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 Algoma Anglican enters your home for the first time today and we hope you will invite it back again, every month, for a long time to come. The idea of a monthly paper for Anglicans in the Diocese of Al- goma originated with His Grace Archbishop W. L. Wright, who felt such a publication would do much to unite the common interests of all the people in our far-flung diocese. Algoma covers such a wide territory that to date many of us in one part of the diocese have had little or no opportunity to learn about the activities and progress of our fellow churchmen in other sections. It is hoped, therefore, that the Algoma Anglican will rectify this situation, that it will keep us all informed of what is going on in all parts of the diocese, and, perhaps more importantly, help us to know each other better and more deeply understand each other’s problems and hopes. The success of the Algoma Anglican will depend, of course, on the support it receives from our people throughout the diocese. Circulation will develop if the paper has readership value, and readership value will develop if every parish in the diocese reports fully on its activities. In this connection we would like to suggest that each parish appoint a correspondent who would be respon- St.

  • General Information
    10 UNIVERSITY OF WESTERN ONTARIO General Information ORGANIZATION The University' of Western Ontario is composed of three units: the College of Arts (University College), the Medical School and the Institute of Public Health; affiliated with the University are four colleges teaching four-year Arts courses: viz., Assumption College, Windsor; Ursuline College, London; St. Peter's Seminary College of Arts, London; Waterloo College, Waterloo; one Junior College teaching the first two years in Arts only, Alma College, St. Thomas; one theo­ logical college, Huron College, London. HISTORY Western University, through the efforts of the Bishop of the Diocese of Huron of the Church of England in Canada, received its charter from the Legislature of the Province of Ontario in 1878. The first classes graduated in Arts and in Medicine in 1883. The Medical School has maintained an unbroken existence since it was first opened. In 1912 control by a joint stock company ceased and the Medical School became a Faculty of the University, under the direct control of the same Board of Governors as the rest of the insti- tution; in 1921 it occupied its present buildings. The Faculty of Arts, for financial reasons, was forced to close from 1885 to 1895. Revived in the latter year, it was for some time com­ pelled to struggle for existence, but in 1908 its charter was so amended that it became undenominational and was permitted to receive financial assistance from the London City Council. Later, when the student body had increased to such an extent that local finances could not possibly meet the demands, the Province assumed part of the load of current expense.

Author of twenty-four volumes on ike History, Geography and Biography of Canada and General Literature Printed and Published by JOHN LOVELL & SON, LIMITED MONTREAL 1910. CHRIST CHURCH CATHEDRAL, MONTREAL. DEDICATION MY LORD It gives me much pleasure to dedicate this important work, &quot;The History of the Diocese of Montreal,&quot; to your Lordship. Your election and elevation to the highest office of the Church in this Diocese, is a proof of the estimation in which your Lordship is held by both your Clergy and Laity. May an even greater prosperity attend your oversight of the spiritual and temporal affairs of the Diocese under your guidance, and that it will advance as rapidly in the future as it has done in the past, is my earnest prayer. Praying that your Lordship may long be spared to be our Bishop, I remain Your sincere Presbyter, J. DOUGLAS BORTHWICK, LL.D. PREFACE IN the Jubilee year of the Diocese of Montreal, A.D. 1900, I was requested by several prominent persons, both Clerical and Lay, to write an historical sketch of the Diocese for the past 50 years. What I did write then was printed in one or two of the Montreal newspapers. In this Jubilee Year, 1909, of The Synod of Montreal, which was founded and opened on the /th day of June, 1859, I was again asked to extend and elaborate what I had then written, and thus make it a volume which could be kept as a &quot;Vade Mecum&quot; and Book of Reference for succeeding generations.

  • Archbishop Anne's Advent 2019 Ad Clerum
    Archbishop Anne’s Advent 2019 Ad Clerum “And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “See the home of God is among mortals. He will dwell with them as their God; they will be his peoples, and God himself will be with them; he will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; mourning and crying and pain will be no more, for the first things have passed away.” Rev. 21.3-4 Father of all, we pray to you for those we love but see no longer. Grant them your peace; let light perpetual shine upon them, and in your loving wisdom and almighty power, work in them the good purpose of your perfect will, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen (BAS. Pg. 602) 1 My dear friends in Christ, “Besides this, you know what time it is, how it is now the moment for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we became believers; the night is far gone, the day is near. Let us then lay aside the works of darkness and put on the armor of light.” (Romans 13:11-12) In his book ‘Craddock Stories’, the preacher Fred Craddock describes an event that took place at a Wednesday evening service at Temple Baptist Church. “I went to a service down at Temple Baptist Church on Wednesday night. I could hardly worship. There was a couple in front of me that talked through the whole service. I mean the whole service. They weren’t young people, you know, they were nearly as old as I am.
