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, "The History of the Diocese of Montreal," 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 "Vade Mecum" and Book of Reference for succeeding generations.

    "The Conference on Christian Unity Toronto, 1889," Canadian

    The Conference on Christian Unity, Toronto, 1889 THOMAS R. MILLMAN EW would wish to dispute Archbishop Temple's declaration made at Fhis consecration in 1942 that the world fellowship which has come into being through the Ecumenical Movement is "the great new fact of our era." Yet the progress of the Movement and the creation of the fellowship in the twentieth century was rendered possible by thought and action on the part of nineteenth century Christians. Numbered among these pioneers of unity were leaders of the Canadian churches. I Actual legal establishment of the Church of England in several British North American provinces, and the claim to such establishment in others, brought that Church into the arena of politics in the early part of the cen­ tury, and made cooperation difficult between Anglicans and their neigh­ bours. But with the settlement of the Clergy Reserve problem in united Canada in 1854, the attainment of self-government through the granting of statutory right to meet in synod in 185 7, and the consequent severing of all connection between church and state, friendlier relations became possible. In 1850, for example, Bishop John Medley of Fredericton devoted a large part of his episcopal charge to his clergy to a discussion of unity, but he stated clearly his opinion that cooperation with non-episcopal bodies on a religious level was seldom possible. A quarter of a century later Bishop Ashton Oxenden of Montreal made a large-hearted plea for unity. In the course of a sermon preached in Hamilton, Ontario, he said: "We must be prepared to make reasonable sacrifices if we would effect so great and glorious an object.

    Introduction

    1 Introduction Victorian England was religious. Its churches thrived and multiplied, its best minds brooded over divine metaphysic and argued about moral principle, its authors and painters and architects and poets seldom forgot that art and literature shadowed eternal truth or beauty, its legislators professed outward and often accepted inward allegiance to divine law, and its men of empire ascribed national greatness to the providence of God and Protestant faith. The Victorians changed the face of the world because they were assured. Untroubled by doubt whether Europe’s civilization and politics were suited to Africa or Asia, they saw vast opportunities open to energy and enterprise, and identified progress with the spread of English intelligence and English industry. They confidently used the word English to describe Scots and Welsh and Irish. Part of their confidence was money, a people of increasing wealth and prosperity, an ocean of retreating horizons. And part was of the soul. God is; and we are his servants, and under his care, we will do our duty. Owen Chadwick, The Victorian Church. Volume 1, p. 1. 2 wen Chadwick’s monumental work, The Victorian Church, is ‘a story of the recovery of the Church of England from the low level allegedly reached O in the eighteenth century’.1 As an historian, Chadwick certainly did his duty; no-one since has attempted such an undertaking.2 His study stands both at the end of one era and at the beginning of another. The triumphalism of his vision provides an overwhelmingly positive construction of the Victorian period. Perhaps it was the history Britain needed to read with the Second World War not too far behind them.

Where the Author has availed him- self of the labours of his predecessors, their authority is quoted. Having been indulged with such liberal access to the public offices, he has, in all matters of record, con- sulted and referred to the originals, whence he has ob- tained many particulars hitherto unpublished. The descent of property, through the liberality of the pre- sent owners, has been continued.

  • Introduction to Kilpin's Portraits by Sonia Lochner

    Introduction to Kilpin's Portraits by Sonia Lochner

    Introduction to Kilpin's Portraits By Sonia Lochner It is not surprising that a considerable portion of Kilpin's surviving oeuvre is in the form of single portraits. For centuries in England patronage meant portraiture. This preference for portraits continued to be characteristic of the British colonies in North America. Artists had a better chance of earning a comfortable income painting commissioned portraits than creating other types of artwork. Portraits celebrated the sitter's social or political status, marriage and family ties, and at times memorialized the sitter after death. Furthermore there was no greater set of challenges or opportunities for painters than creating portraits. It called on artists' skills in painting and drawing, and it allowed them to delve into the personality of their models. Portraiture also tested the artist's ability to capture a likeness, an important requisite of a good portrait. In self portraits sitter and artist are one, and we can presume that no commission existed. In his self portraits Kilpin was free to paint himself exactly as he chose. Kilpin's earliest known portrait is probably the small Self Portrait of 1876, an early surviving sketch in oils, a work that reveals a youthful uncertainty. In a later self portrait of 1913 Kilpin chose to paint himself as a respectable middle-class professional instead of a painter who holds a brush and dons everyday work clothes. Rather, Kilpin's own face is the most focussed part of the composition. Kilpin's clientele was drawn mostly from a small circle of friends and acquaintances in the professional and artistic worlds, and from members of his immediate family.
