointments. Algoma must come first. The famous artists of the day asked hin'l for sittings, b~lt his answer was, '''I cailnot." And yetJ when the time came to g i"e up Algoma, it was done without a murmur, becau se it was for AI­ gonIa's good. One of his great pleasures was the yacht "Evangeline," his " 'Vate r Baby" 'he called it. H e took out his pape rs at Otta .va, THE ALGOMA MISSIONARY NEWS 97

and was his own pilot. vVhen children, who loved him, used to ask him to 'write his name in their books, lie "vould say, "1 have four names Edward Sullivan, Tabag (Spreading Light) , Captain Sullivan and E. Al­ goma." One afternoon I went into his study,,--(his door was never locked, whether in the midst of sermons or study, children and wife were always welcome) ,-just after his return from a long try­ ing trip and bitter drive. I found him going over some sermons, he said "I promised to preach in St. Luke's to-night." It was vVednesday. I said~ '''You are so tired. Can't you take ~ Par­ able?" He said very gently, "I n ever offer to God what has cost me nothing." vVe seldom heard from him in those long jon rneys, -wnd you of the Diocese know wha~ they were in those days. But he never allowed the word "hardship" to b e used in connec­ tion with himself, and said, "No man can make a sacrifice for Christ." The other day an old lake captain, in talking of him, said, "It seems as if his influence ,,,,:as growing.'~ This rather staggered me, till 1 remembered, UMy word shall not return unto me void." vVhen ~Irs. Randall Davidson was made a m ember of the vVo­ man's Auxiliary in Toronto, I was sitting beside her, and said, "You will not remember 'm y' Bishop,--you see so many hundreds of them." Her answer was, "Whoever met him and could forget hi in ?" Is it any wonde r that those n earest to him loved hin1 as they did? One who neve r said an angry or cross word, never lost his tem'per or thoug;ht of self, one who was endowed ",;ith a great in­ tellect and many charms, and yet was humble as a little child. He has been given another name by Judge Osler, " Our Great :Mission­ aI'Y" Edward Sullivan.

THE vVO lVfAN'S AUXILIARY AND ITS yVORK

An address d eliver ed by :Mrs. D. B. Donaldson, Dominion Treasurer of the \V. A., b e fore the m embei's of the Sy nod of Al­ gOl11a and the d elegat es to the Annual .Meeting of the 'iV. A ., on the 19th June, 1923.

Your Grace, I am k eenly conscious of the great privilege a nd the honour which is mine today,---:-the privilege of b eing present on this the occasion of the joint celebration of the Jubilee of the Dio­ cese of Algoma, a nd the Annual 1I.eeting of the vVoman's Auxiliary of this Dioc ~se, and the honour of b eing asked, as r epresenting the YV. A ., to speak to you on this unique occasion. Your Grace has always been a very r eal friend of the YYom a n 's A uxiliary. In the name of the Dominion Board of that organization, I would extend · most sincer e congratulations to y ou on thIs happy event. Your diocese may ·well b e glad and rej oice that for so long it has had the privilege of your g uidance a nd lead er ship in the ·work of God a nd the Church. The hope and prayer of the women of the church to­ day is that through God's good grace y ou may be spared for still many years to b e the guide and counsellor of the Woman's Auxiliary, and a strength and inspira tion to the whole Church. I am h e re to-day to represent the \V. A ., and it is of their work I want to speak for a few minutes., I h ave often f elt that I should like to suggest to the leaders of our A n glican Theological Colleges that a f ew lectures on the ' iV . A . and its w ork would b e a h elpful addition to the curriculum in those halls of learning. If all the clergy of our Church, when t a king up parochial ·work, only under­ stood what the VV. A . r eally was, a nd what it did, a nd the work and worry it saved them, they would with one a ccord rise up and call us blessed,--inst ead of the r eve rse as has been known to b e done . I have heard of parishes in which. the r ector would not a llo·w a YV. A. to be organized, and of others where they were a llowed under protest, a nd with the f eeling that the money contributed by the mel1l b el'S should go to parochial work or to help pay the mis­ .';ionary apportionment of the parish. I f eel sure that if those r ectors, who, I kno,,\', have the ·work of God d eeply at h eart, r eally unde rstood what the W. A. st a nds for in the church to-day, w e would in all cases h ave their fuD est co-operation. So many people seem to f eel that the W. A. and the 1\1. S. C. C ., a,.,ore diffe r ent organizations working on two distinct lines. This misconception is due, I think, to the wrong use of t erms. The 1\ f. S. C. C. is the Church on its mission a r y side . \Ve aD, men and women alike, belong t o the lV1. S. C . C. The M . S. C. C. functions 'under two h eads-the Board of :Man agem ent, which, speaking broadly, i.<; r e ';ponsible for the work carried on b y m en , a nd the Dominion Board of the " roman's A uxilia r y to the M. S . C. C.) which is r espon sible for the work done by women among women THE ALGOMA MISSIONARY NEWS 99 and children in the mission fields of our Church. That this is no small share I think you will believe 'when I say that if to-morrow the 'V. A. s.hould go out of existence, nearly forty-three per cent. of the missionary work of the church would have to be dropped altogether or else the cost of carrying it on 'would have to be added to the already heavy burden of the Church. The Board of ,Management is asking this year from the churches, the amount of $241,000. Now many seem to feel that that amount is all that is to be used in our missionary work. Not at all. To that must be added the 'work done by 'women mission­ aries among womelJ. and children in those fields, amounting this year to, approximately $165,000; making a total spent for our 'work in the mission field of approximately $406,000. I think that fact should be better knovvn by the Church at large. It should give us heart and courage to persevere if we realize what our Can- , adi:;w church has already been able to accomplish. To support that stateillent, I' am going to give a few figures. (I am not speak­ 'ing of extra sums given for buildings, etc., but merely for the pay­ ing of cost of maintenance). This year in our dioce:se of Honan, China, will be spent about $58,000. Of that Sum the Board of :Ma'nagement will pay $33,000, and the W. A. $25,00.0. In our diocese in Japan, the cost win be approximatel:y $53,000. The Hoard of J\lanagement win pay $32,000, a:nd the W. A. $21,000. In Kangra, the Board of :l\Ianagement will l~ay in the neighbour­ hood of $11,000, and the vVoman's Auxiliarv $13,000. That is in . onr overseas work. . . Now, come to the Canadian field. On the net cost of our In­ dian Boarding Schools, the Bo;~rd of l\I~1.nagement wil] pay some­ thing less than. $23.,000. That covers the salaries of the men on the staJ-f and the upkeep of the schoo], aI)d clothing for boys over ]:3 years of age. For those schools the \IV. ,A. pays the salaries of the \vomen on the staff (six to eight in each school as the case may be) the net cost of which is $15,000. In addition to that, ' v~ r e pay for clothing and bedding for all the girls and for bO}Ts under 12 ycars,-some 650 children. The actual amount s})ent this year fOl' that purpose, was $54',000, making a total net cost to the ';Yo A: of $69,000 for [ndian Boarding Schools. In the work among Ori­ entals in Canada the Board of l\fanagement is to pay about $9.,000, and the W. A. $7,500. As grants to the J\Iissionary dioceses the Board of J\lanagement gives a large SU111. . But we come in and help there, as we are giving this year nearly $30,000 in cash and about $8,000 to $10,000 in supplies. And in that grant there is one part that is uniquely and distinctly VV. A. That is the educa­ tion grant to clergymen living in the missionary dioceses, who live too far away from any school for their children to attend, nor c;;tn they afford to send them out to school. The W. A. steps in there and gives a grant of $200, when ' asked for by the Bishop of the diocese, for ea~h child in the family, when of school age, to aid in sending the child out to obtain an education. This year we iOO THE ALGOMA MISSIONARY NE WS \ a re going to accept on t}11 s fund fifty children of the missionary ,cl e rgy . This is a thing: which is distinctly 'V. A ., and for the chance of doing this w e a r e ver y g la d. N ow, this is what the w om en of our Church a r e doing to-day. B y their own efforts, ·without any worry or a nxiet y on the part of the Church a uthorities, they a re paying n early 4,3 % of the total cost of the miSS Ion ·work of the church,-tha t is done b y them a s m embe rs of the Woma n 's A u xilia r y . On the othe r hand as mem­ b e rs of the p a rish, throug h the dup lex en velope or missionary co]]ection, they are h elping to make up the missiona r y a pportion­ m ent of that p a rish a nd so a r e h elping the In en p a y their share. And it h as b een known that they h ave been ask ed to vote a lump sum as a parochiaj orga niza tion to·wa rds t h e church a pportion­ m ent. That seem s h a rdly fair, does it ? N ow, I think y ou will see from wha t I h ave said, that the W . A . is a ve r y r eal a nd live fa ctor in the mission work of our church to-day . Speaking in this connection to the Toronto S y nod the other d ay, the H eve r end Dr. C ody told the story of a ce rtain dio­ ce,c;an S y nod tha t, a t its annua l m eeting, r eported two ver y hope­ ful sig ns-one was a la rgely incr eased giving, on the p a rt of the women . in the diocese, a nd the othe r tha t a large numbe r of leg'a­ d es had b e~n paid in.

The capita l of this fund is made p ossible throug h the " United Thank Offering" which is presented each y ear at our corp ora t e communion service . W e f eel tha t in no b ette r way can w e express our thankfulness to God for h a ving b een guided b y Him all .th e years since our org aniza tion.

And that faith has b een wonde rfully vindicated. God has onc e~ more taught us the so often n eed ed lesson that when the call j~ clear and unmistakable, the powe r to "carryon" is given in pro­ portion to the willingness to "go forward." At the time this l-e­ ~ pon s i b iLty was unde rta ken all our giving to 1Iission vvork was not more than $25,000. To-day we a r e giving not less tha n $150,000 . t,oLb e Tl1ission work of our Church. A nd this great increase ha ~ not com e throng:l la rge s ums of money contributed b y a fe w , but . t i,'i made up of the offerings of anorganizatiop- of 75,000 women and children, w]1O se prayers and a lms go up ccintinually as a me­ modal before G od. Surely the Church must ~'ejoice that it has within it this band of d evoted, loyal women, not afraid to make I the yentureof faith. But in all we do look for and we n eed the sympathy and co-o1)eration of the clergy of our Church, the rectors of our parishes. vV e n eed the b en e fit of their practical experi­ ~ nc e and common sen se-we n eed their inspiration and g uidance in the work w e do in our parishes and in our dioceses, for in dio­ ceses, where the mission claims are great, the Board of the "V. A. e xpects and t '1k es for grantd that the W. A. in that diocese will give largely to the supp ort of the work a t home. A ce rtain legi­ timate assessment for the general missionary \vork is asked from each branch, but b eyond that we under stand and expect the W. A. in such mis;.; lonary area to give a h eart y co-op~ration and support to all parochial and diocesan claims, '\\.'h en such are made or au­ thorized by parochial or diocesan authorities. So let u s have in all things the fullest co-ope ration and good will, th;;,t together w e, the men and women of the Church of God in this our land, may go forward in one unite d advance to plant upon the strong holds of sin and d eath the banner of Him who is the Lord of Life and the Prince of P eace.

A VISIt TO LLE'iVELLYN BEACH

. OIl Saturday, the 11 th A ugust, His Grace the A rchLishup " 'ith his chaplain boarded the guod ship " Buccaneer" at Sault Ste. Marie, and in cumpany with the uwner, ~Ir. :Matthews of Glen, dale, Ohio, were soon sp eeding down the St. M~ry's River. In spite of its name, the r e w er e no evidences of piracy aboard the beautiful little y acht. 'iV e were not bound for the Spanish ' ..Main , but for Llewellyn B each, the sunnne r home uf a number of American Churchmen, who year by year Ca Dl e north to enjoy thc cooler climate of Canada, and the outdoor life tu which snch s ur­ roundings invite tl~e summer visitor. Lle"vely n Beach is situa t ed not far from Richards' Landing, on St. Joseph's Island. The summer colony owes its urigin to the late Bishop \Vil1iams of N ebraska, who some twenty years ago built a cottage on the Beach, and who induced other Churchmen to follow his example . At present the summe r r esidents include three bishops, three d ean s, and several other cle rgy men of the American Church, who wHh their families 'and visitors form a com­ munity of about seventy-five p eople. The centre of the life of this unique colony is the Chapel of the Inte rccssion, in which not only Sunday services are held but a daily celebration a s well. The interior of this little sanctuary is pbin and simple, but a d evotiona l atmosphere p e rvades it, and it is greatly loved by those who gather in it day by day for wor­ ship. On the do~)l' is a bronze tablet with this inscription: This Chapel is a Memorial to him who built it to the Glory of God, Arthur Llewellyn Williams, D.D., Third Bishop of Nebraska, Founde r of this Colony . A man of God: A man among m en: Onr Friend. 1853- 1919. On arriving at the Beach we w e re r eceived b y ~,fl's. ~Iatthe",; s a nd h e r d a ughter; then His Grace proceeded to the home of Bishop Griswold, Bishop Suffragan of Chicago, while Bishop ~faxon , Co­ adjutor of Tennesee, claimed the chaplain as his guest. The following day about fort? gathered for the early Eu­ charist. The Archbishop celebrated, a ssist ed by Bishop Wise of Kansa s. The rite u sed was that of the American Prayer Book, which is u sed in the chapel b y p e rmission of the ArchbishoD. Later in the nlOl'ning the chapel ",'as crowded to the doors. :Mor~­ ing Praye r was read b y the A rchbishop's chaplain. Mr. Haag, a student of the G en e ral Theological Semina ry of N ew York; in d eacon's orde rs, r ead the lessons. After expressing his pleasure at b eing a bl e to welcome the visitors t9 the Diocese of Algom~ , and spea.king of the sympathy which the p eople of Canada w er e f eeling' with theil' n eig-h bours in the dea th of their President, His Grace nreached a t elling- sermon on the subject of the Grace of God, taking' as his t ext St. Paul's words in tl~e Epistle for the day, "By the grace of God I anl what I a m. .

What a pleasure it was to conduct a service where the re­ sponses were so hearty, where everyone joined in the ,service with voice as 'well as with heart! It suggested the question, Why are .so many congregations afraid of the sound of their own voices? If people ' r ealized the help it is to the clergyman in the 'Conduct of Divin (~ worship, they would respond as do the people of Llewel­ lyn Beach. On .:Monday morning we said good-bye to our kind hosts, and were motored back to the Sault; bringing with us the most plea­ sant recollections of a happy Sunday, and WIth some understand­ ing of the l~cason why the Church in the United States is growing so r apidly in strength and influence.
