C deacon.

-The both anniversary of the ordination to the priesthood of Rt. Rev. G. J. MacLellan, V.G., was observed yesterday morning when Bt. Paul's Church. Summe - move, was filled to capacity by meumpss of the parish who came to adult at his solemn High Mus and to pay tribute to their be- loved pastor who had labored among them for almost I quar- ter of a century. -

I t nus MacLeilan was the celebs-ant of the Max, with Rev. Joseph MaoLeod acting as deacon, and Rev. Joseph Leclalr as sub.

Seated in the sanctuary was Sir William Macmillan, K.c.S G.. Mas. ter of the Fourth Degree Knights of Columbus for Prince Edward Island and Nova Bootia. An honor guard of 4th Degree Knights was in attendance.

At the conclusion of the Mass two of the trustees, Mr. E. P. Foley and Mr. Mark Gaudet, Br.. came forward to the altar steps and an address was read to Mon- signor Macliellan by Mr. Foley. and a presentation made by Mr. Gaudet r'.i behalf of the parish-

ion era. In his reply Monsignor Mac- Leilan expressed his heartfelt

gratitude to all who had remem- bered him on this great day in his priestly life.

Referring to another great day 50 years ago he recalled the morn- lng when at the hands of an arch- bishop he had. by the imposition of hands. been made ”a priest forever according to the order of Melchlsedek."

Recalls Fires

He traced the history of his life as a priest from that day forth when as rector of St. Dunstan's parish. Charlottetown. he saw the magnificent cathedral there. re-l duced to ruins by a CIISEISI-l'(lUS, fire, and of the magnificent man-? ner in which the members of his flock rallied around him and through their unselfish sacrifices he saw a new and finer St. Dun- sun's arise from the ruins of the

old. Once again. he said, the tragedy was repeated when on Sunday

morning. February 3, 1946. the St Paul's Church in Summerside was burned to the ground. Once again, he said, he met with the same loyal support on the part of the parishioners of St. Paul's, and the church was rebuilt. a fine schooll iaddcd. and recreation center in the basement.

He spoke, too. of the joys he. experienced down through the! years which overshadowed the: sorrows, and in returning thanks: for the full measure of health which he still enjoys. expressed the hope that he would be sipared for ft. long time to carry on his labors, but at the same time re- minded his hearers that sooner or later "the torch will be passed along from failing liands". for with the passing years the shad- ows were lengthening. he said.

In conclusion he paid high u-1. bute to the priests with whom he had worked. and who had made his burden lighter. and also to the good Sisters who. by their unsel- fish livu, bring the light of learn- ing and culture into the lives of so many others.

The ceremonies closed with the

singing of the "Te Deum." Address Read

The following is the address read to Mionsignor Macliellan:

Monsignor:-

In this church today a hymn of praise. of love and of gratitude rises to God and mlngles with the Jubilant songs of the angels. for the souls of your parishioners are attuned to the harinwny in which heaven and earth unite to cele- brate the golden anniverrsary of your ordination to the holy priest- hood.

ghflnk from praise and adulation. that you prefer to live little known to the world and well known to God.

But on this, your golden Jubilee day, from the fullness of our hearts we must respectfully voice the expreulon of our Dincere con- gratulationa.

The event we celebrate is an important one. rare in the holy priesthood, and unprecedented in, the history of this parish; there-I fore, we rejoice that you. our reverend pastor, are one of the, few of Gods anointed to whom) it is given to see the fiftieth annl-I varsary of their ordination.

Half a century in the service of God is indeed a long time. T01 you, no doubt. it is rich in memor-ll has of joy and sorrow, but in that light of this great day, the son: rows fade away, while the Joys, alone remain, and from the depths!

a fervent Te Deum which echoed in the hearts of all those tcr whom you have so zealously labored. '

The long years of your sacer-; in;

dotal life have been fruitful good works. You have ever used your rich gifts of mind and heart to implant the truths of our holy religion in the souls of those whose privilege it has been to be guided by you on the heavenward way.

Your own strong faith was brought by your Scotland to our little Island, "where still the blood is strong, and the heart is highland.” That strong deep rooted faith has made a lasting impresion on the minds of your parishioners. May it flour- ish in our souls, and enable each one of us to say in life's last hour: "I have fought the good fight, I have kept the faith and there is laid up for me a crown of justice."

Thus may we truly say that your labors of the past fifty years, twenty-one of which have been spent in this parish. are for you 9. source of consolation and a pledge of that reward exceeding great. which awaits you. There- fore, we most heartily congratu- late you, Monsignor, that you have for fifty years exercised in so worthy a manner the sacred power whereby you have given to God the greatest glory and brought to us heaven's choicest blessings

We are, indeed. unable to re- pay you for the innumerable bene- fits which you have bestowed uipon us. But today. we unite in pray. er, asking the Divine Giver of 9V9T.V izood and perfect gift, to renew for you the joy which filled .voui' soul on the great day of which we celebrate the fiftieth anniversary. We beg Him to me. S9”?! ycur heath and strength that You may continue your good work among us till to the golden chain 15 added the priceless gem of your diamond jizbilcc. i

May.God in His goodness. leavcl you 'WlLlI us, the people of St Pauls parish, that we may still DION! by your fatherly solicitude in the manifold ways in which. we. need the insight and spiritual? vision of at prudent and faithful guide.

As we offer you. Monsignor, the tribute of our appreciation. we feel that the best proof or our gratitude is that we be "doors of

the word and not herirers only” and that amidst the vicissitudes of this life. the power which

As we go forward. we will not walk in darkness, for across our path a light will shine. the light of the saintly life of our worthy pastor.

Summerside

when a man files from Sum- merside. P. E. l.. to Montreal there is nothing unusual about it, that is, unless he remembers when tole- phones came to the island." the advent of the railroads, and was ”quite a chunk of a boy" when the fathers of confederation met for the Charlottetown Conference.

G. W. Bell, who flew up here this week to visit his daughter and son-' in-law. Mr. and Mrs. C. I. Bacon. can recall these and many other important developments in the life of Canada. Mr. Bell, whose quick wit and marital and physical alert- ness belie his 92 years. made the second nirpane flight of his life.

”l liked it line." he says. "It wns much different from the other time which you couldn't call a flight at all. It was about 25 years ago and I just, went. up in an old open plane with a fellow by the name of Casey who. had landed in a field."

Much Quicker

”!-Iveryone thought I wouldn't make this trip. but I didn't think anything of it. it was much quicker and lesis tiresome than coming by train."

A lover of horses, particularly of the racing variety. Mr. Bell looks back on a long full life of eight years at sea "off and on." working with his father and brothers at boat-building and more recently farming where he bought and sold race horses. ''It was my hobby," he explains.

still active despite his ago. Mr. Bell is the harbormaster at sum- merslde now. Last year he examin- ed the papers of 22 steamers that put into Summerside.

"Yes, I have seen many changes in my time." Mr. Bell mused during an interview. "When I was a boy the ship my father built had to go to lmgland for lnsurance...I re- member the first telephones and first railroads on P. I. 1.

Mr. Bell related to the reporter one of th'e most colorful anecdotes of his long life. It was about the sinking of a great sailing ship. the Marco Polo, which he witnessed as a boy.

The Marco Polo. he rcminisced was the fastest sailing vessel of the time. Mr. Bell was at work on a ship in the New London (his birth placet harbor when the great ves- sel attempted to put into the liar- bor but then "stood off."

"She was wnlcrlolzged . . . ion ded with pine deals ttivn-inch planks!

.Vfr. Bell was among those who helped his father unload the ship and when the work was about half completed a violent storm came up "and she broke in two. and one man was drowned." -

The Marco Polo was built in St. John and before she was launched fell through the ways causing her hull to be "hogged" or twisted. This. Mr. Bell explained. was re- sponsible for her great. speed. The vessel Wis owned for a time by a French company but at the time of the sinking in 1886 she belong- ed to a Norwegian firm and neither the captain nor any of her 25-man crew could speak English.

The vessel had beautifully-carved figureheads of pitch pine, many of which were kept by the Bell fam-
