YccJ- THE LIFE OF CHAPLAIN McCABE Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church BY FRANK MILTON BRISTOL ILLUSTRATED CINCINNATI : JENNINGS AND GRAHAM NEW YORK : EATON & MAINS / Copyright, 1908, by FLEMING H. REVELL COMPANY SECOND EDITION New York : 158 Fifth Avenue Chicago : 80 Wabash Avenue Toronto : 25 Richmond Street, W. London : 21 Paternoster Square Edinburgh : 100 Princes Street TO HIS BELOVED REBECCA PREFACE is with no little hesitation that I let this inade- ITquate biography of Bishop McCabe go to the pub- lic. Yielding to the request made by friends, whose kind partiality may have obscured their judg- ment as to my fitness for such a task, I undertook a work the demands and difficulties of which soon embarrassed me. Bishop McCabe! Who of us did not know, or think we knew, this unique and glori- ous man? But he has been growing on us since he passed from our company and we have been study- ing anew his great life-work. We begin to see how large he was by the vacancy which his death has made in the ranks of our foremost leaders. He was so many-sided, and so brilliant on every side, as is the diamond of multitudinous facets, so like no man but himself, that he well-nigh baffles adequate bio- graphical characterisation. Our story must fall far short of giving satisfaction to those who might have done this work more skilfully and with a more com- prehensive thought-grasp of Bishop McCabe's person- ality and mission. There are those among his thou- sands of friends who will regretfully piiss herein many a worthy, wise, and witty thing that might have been said of him; many an incident and anecdote that had been tenderly associated with his life; but the limits of this volume forbid the repetition of many of the lov- 8 PREFACE ingly familiar incidents of his diversified career which we cherish in memory. It is to be hoped that the reader will be gratified to find in this biography so much that may be called auto- biography. Extensive use has been made of the Chap- lain's own words, letters, journals, and addresses. And herein it will be found that the man is his own best biographer. It may be asked, "Why call this 'The Life of " Chaplain McCabe ' ? The answer is, it was as Chap- lain McCabe that he first became widely and greatly distinguished; as Chaplain McCabe he was known and honoured, loved and remembered by the old soldiers who would never hail him by any other name; as Chaplain McCabe his name had been familiar as a household word in the Methodist Church for more than thirty years before he was made a bishop; and to the close of his life the first word of greeting that sprang to the lips of a friend on meeting him was: "Chaplain!" In this instance the deference due to the dignity of an ecclesiastical title, however high-sounding it may be, will not seem to have been irreverently and unjustly sacrificed to the humbler name of affectionate familiar- ity. Chaplain McCabe ! By that name we first learned to admire him, love him, and follow him; by that name we shall remember him—as with all the dignities of higher office he ever remained, so shall he forever re- main, our glorious Chaplain McCabe.

McCabe, 1906 396 THE LAND OF HIS BIRTH CHARLES CARDWELL McCABE, the Grand Field-Marshal of Methodism, was born on historic ground, and came of a race whose genius and energy had transformed the wilderness to a garden and blazed the way for the westward march of Empire. Athens County, Ohio, with Washington County, of which it was originally a part, may claim the distinc- tion of being the site of the first white settlement made in the Northwest Territory. The close of the Revo- tionary War inaugurated a new epoch of westward migration in which many of the officers and soldiers who had won the battles of freedom and independence sought that inviting region just beyond the frontier of civilization which only awaited the coming of thrifty and intelligent toilers to make its savage wilds rejoice and blossom as the rose. The Ohio Country had been an attraction to the more enterprising and adventurous from the time of the French and Indian War. In the interests of Eng- lish land-speculators and at the suggestion of Governor Dinwiddle of Virginia, the youthful Washington, in the fall of 1753, started for the West to secure, if pos- sible, concessions of land in the Ohio Country from 13 14 THE LIFE OF CHAPLAIN McCABE the French and Iroquois. Although his mission was not successful, Washington had reached the borders of the great and mysterious Westland, had stood upon the banks of the Ohio River, and had journeyed so far north as to be able to look out upon the blue expanse of Lake Erie. He returned to this country from Vir- ginia a few months later, with the ill-fated Braddock, to recapture from the French " the Key to the Ohio Valley," Fort Du Quesne. The complete rout of the English and Virginians, the death of Braddock and the narrow, almost miraculous, escape of Washington within twenty miles of Fort Du Quesne, was all that came of this expedition. Washington had seen enough of the great West, however, to wish to see more, yes, and to possess as much as possible of its rich and fertile lands. Hence, in 1770, with Dr. James Craik and two or three servants he started the third time for the Ohio Country, reached the river, and in a canoe descended as far as the Great Kenawha, surveying with eager and speculative eye the very banks which afterwards were included in the county that took his name. A patent of 20,000 acres of land was granted Washington, and with such advantages and prospects he might have been tempted to go West had not the Revolution called him to another destiny. Benjamin Franklin was also lured by the prospect that presented itself to the enterprising and ambitious of his time in the opportunities of the great West, and he went so far as to propose to the Rev. George Whitefield that he join him in an undertaking to evan- gelise those benighted regions.

    CHAPLAINCY IN ANGLICAN SCHOOLS GUIDELINES FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF BISHOPS, HEADS OF SCHOOLS, CHAPLAINS, AND HEADS OF THEOLOGICAL COLLEGES THE REVEREND DR TOM WALLACE ON BEHALF OF THE AUSTRALIAN ANGLICAN SCHOOLS NETWORK ANGLICAN CHURCH OFFICE 26 KING WILLIAM ROAD NORTH ADELAIDE SA 5006 AUGUST 1999 1 CHAPLAINCY IN ANGLICAN SCHOOLS GUIDELINES FOR BISHOPS, HEADS OF SCHOOLS AND CHAPLAINS 1. BACKGROUND At the National Anglican Schools Conference held at Melbourne Girls’ Grammar in April 1997 the National Anglican Schools Consultative Committee was asked to conduct a survey on Religious Education and Chaplaincy in Anglican schools in Australia. The Survey was conducted on behalf of the Committee by Dr Peter Coman, Executive Director of the Anglican Schools Office in the Diocese of Brisbane in February 1998. An Interim Report was presented to the National Conference in May 1998. The Rev’d Dr Tom Wallace of the Anglican Schools Commission in Western Australia was asked to give consideration to ways in which the Report may be followed up and a small consultative committee, representative of all the States, was appointed to work with him. It was agreed that Dr Wallace would prepare a discussion paper on Chaplaincy in Anglican Schools, which would be considered initially by members of the representative committee with a view to wider circulation to Principals, Chaplains and Diocesan Bishops. That discussion paper was prepared and feedback on it was received from several Chaplains from three Australian States. As a result of the feedback the Paper was revised with a view to it being considered at a national gathering of Chaplains at the National Anglican Schools Conference in May 1999.

All information provided is intended for educational purposes. As laws are constantly changing, the reader should seek competent guidance as necessary and be aware of applicable legislative, administrative, and judicial action that may have occurred since preparation of this document.
