'rHE NE\V BAPTISTERY AT T. PAUL'S, HAILEYBURY r:fHE MRMORY of the late William H. Lewi and Mr~. Lewi , for many years well-known residents of Haileybury, will be per­ petuated by the dedication on Sunday morning, Nov mber 15th, of three stained glass window· in the new Baptistery. Mr. and 1\'frs. Lewi were members of t. Paul · during the whole of their long r sidence in Hailey bury and took an acti' e part in the building of th former church; and the beautiful memorial '"ill be a testimony through the years to come o£ the e teem in which the) were held by th congregation. The baptis'tery adds oT eatly to the beauty of the church, and the first public baptism held within its walls follo" eel immediately after the dedication of the windows, when the infant son of Mr: and Mrs.· L lie McFarlane "as admitted to member hip in the Church of Chri t. 'l'h~ unveiling of the window · "'a performed by Hi Honour Judge Hayward, after the choir had 1 roceed d to the baptistery. Th Rector, Rev. Canon Hinck. onducte 1 the service of dedication, an l afterwards in his errnon referred to the lives of tho ·e in who. e m mory the beautiful windows had been placed in the church. rrhe central windo\-\ of the three depicts a figure of our l;ord, cro" ned and in kina-ly rob , bles ing a hri. tian ·warrior, who is kn eeling and looking up at Him with d votion. Above is a dove, emblematic of the Hol.) Spirit; and b neath the inscription "Be thou faithful unto death and I will o·ive thee a crown of life." The window on the . outh . ide has the fi.o·ur e of a a-uardian angel with a word, and the inscription, '' rrh ir anO' ] do always behold the face of My Father which is in heaven. ' That on the north shows an angel holdino· out a palm, and th words, '' rrhanks be to God which giveth us the victory." On the previous Sunday, at the ervic of Remembrance, there had b en presented and dedicated a silver ewer for the baptistery. Thi · was the gift of Mr. and lVIr . H. A. eymour in memory of two brothers of Mr. eymour who laid down their lives in the great war. The dedication ceremony was conducted by the Rector just before the sermon when the choir proceeded to th baptistery, Wh ere the evirer was presented by Mr. eymour. rrhe service was mark d by special hymns and lesson , and the· reading of the names of the men from St. Paul's -vvho gave their lives. The theme of Remembrance was carried out throuO'h the sermon and the whole ervic , and a solo by Mr. Seymour "The Supreme Sacr!fice ' lent an added impres ·ivene . - From "rl'he Haileyburian '.

Q.N ·MONDAY. Augu::;t 17th, the Bishop and Mrs. Rocks boro-ugh Smith paid a short visit to the Rev. C. J. S. Stuart, Rector of t. Thomas' Church, 'foronto, who was summering at \¥indermere, ctnd from there motored to Ullswater for a ~onfirmation. Here 10 candidate \•Vere pre"ented by the Rector of Rossean. · 'rhe church was well filled. After the service the Bishop and his wife w~re driven to ROSSEAU and on Tuesday a Confirmation was held at the Church of the Redeemer, where the Rev. W. 'f. Swainson presented three candi­ dates, and again there was a good congregation. Mr. and Mrs. Swainson are doing a plendid work at Rosseau, and are greatly beloved. On Wednesday, the 19th, an early start was made for Gravenhurst, and from there the episcopal party took train for BURK'S FALLS where a Confirmation was held the same evening, 4 candidates be­ ing presented by the Rev. G. H. Phillips. The Rev. Edwin Wright­ son and Mr. B. H. Wood, a summer catechist, were also present. After the service a reception was held in the new parish hall, and there was abundant evidence of the esteem in which Mr. and Mrs. Phillips are held, and of the hold they have obtained on the hearts of the parishioners. On Friday a trip was made by steamer up the beautiful Ma()'anatawan River to the Village of .MAGAN ATA WAN wh re Mr. E. H. Burridge is doing faithful and effective work. From here the party drove to Broadbent where the church has been reshingled and repainted. The Bishop and those with him were entertained by Mrs. Fisher and her father, Mr. Bartlett, who is one of_ the old pioneers, having come to the district over fifty years ago. Her e two adults were baptized and five candidates (including those ne'' ly baptized) were confirmed. The Bishop then returned to Mao·anatawan, ·where he and Mrs. Rocks·borough Smith and the Rural Dean were welcomed by Dr. and Mrs. Freeborn whose hos­ pitality is famous in the District, and who always extend a warm welcome to the Bishop and clergy on their visits. In the evening five per ons were confirmed. On Friday the Bishop motored to SPRUCED ALE where the Rev. R. K. Bamber is doing most effective work, and Con­ firmation was administered to three candidates in the beautiful little Church of St. Paul, \vhich was crowded. On Saturday the 22nd His Lordship, Mrs. Rocksborou()'h Smith and the Rural Dean drove to BA YSVILLE MISSION and on Sunday morning the Bishop confirmed three candidates the beautiful little summer church at Norway Point, which has built and furuished through the indefatiO'able efforts of -the Rev. 115

'. \Y arder. Again there was a crov\ ded congregation. In the after­ noon a trip was made to another summer church, St. John's, ~-,ox t>oint, in charge for the summer of the Rev. E. R. Nornabell, who has done splendid work among the tourists in this district. 'rhe Hi ·hop preached to a crowded congregation on the meaning and .· igm:b.cance o± the Catholic Church. :B 'rom Fox Point return was mad to BRA EBRIDGE ".her the Rev. J. 8. Smedley presented a class of 14 candidates. Th er e '~a ::; a large congregation, and the service, the singing and the ct lclresses all seemed to .invite us to lift up our hearts unto the Lord in thanksgiving for the many privileges bestowed upon us in His l'h urch. ~ 1 rom Sunday evening until Wednesday the Bishop and hi · wife were the guest of l\IIr . Sadler and the Cowley Fathers. During this time Confirmations were held at V ANKOUGHNET AND PURBROOK with 12 and 15 candidates respectively. 'rhe work done in these places by the Cowley }1--,athers is beyond all praise. Congregations have been gathered together and kept together, both churches have lJ n restored and renovated, and the re ponse of the people in both di tricts to the teaching of the Fathers has been marvellous. It is almost impossible adequately to describe the value of their work. From Wednesday till Friday the Bishop rested from his strenuous labours in Gravenhurst, and then started on the first stage of his homeward journe3. He stopped en route at PORT YDNEY for a Confirmation, and on Sunday, August 30th, 13 candidates ·\\ er presented by the Rev. E. F. Pinnington, and the church was \\' 11 filled with re ident and summer visitor . During his stay at Port Sydney the Bishop paid a much appreciated visit to the Si ter of St. John the Divine, '' ho have a summer· rest home in thi.· beautiful little holiday re ort. On Sunday afternoon a Confi.rm­ at]on was held at EM DALE \\'h -n two candidate· were presented by the Rev. Edwin Wrightson. Major vVr.igbtson 's work in Emsdale and the surrounding district i. one presenting many difficulties owing to the nature of the scat­ tered congregations, and hi earne. t work in the face of much dis- ouragement cannot be too highly commend d. In the evening of the . ame day a onfirmation was held at ALL AI:N T , HU TSVILLE 'rher 16 candidates were pr sented by the Rev. W. F. Smith. Once ~11 or there wa a crowded congregation and beautiful singing; and 111 pite of an already strenuous day the Bishop gave two moving and instructive addresse.. Mr. Smith is to be congratulated on the sue . of his mini tr.'· in Huntsville, a uccess which is attested by th 11 umber of healthy parish orf)'anizations. The Rev. L. Sinclair wa · al o present at thi service. Earl~' on :Monday morning th Bishop l\fr . Rock borough Smith 31~d their younger .·on left for home. During the whole of the month Wi th the ex eption of two or three days, the Bishop was continuou.sly 116

IN l\'lEMORY of the Rio·ht Rev. F. D.

Marie, on Sunday eve­ ning, December 6th. 'l'he . ervice wa ·onducted by the Lord Bishop of the Diocese, the le ·on· w e 1~e read by the Rev. C. F . Hives, Prin­ cipal of the Home, and an addre ~· was o·iven by the R v. Canon Colloton, dealino· ''vith th life and \YOrk of Alo·oma' pioneer Bishop, who in the eight years of his ~hort epi copate, in the fac of. the greatest difficulties and eli co uraO'em nt , w ll and truly laid the foundations of diocesan organization, and welded toO'ether the few scattered missions of that time into a unit with a trono· diocesan consciousness. There was a large congreo·ation on. .i stinO' of the older Indian children of the Shino·wauk Hom , and a co nsiderable number of friends from the ault, who braved a v I'.'' stormy nio·ht in order to be present. The Chap 1, on of th most beautiful little churches in the dio­ cese, has r cently b en r eshino·led, and th interior restored and redecorated. On the followi1J_g morn in o· the anniv r. ar.r of Bish p Fa nqnier 's death. a Requiem "·as held in th e hapel at Bi hophnr t, the Bi hop being the celebrant. In response to several r qu t th e address d livere l at the mem­ orial service is printed her with. THE DDRE .. W E HAVE met too·eth er thi. venino· for a twofold purpo e. First, we hav come to join in the worship of God, to whose glory and to whose service thi b autiful chap 1 wa. . olemnl.'· set apart and consecrated many y ars ago· and in th second place, we have come to recall to our minds the lif and work of the one in whose memory this chap 1 i. dedicated, the Right Rever end Frederick Dawson Fauquier, the fir. t Bi hop of th Dioce · of Algoma, who passed to his re t ju.t fift.· .'. ar. ago tomorrow and who.·e body lies in th little buryino· groun 1 ·o close at hand. We should be ungrateful inde d. and unworthy of the spiritual blessings "e now enjoy if we allowed to 1 a.. into forgetfulness the name of those who hav in th . Jays that are pa t devoted their lives to establi h the hur h of J su hri. t in the Diocese of Algoma. Others hav labour cl, and w ha' enter d into their labours. And among tho. e who e names w hould recall with gratitucl as w ·o·o about our ta. k of bnilcli.nO' upon the foundations THE ALGOMA MISSIONARY NEWS 119 which they laid, there is none more worthy of our grateful remem­ brance that that of the first Bishop of Algoma. Frederick Daw·son Fauquier was born in 1817 in Malta, that famo us little island in the Mediterranean Sea, which is memorable, among other things, as being the place where St. Paul was ship­ wrecked, while on his way to Rome as a prisoner. He was educated in England, and when nineteen years of age came to Canada to e11gage in farming, and with some friends settled in the Township of Zorra, near London. On the farm ·which he then purchased, and "·hich for some years he worked successfully, he lived until he left it to become Bishop of Algoma, about thirty-seven years afterwards. One of Mr. Fauquier 's neighbours, Mr. Hungerford, a very loyal Churchman and a man of means, had built a little church for · the use of his own family and the people of the neighbourhood; and hi .· son, who was_a clergyman, ministered to this little congregation purely as a labour of love. In this church Frederick Fauquier was a constant and devout worshipper. After some years Mr. Hunger· ford decided to return with his family to England, and it was then that his son urged upon Mr. Fauquier that he should study for Holy Orders, !';O that ~he people 9f Zorra might continue to have the ministrations of the Church. He consented, and after a period of training at the old 'rheological College at Cobourg, he was or­ dained deacon and priest in 1845-6 by Bishop Strachan of Toronto. He then went back to Zorra, where he served the same congregation for twenty-eight years. He was respected and loved not only in his little parish but throughout the Diocese of Huron and beyond its borders. One who kne·w him well, said, ''If we have a saint in the Diocese, it is ~.,auquier." And it was no surprise when Bishop Hellmuth of Huron, recognizing his worth, appointed him Archdeacon of Brant. When the Missionary Diocese of Algoma was formed in 1873, the Provinci~l Synod elected Archdeacon Fauquier as its first Bishop. In accepting the call he faced a heavy task. 'rhe new Diocese was little more than a wilderness, with only a few miles of railway w~thin its borders. Travel had to be mostly by steamer or canoe, and in many places, especially in Muskoka and Parry Sound, the roads were so bad that some of the settlements could only be visited in winter, when the snow made them passable. There were only seven clergymen in the whole Diocese, three of them ~n deacon's orders. There were nine churches, of which four were in a very unfinished state and more or les encumbered v,rith debt, and only one parsonage. These difficulties a lone might have daunted a less courageous man, but in addition to this the new Bishop found on taking charge of his Diocese that no provision whatever had been made to secure funds to pay the missionaries under him. All the Provincial Synod had pledged itself to do was to pay the salary of the Bishop.

He "vas the unfailino· friend of the Shing,~r auk HoJlle, and in com­ pany with hi friend, Bishop H ellmuth of Huron, h formally opened the· Home in 1875. Later he took the deepest interest in the vVawa­ no h Home for Indian o·irl · built north of the Sault. H e opened the Lake Nipio· on Mi sion, whi h mini ter ed to a band of Indians who had waited n early thirty ~ ·e ar for the missionary who had been promised them b~· a r epresentative of the Government, a promise which had been forgotten by all except the Indians. Eight year wer e . pent in the e nnceasino· labours. And added to the physical hard hip ther e wer e many anxieties.

And there were per. onal a nd dome ·tic anxieti ·,-for Mrs. Fauquier was an invalid and a co nstant suffer er . ~nd th e t houo·ht. of this must have been very hard f or the Bishop to bear on' his ldno· absences from home. Finally the . train be a me too oTeaf to be borne. Jn Novem­ ber, 188 1, Mrs. F auquier wa 'caUed to 1'1. r r est, after years of suf­ fering: at Mount\ crnon, New York, wh er e she had been taken to seek some r elief. And le_s than fi.Y e week aft ·rward the Bi. hop himself heard hi s Master 's voice sayino· ''\Nell done o·ood and faithful . ervant; enter th ou into th JOYd f thy Lord. " ' o . His ·work in Al g rna, : hort as :it wa , had not .been in vain. In spite of all th e difficnltie. and eli ·couragement he had encountered the work had prosper ed. At th e time of his death he left fifteen cl~r_ g,·men mini t crino- to .-o me ninety conoTegations; and there were in the Diocese thirty-six church · and . ix parsonao-es. Those were some of the vi.-ibl e r esult of hi. work, but the influence of his saintly life and hi nn s\\· et·ving devotion to duty was incalculable.

official trust, in the faee too of most formidable difficulties and dis­ couragement , constitute a priceless leO'acy for the Diocese over which he presided and in whose service he laid down his life. " The site of this chapel in which "ve are wor hipping this evening was chosen by Bishop Fauquier himself just a few months before his death. On the 1st of .July, 1881, he came, in company with all the Indian boys of the Shingwauk Home, in procession to thi spot, and solemnly dedicated the site to the wor. hip of Almighty God. 'rhen. while . orne verses of "The Church' One Foundation" were suno·,' each of the boys placed a stone on the line marked out for t he walls, as a pledge that they would all assist in the building of t he chapel, and this pledge they later faithfully . fulfilled. But before the building could be even commenced, the Bishop was called to his rest. In less than two years, however, through the exertions of the Rev. Edward F. Wilson, the founder and first PI_'incipal of the Home, the chapel was completed and free of debt; and on a Sunday morning in August, 1883, it '"a consecrated by Bishop Sullivan. At that rvice he preached an eloquent and beautiful ermon .from the text, ''Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints." May I quote one paragraph, which gives a pic~~re ' of Bishop Fau­ quier 's apostolic labours throughout the length and breadth of this va t Diocese. After speaking of his constant anxiety for his suf­ fering wife, Bishop Sullivan proceeded : .''Yet never once did these . trong domestic claims succeed in drawing him from hi appointed duties. The most distant missions were none the less faithfully visited. For not merely days but weeks toO'ether he journeyed to and fro, discharginO' his apostolic office, caring for the spiritual wellbeing of the few scattered sheep in the wilderness, baptizing their children, laying holy hands on the heads of } ouno· men and maidens, deliverinO' God's message of peace from the pulpit, drop­ ping words of counsel and of kindness in the daily round of private in ter course, which have made his name a household word, and his pi ture a much-prized treasure, in multitudes of home to AlO'oma' utmo t boundaries. \Vell may the 'Children of the Fore t' treasure UJ his memory. Well may we dedicate to that memory a goodly anctuary such as this, built sp cially, though not exclusively, for their children."

'l~ hough Mrs. Fauquier had died in the United States ann the Bi. hop in Toronto, it wa · planned that a. soon as possible their bodi s should be brouO'ht here for burial. And o in the followinO' · Pring preparations were made. That beautiful path throuO'h the fore t, which we all know so well, which leads to the little cemetery, had to be cleared and levelled, for it was blocked in place by larg-e bould rs and pine stumps. 'rhre or four of the older boys under­ took t his work. Their leader wa Vlilliam Sahgucheway, one of the fine t and most promising lads who ever pa sed through the Shing­ Wauk Home, a true . ervant of .Jesus Christ, and a wonderful inft.u­ en for good ;unong hi· companions.

DEAN RENISON ELECrrED BISHOP OF ArrHABASCA

ALGOMA has a special interest in one of the recent elections to the Canadian Episcopate. On Septem'ber 30th the Provincial :vnod of Rupert's Land elected the Very Rev. Robert John Renison, M.A., D.D., Dean of Christ Church Cathedral, Vancouver, to become Bishop of Athabasca. Dr. Renison is a son of the late Rev. Robert Renison, who laboured in the Lake Nipigon Mission in this Diocese from 1880 to 1894, and then became priest-in-charge of St. Luke's Pro-Cathedral, Sault Ste. -Marie, a position which he held for about four years, when he r emoved to the United States. Th e Bishop-elect was born at Cashel, Co. 11 ipperary, Ireland, in J 75. He was. educated at Trinity College School, Port Hope, the 1 niversity of Toronto and Wycliffe College. He worked as a mis- ionary at Moose Fort and Fort Albany on Hudson's Bay, and be­ came Archdeacon of Moosonee in 1907. Later he was appointed Rec tor of the Church of the Ascension, Hamilton, moving from there to Vancouver about four year s ago. The Diocese of Algoma extends congratulations to Dr. Renison :vith every good wish for a lono-, happy and successful episcopate In his important missionary diocese.

On Thursday, November 19th, the Bishop, at the request of the .. ·Lad.) Principal, read the morning prayers at Havergal College, Tor­ -'Onto; ·and immediately aften~rards gave an illustraterl lee.tnre on Bn t· ma, which wa much enjoy c1 b.) the students. . 128 THE ~L GOl\1A MISSIONARY NEWS

INDU 'riON A'r ST. JOHN'S, NEvV J.JJ KEARD

O NE YEAR having _e lap~ ed since the Lord Bishop of Algoma officially opened the nevv Church of St. John the Evangelist, New Liskeard, services of commemoration were held on W dnesday, Noyember 4th. There was a well attended celebration of Holy Communion at 9.30 a.m., and a large congregation attended the choral EvensonO' at eight o 'clock. Immediately preceding Evensong, the Rev. Canon Hincks, Rural Dean of Temiskaming, acting for the Bishop, inducted the Rev. Eric A. Irwin, L.S.T. , as Rector of the parish, after the Rev. Charles Glover, of obalt, had r ead the Bishop s mandate of induction. Canon Hincks, in a very thouO'htful sermon spoke earne tly of the Church' opportunities in this growing northern town, pointing out the beauties of the new Temple of God, and r eminding both the Rector and the Church people of the parish, of the solemn obli­ gations r sting upon them to help forward the growth of pure · reliO'ion and real Christian fellowship. Before the vening service (from six to seven-thirty) the members of St. 'J ohn's Branch of the Woman's Auxiliary served an excellent supper , which was enjoyed by almost two hundred people.

INDUCTION AT S'r. JAMES ' CHUR H, COBALT O N WEDNE DAY, November 18th, the Rev. harles Glover, B.A., L.S.T., was formally inducted as Rector of the Parish of Cobalt in St. James' Church in that town. The Rev. Canon Hincks, Rural Dean of Temiskaming, officiated, and the Rev. E . A. Irwin, who acted as locum tenens of the pari h for two months last summer, read the Bishop's mandate for the induction of the new Rector . A letter from the Bishop regrettino· his inability to be present was also read. The Rural Dean preached from Ephesians 4: 11-12, and spoke of the ministerial authority as on e which had come down through the ages from Christ Himself. The charge committed to the clergy was a very gr eat respon ibility, and it was required of them that they should be found faithful. 'rhe congTegation's duties, said Canon Hincks, were to listen to the message of Christ proclaimed by the minister , and to r eceive the means of grace of which he was the steward. They should be responsive to the ministrations of the ''slave of Chri t' '-as St. P aul used to call himself. The chief diffi­ culty of the clergy was that the people would not confide in them r egarding their spiritual ailments, but locked them up in their own hearts and check ed any imnulse to tell them to the one who was appointed to help them. 'rhe people should co-operate with the clergyman, ther eby helping to develop their own spiritual lives anrl to bring . about the fulfilment of the purpose of Christ. Dm·ing the ceremony th e keys of the church were handed to the Rector by the \Vardens, Messrs. H . E . Tomney and A. \V. J effries. The ·ervice was followed by an enjoyable social hour.

SHINGWAUK GIRL GUIDES

The Shingwauk Home Girl Guides, under the command of Mrs. C. F. Hives and her lieutenant, Miss E . Hewer, spent a very enjoy­ able field day recently on t'he grounds of the Rev. Canon Johnston at Garden River. 'rhe weather being all that could be desired added O'reatly to the success which decidedly attended the first of their ''hikes'' since their organization. 'fhe programme was so well prepared that there was not a minute· of the day when time lagged. 'fhrough 11he kindness of the Marsh air Motors the girls were taken to Garden River. in a large motor truck; and as they drove along, the bumps of the ride were unnoticed and t he air was filled with shrieks of laughter and song, giving evidence t hat the spirit of young life and enjoyment was in command. On their arrival at the sunny slopes of the St. Mary's River, each patrol was detailed to some special duty. The Robin Patrol heid the keys to the culinary department, where the wieners, eggs, jam, etc., v;rere kept. The Blue Bird Patrol's special duty was to keep the pots boiling. The Canaries had to rustle wood and pack it in, and the Swallo·w Patrol distinguished itself by organizing games. After the last of the wieners had disappeared as all wieners do, the girls gave themselves up to games of various kinds, while their kindly host and hostess, Canon and Mrs. Johnston, watched with keen inter~st. Then came the drills and exercises in which the girls took part with all the vigour and snap that attends young woman­ hood. At last the time for departure came, and with three rousing ·heers for the Canon and his dear and kindly wife, they scrambled over the sides of the truck and sped away home, very tired. and very happy. -''The Living Message''.

The chool is divided into five O'roup;s,-adults, senior, junior, primary and beginners. 'fhe work has grown so rapidly that ·we are now beO'i1ming to be worried over finances and it i · estimated that at least $400 a year will be required for l~sson Papers, postage, printing, etc. There are no orO'anization expenses of course, as Mr. Major and his friend are doing the work as a labour of love for hrist and His Crurch.
