A GREA'r ACHIEVEMENT
T HE year 19-11 will always be regarded as a notable one in the history of the Church of England in Canada. Carrying out the decisions of the Board of Management of the M. S. C. G. and the Executive Council of the General Synod at their meetings in Str"t ford in September 19!0, a determined effort was made la"l t year t 0 raise the missionary apportionments in full- somethin g· which had never been clone before - and also to raise an additional amormt to "rl'ake the Load Off England." . rl' he amount set as the objective for the three Boards - the l\1is sionm·y Society of the Chnr~h of En~·land in Canarta (M.S.C . C ~ ) , the General B oard of Relig·ious. Educatioh ( G.B.R.E. ), and the Council for Social Service ( C.S.S. )-was $270,000; and the sum of $60,000 was added to replace the money formerly received from Engl and, making· a total of $330.000 as the Church's objective for 1941 for her missionary, educational and social 1vork. . _T he Bishop of Calgary, Chairman of the Apuortionments C"m nn tte ~ of the General Synod, gave inspiring leadership, vis]ting all the dioceses and olbtaining the full co - operati ~ n of the diocesan ~ u t~o rities, the clergy and the laity.

THE last Sunday evening 1n September the R ev. Cyril P eto vvas inducted as Rector of Trinity Chruch , Parry Sound, in the presence of a large congr egation . The Bishop conducted the service and gave the address of "The F un ctions of the :Ministry ." On November 27th the Bishop paid a second autumn visit to Parry Sound when a Layman's Dinner \Vas held. The dinner was served to over eighty men by the ·vv. A ., and great. interest was evinced concerning the work of the Diocese and the Parish as various topics were presented and discussed. Lat er on during the same evening, the A. Y . P . A. under -th e leadership of Mr. Garrett, provided a jolly entertainment for both the men and the women of the congregation. Lantern slides on the \vork in Al goma w ere shown and explained befor e the meeting disp er sed. During October the Dishon visited most of t1t e 1ni ~ ~ions in Algoma Deanery, and on October 14th the D ean er y Conference was held in Sault Ste. lVIarie at which the E xecutive C' om rnittec and the Deanery discussed the problems of apportionments. Harvest services are always orcasions fnr worshir> and sineere thanksgiving. The Bishop gave "Thanksgiving" addresses at Holy Trinity, Tarentorus, and also at St. John 's Chur ch , Hilton Beach. Dean Wright was the special preach er at H arvest services at Em~ manue1! Church, Richards' Landing, and Ho1y 'Trinity Church, Jocelyn. On October ] 9th the Bisl1op visited flt e missions of B lind Hiver, the Spanish River Indian R eserve and l\[assey. Tt was Ch ildren's Day and Youth Sunday, which pr ovided a snitah1 e topic for the addresses. The funeral of an Indian infant at the Spanish River Reserve viras a most tonching event and the Bishon used the oc casion to speak of the Heavenly Father's love to all the children, living and departed. On the follovving l\[onday the Rev. R . K. Bamber and th e Bishop were conducted through the l\/[ cF adden Lumber Mills at Blind River, which ar e among the most up-to-date in Canada. On Sunday, October 25th, the Bishop administered the Apostolic Rite of Confirmation in Desbarats and Bruce }\/fines to classes pre sented by the Rev. Henry Peeling. He spent part of the SundaY ..j 'ivith the Rev. J . C. Popey at Thessalon. celebrating at 8 . a.m. and preaching at 11. A group of faithful Church p e op~e gathered to gether on a r ainy Monday morning jn th little miss ion church ~t Rosebrook VaHey, and the Bishop spok e to them of confidence tn God and loyalty to the Ch11r ch in these cl iff icult cla~r s .
The Bishop preached at the service in St. Peter's Chur ch, Saublt8 Ste. Marie, arranged by the L ocal Council of the A. Y. P. A. on t subject of the A. Y. P. A. emblem, having Christ in the centre. }le THE ALGOMA MISSIONARY NEWS 77
also preached twice in St. Luke 's Pro-Cathedra;l on November ninth on subjects pertaining to Remembrance Day.
The Bishop's visitation of Nipissing Deanery began on All Saints' Day at Biscotasing about one hundred miles north west of Sudbury on the main line of the Canadian Pacific. For many years there has been a faithful band of Church people in this community, -vvhich has recently come into greater prominence through its proximity to the Jerome Mine. Planes from Biscotasing carry miners to and from the mine thirty miles away over wild bush country. The Bishop did not visit the mine as it happens to be over the height of land and hence it is in theDioces.e of Moosonee. The Rev. A. ~r. Bull of Coniston visits Biscotasing once a month, b'.lt on All Sajnts' Day the Bishop took his place and celebrated the Holy Communion at St. J ohn's Church at 10 a.m. and read Evening Prayer at 6.45. It rained heavily all day but the Bishop managed to visit most of the Church families before the night train left for Sudbury.
r:rh e first Sunday in N ovemuer was an important one in Sudbury as the corner stone of the new Parish Hall was laid on that day. 'l'he Bishop dedicated several gifts in the Church of the Epiphany which will add to the beauty of the services of worship. The Chapel of the Resurrection was crowded to capacity for a service at four o'clbck in the afternoon and suitable reference vvas made to the departure of the Rev. Harold Shaw to his new field of labour in St. Simon 's Church, r::roronto. rrhe Bishop preacbed at this service and abo at St. John':::; Church, Copper Cliff, in the evening.
On Monday Rural Dean rrucker and the Bishop drove to Cache Ray and Sturgeon :B'alls, where with Rev. Cyril Goodier he visited )~~er al parishioners, and a very satisfactory day ended with a beau tiful Evensong. Markstay ·was another point visited in Nipissing Deanery, while Powassan, Capreol, Falconbridge and Garson had been visited earlier in the year.
On "Stir Up" Sunday a large number of communicants worship ped with the Bishop at the early Celebrations of the Holy Eucharist at St. John's Church, North Bay. At a later service a class of forty ~hve was presented for Confirmation by the Rev. W. vV. Jarvis, and e Bishop spoke to them about the message of "Stir Up" Sunday ~~rela ted to Confirmation. On the same Sunday evening St. Brice's th lUrch ''ras visited, and it is gratifying to find the laymen under L e leadership of Mr. Gosse cooperating splendidly with the Rev; · C. R owell in trying to deal with difficult financial prnblems.
at A. Very well attended and most enthusiastic conference was held ati Copp er Cliff early in N ~v~m?er when ?lerical and la! represeJ~t te Ves of the Deanery of N1p1ssmg met vnth the Executive Commit otf of the Diocese to. discuss apportionments for 19i2, as well as ler matters which had to do with the welfare of the Church. 78 1'HE ALGOMA MISSIONARY NE,WS

The building is of frame, with clapboard siding, and is thor oughly insulated. It has a combined living and dining room, two bedrooms, bathroom, small hall and kitchen. rrhe floors are of hard wood. rrhere is a spacious attic, which has a finished ftoor and can be u sed for storage or later finished 1vith rooms.

This address is important because it was made important by the whole street. Not only Anglicans but · United Churchmen, Roman Catholics, three Presbyterians and a Jew turned out to celebrate the opening of Number Seven Oliver Street. In fact the whole thing was planned by a United Churchman and his wife as a friendly gesture and a happy and unique gesture it was. You see, Oliver Street is a short, friendly quiet little street and those who live on it bke to vire lcome a new neighbour. Well then, Number Seven is established as the ne-vv rectory at Copper Cliff. It was built for about $4,000 from the proceeds of the sale of the old rectory. No need to shed any tears here. The old plac e was a down-at-the-heel structure, of the pretentious well kno wn "THIS IS THE RECTORY" type. Such white elephants abound throughout this land of hard winters. 'rhey are - we hope - ravidly and blessedly disappearing, either through the process of delayed decay or the justified rebellion of frozen purse-poor (be cause fuel-robbed) clergy. You know, the old houses with barn-like rooms, lofty ceilings, faulty plumbing and faultier wiring -- houses that impressed no one but the contractor, the coal dealer and the poor parson 1vhen he came to pay the fuel bills. 'rhe new rector)' at Copper Cliff is a fine up-to-date unpretentious bungalow that neatly suggests economy, good taste, efficien,cy and intelligent planning.

JOHN'S RECrr ORY, NEW LISKE ARD THE year 1941 marks a further step in the progress of St .•Tohn's P arish inN ew Liskeard. After the Consecration of the new Church by the Bishop of the diocese, in June, it -vvas felt that a new r ectory would be the next step in placing the church property of the parish in the best of condition. The old rectory constructed originally in 1906, and rebuilt fol- lowing a fire in 1926, was rather ou t of the ·way, old-fashioned, and required considerable repair; and with these points in mind a vestry meeting named a committee of three to proceed ,vith the details of purchasing a suitable lot and having a new rectory built. The lot chosen is situated almost directly opposite the church, a very favourable location. One member of the committee fo r mulated plans virhich combined convenience and compactness with good building practice. After some months of work the building has been completed. The ground :floor embodies a living-dining room combination of ample size, a study, kitchen and pantry, and vestibule. rr hree good sized bedrooms and bathroom are upstairs. The basement has fur nace, fuel and storage rooms, as virell as built -in tubs and washing facilities. Many clothes closets and utility cupboards. ar e placed conveniently throughout the house. Mr s. Turner has ve1·y tastefully decorated the house to comple- ment the permanent interior decorations and fixtures, and the re· sult is very pleasing. The exterior of the house is of brick siding and when some land· scaping has been done -vvill also present a very favourable appear- ance. This addition to the parish property represents a very great step forward in the history of the Church of St. John in New Tiiskeard. CLERICAL CHANGES A number of changes have taken place in the Diocese v.r ithin the past few months which have not yet been recorded in our pages. The R ev. R. H . F leming has moved from New Liskeard to take char ge of the Mission of Sundridge and South River. d, The Rev. Stephen Turner, for some years Rector of P arry Soun ._j has become Rector of N evv l..Jiskeard. The Rev. G. G. Peto of the lYiission of Murillo has t ak en char~e of the parish of Parry Sound. The R ev. L. C. Howell has removed from Coniston to becoJile Rector of St. Brice's, North Bay. 16. 8 The R ev. E. J . G. Tucker, for some years Rector of St. Br North Bay, has taken charge of the church in Copper Cliff. The Rev. A. J . Bruce, of Copper Cfiff, has removed to Gore The Rev. A. J . Bull, of Gore Bay, is novir in charge of t he of Coniston. THE ALGOMA MI,S.SION ARY NEWS 81 INDIAN DAY SCHOOLS Much has been f:laid and written concerning the vvork of the Indian I\esifhmtial Schools managed by the M.S.C.C., but little is appnrently known of the Indian Day Sch ools. These schools are maintained by the Indian Affairs Branch of the Department of Mines and Resources, but are managed by the Church of England in Canada. r:rhe purpose of this little article is to convey some measure of · informabon regarding these Day Schools. In the fi rst place these schools are located on t he Reservations of the Bands they serve, and therefore it is not necessary to break the ties between children and parents. ':Phe children come from their homes to the school each morning, and return to their homes each evening. It follows, therefore, that they carr y with them the atmo sphere of the schoolroom into their homes and into the daily lives of their parents and their older brothers and sisters. Because of this daily contact with their homes, the teacher in an Indian Day School has a great opportunity t o influence the lives of the Indians around him. Lessons in personal cleanliness, in the tidiness and brightness of surroundings and in the appreciation of the finer things of life taught in the schools, · both by admon ition and by example, do have their effect upon the home lives of the children of the school. Allo1v· me to give, at some length, a concrete example. rrhe children, in the school where the writer is a t eacher, bring their lunches to school each day. ':Phe teacher decided that a great opportunity was at hand to teach table etiquette to his charges.. He decided to give a luncheon regularly, once a month, and at that luncheon teach the children correct table manners. Setting up a table in the school-room, he laid it with elaborate car e. He put out a full array of silven,vare, showing the children the place for each piece, and explaining its use. \¥hen he had fulJ y prepared the meal in his kitchen at the rear of the schoolroom, the children 'Yere seated at tbe table and were served by the t eacher. The hlenu, on that first occasion, consisted of soup, salad, roast -meat and . vegetables, dessert and coffee (mostly milk). Standing near' the table the teacher showed the children the correct way to break read, t1nd to use a butter spreader. He explained the correct use of soup s.poons and salad forks, of knives and forks and spoons. ub sequcnt luncheons have sho·wn that the lessons 1vere well learnt and, frmn comments of the parents, the teacher knows that the ~n e th od s practiced at school are used at home. r:rhis and other mat ers are further spread by occasional entertaining of the parents and older brothers and sisters of the scholars in the home of the teacher. 82 THE/ ALGOMA MISSJDNARY NEIWS Concerning the regular curriculum of the schoolwork, the tea cher at this school finds the children very bright and attentive, quick to learn and of keen memory. The keen memory of the children is exhibited by the way in which they remember their les sons, especially the Bible stories, and their rapidity in learning hymns. Religious instruction is given daily, and the Service for Child ren is taken each morning and Family Prayer each evening'. On the fourth Monday in each month the teacher and scholars attend Divine Service in the church near the school, and the children are encouraged to attend the Sunday services held there every week. One advantage that the teacher at an Indian Day School has is that he is in constant close contact 'vith the adult Indians. F riend liness breaks down the natural shyness of the Indian, and an inter est in the Indian language stimulates friendliness in the Indian towards the White teacher. As the teacher is the dispenser of medical supplies to the In dians around him, he receives them into his home when they come for medicines and unguents. Thus a fine opportunit:v is afforded for a friendly chat, and the Indian can be encouraged to approach the teacher as a friend, an advisor, and a confidant. They can also be encouraged to come for instruction. Often the teacher is the local amanuensis. Here, on this Reserve, are a number of aclults who are unable to read or write. 'rhey are eager to learn. Others, ·who can read and write, are eager to further their education. 'ro help these adults the teacher has decided to· hold evening classes in the school twice a week, beginning on January 8th. Some who read this may be desirous of helping this w ork. I am sure that the teacher in any of these schools would be gTateful for books wherevirith to start a library for use, not only by the children, but by the adults also; for good magazines for distribution amongst the adults; and for clothing for the chil dren who brave the rigours of the elements in tramping over the bush trails ,/ from their homes to school and back again. Lastly, may I ask for the prayers of the people, in their homes and in their churches on behalf of the parents, the scholars, and especially the teachers. Sometimes the teachers, because of the remoteness of the schools, are yery lonely. -C. G. Kehler. THE AL;GQMA MLSISION ARY NEWS SPANISH RIVER INDIAN RESERVE QN Sunday morning, October 19th, the Bishop of Algoma visited Massey, a town one hundred and thirty-seven miles east of Sault Ste. Marie. In the afternoon he and Rev. R. K. Bamber, the mis sionary in charge of Blind River and all points east as far as \¥ebb wood, drove three miles to the Spanish River Indian Reserve. As we were driving through a lane towards the river we stuck in the mud, down to the hubs and had to be hauled out by a farmer's team. \f\T e left the car on higher ground and walked down the lane through the mud to the water's edge where Douglas Sis senah, our Indian licensed Lay-reader, had a punt awaiting us, in which we crossed to the Indian Reserve. The Spanish River is quite 1vide there and the current fairly swift, so Douglas had to use his skill and his weight to land us safely a quarter mile up stream against the current. As -vve were crossing the river we noticed an Indian canoe being paddled up stream, and on the bow of it a box about three feet long and another box made out of rough lumber slightly larger than the other. When we reached the other side, we learned that an Indian baby had died, and they were bringing the body to t he church s.o that the child might be properly buried in the church yard on Sunday afternoon. So the episcopal visit turned into a funeral. · "\Ve said Evening Prayer, and Douglas Sissenah read the lesson fr?m the Burial Office in Ojibv.ray, and all the hymns were sun g in OJibway. The Bishop gave a brief address on "Children's Day", pointing out that Children's Day was being observed in this Re serve in a way probably quite different from that in any other church in Canada, in that the funeral reminded us all effectively of the love of our Heavenly Father for all the children. This little one was being taken into His loving care in a b etter land, and we should strive to have all the children learn more of Jesus and H is love in their everyday life. _The little casket was homemade, covered with pale blue cotton With lace insertion bound around the sides, and a little cross on top of the casket made of the same lace insertion. A little wooden ~r oss , decorated with artificial flowers, was carried in procession Ty the Indians. from the church to the grave, about three hundred J ards a1vay under jack-pine trees. The Bishop went along in the Proces'>ion, Douglas Sissenah carrying the Staff. The Rev. ·R. K. Bamb er read the rest of the Burial Office and took the commital. 84 THE ALGOMA MIS S IO ~ ARY NEWS PROGRESS IN THE DEANERY OF THUNDER BAY St. John's, Port Arthur- A FINE ne'iv rectory has just :been built next to the church. It is an eight-roomed house of brick and stucco co nstruction, with built-in garage and an air-conditioned hea ting plant. The work was begun on August 1st and completed by December 1st, 194·0 At the· same time the old parish hall 1vas r emodelled and en larged to make it practically a new building. lt is of brick veneer and the interior lined with wall board with panel finishing. It seats from two to three hundred, and has enlar ged accommodation for the choir, and a nevir cloak room. Jt is n0\1!T connect ed with the church by passageways on either side. Th e architect f :-r both rec tory and parish hall was :Mr. George Blanchard, a member of the parish. At the present time th e \'\Thole property is being improved and beautified by members of the con gr egn tion. St. George's, Port Arthur- A new sanctuary has been built and the eh nreb entirely r eclecor ated. ~"fhe sanctuary -vvas extended the fu ll widt l1 of the church, and finished in hard~v\r ood. A blue ·broadloom carpet extends from the Altar to the Communion r ail, and a gold dossal hangs behind the Altar, extending t o the ceiling. A n e~w choir entrance has been added outside the sanctuary, and the vestry enlarged to include this ne-vv entrance. A fine new vestment chest has been built, with sliding trays for each set. St. J\1:icheal's, Port Arthur- Ra ther extensive alterations have been made to this church. The recess that had been used as a sanctuary h c-1s been r emoved, and a sanctuary built in the church proper . New p ews have been in stalled, and a new chair for the sanctuary. A parish hall has been built on the back of the church, which serves as a vestry and Sun day School room. This 1vork has been clone through the efforts of Mr. H. H eight, the Lay Reader. St. Paul 's, F1ort \iVilliam- An excellent example of th e use that can be made of what other wise would 'be waste space is given by this parish. A small corner room, vvhich had been used as a store room, has been completely made over, a new floor laid and the walls redecorated. It now .. j serves as a r oom for small meetings, and has the advantage of be ing separated from the rest of the parish hall, thus ens.uring quiet n ess, despite other activities that may be going on. 'fhe room haS been named the "Edward King Room", after the fint r ector of the parish. St. Luke's, Fort \V illiam- In the past f ew years this parish has celebrated two anniver- saries of '"rhich they are justly proud. First they celebrated .the fiftieth anniversary of the coming of the first priest to the par1shj THE ALGOMA MISSIONARY NEW.S 85 and last year, at the Bishop's visitation, the fiftieth anniversary of the building of the church, at ·which the mortgage was burned. The parish is now completely free of debt. Previous to this the church had been redecorated, a new reredos installed as a memorial, and the basement improved. rrhe interior of the rectory had also been redecorated. St. Thomas, Fort \Villiam- The exterior of the church has been covered -vvith a 1vhite asbestos shingling which has greatly improved its appearance. The former parish hall has been sold and removed from the property. vVith this money a new vestry was built and a "mastic" flooring laid in the basement of the church, which is now used as the parish hall. Thus all activities are in one building, a great point of economy in this northern climate. St. James', Murillo- A fine new parish hall has been built in the town of Murillo. The church is situated t1YO miles outside the town, and this hall in the to" ·n greatly assists in the 1vor k of the mission. St. Mary's Nipigon_:_ A new foundation has been put in the church at Nipigon, and the interior and exterior redecorated. It is hoped that a new church for the town of Beardmore, part of this mission, will be built before lon g. ALGOMA YOUTH CONFERENCE S P RINGING directly from our Bishop's earnest desire to see an Algoma Youth Conference estalb]ished, 'plans have been laid for such a Conference this coming summer by the Committee appointed at the last Synod. It is hoped that this initial Conference 'vill be such a success that it will be permanently established as an annual feature in Algoma. The Conference " ·ill be held at \Vhitefish Falls, a beautiful place ~n the road to Manitoulin Island, and it will last from Sunday the bth July to Sunday the 12th. The programme wjll consist of worship (for which St. Augustine's Church forms an ideal setting), study, fellowship, games and entertainment. Outstanding leaders are being enlisted to conduct the courses in religion and worship, Sunday Sch ool methods, music, young· people's work, etc. The total cost, excepting transportation, for board and room for the full week's session 1vill be $10.00. It is hoped that a considerable n~m be r of bursaries of $10.00 each 1vill be provided by parishes and nnssi ons, and b~ · A. Y. P. A. and other Church groups, to enable a g:oodly number to take advantage of the Conference. Now is the hme to make plans for this. C :b'u]l information ma~· be obtained from the Secretary of the b onference, the Rev. \Y. \Y. J·arvis, Mcintyre Street West, North .oay, 8'6 THE ALGOMA MISSIONARY NEWS SUDBURY THE Bishop was a welcome visitor to the Parish of Sudbury on Sunday, November 2nd. He celebrated at the early Eucharist, and at the later service he preached, and dedicated gifts recently made to the church. These were, a fine set of altar curtains, a paten, and burses and veils. In the afternoon, in the presence of a large congregation, the Bishop laid the corner stone of the new parish hall. Owing to heavy rain most of the service was held indoors, but the rain held off long enough for the laying of the corner stone. In his address, the Bishop congratulated the Rector and -congregation', thanked the architect and contributors, and pointed out that the erection of the hall was a mark of vigour in the life of the parish. He noted that the foun dation was a sound one and pointed out that life not built on sound foundations cannot abide. He reminded the congregation that the new hall is connected with the church, and regarded this as a par able for all our activities. Later in the afternoon the Bishop made his first visit to the Chapel of the Resurrection in the west of the city. Evening Prayer was said, after which the Bishop preached ·and dedicated the many gifts made for Divine Service. Although the ""i;<;reather was unfortunate, the Bishop met capacity congregations at each engagement. He was assisted by the Rector, the Rev. P. R. Beattie, and the Rev. F. H. Shaw. On Sunday evening, November 2nd, a congregational meeting was held in the church hall after Eve11song to say farewell to the Rev. Harold Shaw, who has. returned to the Diocese of Toronto, where he is to work in St. Simon's parish in Toronto. The gathering was very largely attended. :J\!Ir. Shaw has been assistant priest at the Church of the Epiphany for over t""ivo years, and has. made many friends. Tribute was paid to his w ork especially in the Sunday School and among the young people by the vV ardens, :Mrs. H. 1\L Connolly, President of the W. A., and the Rector, who presided. The A. Y. P. A. and Junior A. Y. P. A. presented Mr. Shaw with a stole, and he was also the recipient of- gifts from other organiz ~ ations of the parish. \Ve wish Mr. Shaw every happiness and sue~ cess in his work in rroronto.

His Lordship congratulated the Rector, the architect, the building committee, the wardens, the finance committee, and all ·who had contributed to the building.

Under "edification" he spoke of the various parts of the building, the beautiful little chapel which -vvas the very heart of the structure, the sacristy where the vestments and sacred vessels could be properly cared for, the fine study for the Rector, and finally, as Christianity is concerned with the physical as well as the spiritual needs of mankind, a ·well equipped kitchen. Speak ing of the st;cond word, "education," His Lordship spoke of the importance of the religious training of the young, and said that the new parish hall would give the Church a wonderful opportun it;\r for carrying on this part of its work. And finally he spoke of the elevation of the m::nal s ~ andards of our time, ·which is one of the great tasks of the Church. In such crucial days as these we ·must do everything possible to elevate society, and the new hall, with all its social activjties and forms of service, 1vill help bring the social life of the contmunity to a higher level.

'1\Te are hoping to form a "Fello, "rrhose of us who have lived for years in the See City and knew the Archbishop have had a high privilege. ]j'or we were able, not only to admire his character and his noble qualities, but to enjoy his personal friendship. And that is a memory which many of us will cherish while life lasts. We recall his unfailing• courtesy, his kindliness, his sympathy, his sense of humour. It was my happiness to know him for t1;venty-five years of the thirty years of his episco pate, to work with him for nine of those years as his secretary, and to enjoy his friendship duri1]g his years of retirement. This has been a privilege for which I am deeply thankful. On the Feast of the Epiphany year by year we remember him at the Holy Eucharist. The Sacred Vessels used in this service bear the cross 1vhich he wore upon his breast and the ring 1vhich was the symbol of his dedication to the Church of Christ in this Diocese. At this service lYe recall his memory, we thank God for his life and labours, we offer on his behalf the ancient prayer of the Church: Eternal rest grant unto him, 0 Lord, And let light perpetual shine upon him; and we rededicate ourselves to the task of carrying on the -w ork -which was so dear to his heart."

Reunion can only be securely based on the Rock of the Christian Creeds. This point of vievir, though scarcely indicated in the report, seems to have been in the minds of some 'vho, I am told, were unable to make themselves heard. The fact is that Ecumenicity must b e based on the ancient Councils, the ancient Creeds and the ancient Dogma of the Chris- tian Church. 'fhis report does show a step forward in the ecumPnical move- ment, and it should be 'videly read and carefully pondered. It brings together in a convenient way a large amount of material, anP as the book becomes known it will be widely used in study circl s.

The Editor hereby offers the apology, and now for the explanation For some years pas.t the steady increase of work in the Synod Office has been such that it has become impossi1ble for the Secretary Treasurer of the Diocese to give sufficient attention to the dio cesan magazine, of which he is Editor and Business Manager, and the "A. M. N." has suffered in many ways. The matter is receiving the earnest consideration of the Bishop and other diocesan author- ities; and it is hoped that some plan may ·be evolved which will make it possible to resume more regular publication. In the mean time we can but do our best, and trust to the patience and forbear ance of our readers. A. Y. P, A, THE Sault Ste. Marie A. Y. P.A.
