The Anglican Church's Loss

The funeral takes place today in Halifax of Archbishop Hat-Kinlcy who has in turn been Coadjtitor-Bisliop, Bishop and Archbishop 0f Nova Scotia and this Province. In addition since 193i) he had been Metropolitan of the Ec- clesiastical Province of Canada, which is the equivalent in this land of the Archbishopric of Canterbury. The Archbishop has been long and favourably known here, and has done much to develop the organization of the Church of Iingland lll our midst. When by the Treaty of lfoiitaincblcau, signed Iiebruary 10. I753. ihfl lslaiiil m‘ St. _Iuh|1 was formally ceded to Great Britain, the "Church of Iingland and Ireland" as by law established. became ipso facto, its re- cognized form of religion. Yet when Captain Holland landed hcre thc following year he found no English people, and only 30 Acadian families, all the others llilVlllg been deported. (lradually the Island was colonized by New England fishermen, small acccsioiis of settlers, principally refugees, and disbanded soldiers, but it was not till 1769 that George III "in his pious concern for the advancement of God's glory" ordered that £100 (or $500) be appor- iioiied for the stipend of a clergyman, and in August o1 that year, appointed by his royal war- rant, the Rev. John Caulfield, clerk-rector of the parish of Charlotte. But, while no doubt drawing the stipend, as was customary in those days, he never came to the Island. A similar appointee to a. chaplaincy to the Governor in the person of Rev. R. Grant, failed to material- ize, it being recognized from the first as a siii- ecure. It was not till 1773 that the first Church of England clergyman visited the Island, a Rev. John Eagleson, stationed at Fort Cumberland,

S. who was paid £35. 10s. for services at Charlottetown, St. Peter's, Stanhope, Tracadie, Malpeque and Princeton. From then on the Church made tremendous strides and progress, until the Mother Church decided that it had no direct responsibility for colonial churches of their denomination, the Church's establishment being confined to England and Ireland. Hence- forth the Church in the Maritimes had to look after their own organization, and right worthily they assumed the responsibility. The members of the Church here endeavoured unsuccessfully to have a. bishop of their own bitt have had to be satisfied with sharing in the bishopric of Nova Scotia.

Archbishop I-IacKinley faithfully discharged these duties, and will long be remembered as an able administrator, a devoted Churchman, and a faithful propagandist of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

_—Jusi In Case

In line with suspicions voiced by some of the speakers at the recent annual meeting of the Queen's County Progressive Conservative As- sociation is an editorial in the Monetary Times, predicting that the next Dominion election may come "sooner than later." The contingent pos- sibilities, says the Times, are clear in the light of the speech ivhich Mr. Mackenzie King de- livered before the advisory council of the Na- tioi-ial Liberal Federation in Ottawa. To read it, superficially, would suggest the idea that an election, before the tenure of the present Parlia- ment expires-unless happily the war should end in the meantime-would be a matter of great repugnance to the Prime Minister. But, a: any careful reader might observe, there were so many qualifying conditions that, if Mr.

at any time. To conform to all or any nf his prescriptions would need only the repetition of things which have occurred already, as ntuch in his own government, or among his own fol- lowers, as those of his opponents. W-henever he may wish to escape, or go from the present House to the people, the exits’ are as spacious as they arc apparent. The country can only watch and wait.

In such circumstances, it is prudence on the part of Opposition parties to have their candi- dates ready tn place in the field. This is the purpose of thc Queen's County Conservative convention on Nov. 25. There is reportedly a large slate of candidates to choose from, which is no doubt a reflection of the general feeling that thc Ring (icvei-utnent is on the way out, that it has failed to tncasure up to the demands for leadership and statcsinanship, and that the most likely administration to succeed it after the election will be one led by the Hon. John Bracken.

For The rim Tim;

"Not for thc first time, Mr. Winch, B.C., C.C.l". lczitlcr, has embarrassed the federal high comuiiiiid of the Socialist party." says the Mon- treal (iazctlc. "M. ‘l. Coldwell, i\l.l’., national leader, has had to make a statement following Mr. \\"inch's threats to ‘scrap the BN.A. Act"- a shattering shnvk to thc eggs on which the C.C.F- is sitting in Quebec. Whenever Mr. Coldwell Uses the word ‘revolution’ he always adds ‘in thc dictionary sense,’ a phrase evidently in- tended to take the poison out of it.' Mr. Cold- well. whose greatest political assets are his per- sonal charm and his safc-aml-satie appearance. is an upiislv of gradualisnt. \\'c d0 not doubt Mr. CwltlivcllYs personal sincerity in these pro- fessions. nor his personal devotion to the ideals and processes of democracy.

like any other criminal’. Socialist theorists, from Bernard Shaw to Harold Laski, concede this necessity. Mr. Winch, bluntly frank. looks forward to the prospect without reluct- ance, even with lively anticipation."

- EDITORIAL NOTES ,-

As a delegation of Canadian editors intend visiting Britain early next year to ascertain “the application of the British people to the task of meeting their war responsibilities," it may be taken for granted the ind‘ is ‘not yet in sight.

Britain's new 36-seat airliner flew back from Montreal to England in 1o hours, 25 minutes, an average of 213 miles an hour, last Saturday. The journey completed the maiden roundtrip to Canada for the craft. Known as the York, she is designed with the wings and power units of a Lancaster bomber. '

Charges of murder have been laid against three Winnipeg juveniles who allegedly killed guard Edwin Pearse, 58, before escaping from a detention home. Two of the boys, aged 14 and I5, were recaptured while the other a I7- year-old, surrendered three hours after the guard had been beaten to death. The boys, when recaptured, were taken to police bead- quarters and later transferred to custody of juvenile Court authorities under separate guards.

Toronto police announce that Benoit de Mars, 24-year-old employee of the John Inglis Coni- pany, is being held on a nominal charge of theft in connection with the disappearance of “ex- tremely valuable” war equipment blueprints from the plant. The police are making a check-up of several other persons in con- nection with the case. An entire set of valu- able blueprints was stolen from the company. De Mars has been remanded by Magistrate Browne for one week without bail. n: it n- n-

It is not possible at this stage to evaluate the respective contributions of Russian industry and British and American “Leud-Lease" aid to the Russian victories. It is worth noting. however, that besides the thousands of zieroplanes, tanks and trucks which have been sent to Russia, Bri- tain and the United States had also sent some 830,000 tons of metals and machine tools by February, 1943; and Russian factories produced llflélfly 50 per cent more munitions in the first six months of 1943 than in the corresponding period of 1942. ‘t _ _

Under recent orders-incouucil low-category Zombies are to be put to work oti the railways, presumably on maintenance of way jobs calling for a minimum of skill and experience, and pet- initting retention of military orgaiiizatioir and discipline. Some weeks ago, leave for railway work was instituted on a voluntary basis; the new move provides for compulsory service. With hundreds of urgent war jobs under- manned, retention of 70.090 abkdmdkd ma" in a non-fighting army has always seemed a waste of the most valuable and scarcest resource, manpower. Assignment of these men to rail- way work is a partial corrective.

Charles I, King of Great Britain and Ire.- land, born this date, 1600, executed as a traitor in 1649, meeting his fate with dignity and fortitude; Charles was a veritable “Dr. jekyl and Mr. Hyde”, personally} pattern of all the virtues, but in public affairs, weak, obstinate, and tortuous in his methods, disregarding con- sideration of reason and even of honour, when these conflicted with his absolutist ideas; with him “the King can do no wrong" meant what it said. Most memorable of all the literary tri- butes to Charles is the contemporary poet An- drew Marvell’s description of him on the scaffold:

"While round the arm-ed bands

Did clap their bloody hands,

He nothing common did or mean

Upon that memorable scene;

But with his keener eye

The Axe's edge did try: '

Nor called the gods, in vulgar 5PM.

To vindicate his helpless right;

But bowed his comely heed

Down, as upon a bed."

A soldier home on leave has brought with him a 324-year-old Bible as one of the ‘wars most unusual souvenirs. The huge, leather-bound volume, nearly four inches thick. was hidden 1n the chimney of an old manor house in North Devon (Illflllg England's civil war (1642-49) and the Bible lay forgotten for 30o years, im- til German bombers, at the height of their blitz- krieg on England, uncovered its bidding place. The aged Bible, containing several thousand pages of fine, ltanrlset type. is considered in a reruarkable state of preservation. Its wood-cut illustrations and contents are as clear and legible as they were three centuries ago. Only part of two heavy brass clasps are missing. The Bible. “Imprinted at London by Bonham Norton and John Bill, Printers to the King's Most Excellent Majestic, Cum Privilegio" in I610, was given by Mr. T. W. Lee of Plymouth, England. Mr. Lee inscribed the flyleaf with a message, dated June 3o, 1943, "To Pvt. James Fnrkey, as a token of gratitude we all feel toward you and all other Americans.

Lord Halifax Wins

(Chester A. Blociri in the Winnipeg Free Press)

Returning from Lord Halifazis rc- niarkable Sunday afternoon press conference (at. Washington) recent- ly, another Candadlan newspaper- man and myself were discussing reasons for the increasing popu- larlty which this tall unbendlng British top flight aristocrat of aristocrats has nchleveed in the United States. I believe those rea- sons are illuminating; worth pond- ering for they bear on future Brit- ish relations with the United Stat-

lord Halifax came here under heavy handicaps. He was preceded by the lateLord Lotlilnn, with a flair for democratic mixing. lord Icthlen had a warm, friendly man- ner; a good memory for names; made an immediate hlt. with gov- ernent officials, hard-boiled news- pnpermen and the public alike. Even President Roosevelt affection- ntlely called Lothlan “Blll." Under no conditions could any- one conceive of calling lnrd Halt- fax by his first name, let alone an abbreviated one. Halifax is pre- cisely the pposlie type horn 10th- lan though both sprang from a long line of aristocratic ances- tors.
