TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 5 Since his coming to the diocese of Nova ,Scotia thirty years ago, the late Most Rev. Clarendon Lamb Worrell brought to the problems of the Church his great abilities as a leader, his long experience as a parish priest, educa- tionist, Archdeacon, Bishop, Metropolitan and Primate. His election to the last mentioned office at the General Synod in Toronto in September, 1931, was a fitting crown to his great career. He will be remembered as a Wise counsellor, a courageous leader, and a splendid citizeng for his building of All Saints Cathedral, for the great Church Congress at its opening, and the commemoration of the Bicentenary of the Church in Canadag for his Work in con- nection with King's University, Edgehill , King's Col- legiate School, and education generally, for his Work in the reorganization of the Diocesan Mission Board, and other Boards and funds of the Church, for his interest in the Welfare of his clergyi his administration of important offices in the Provincial and General Synods, and the leadership he gave in the campaign for the Restoration of the lost funds in the Western Dioceses. Long known throughout the Canadian Church as the Administrator , every difficulty and crisis was to him a challenge, and the great achievements made under his leadership will stand as a monument to him, his earnestness of purpose and intrepid Will. We thank God for the heritage left to us by him and the work accomplished by him in the Master's cause. Reginald V. Harris CT.C.S. 1897-993, Chancellor of the Diocese of Nova Scotia.

4 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD On his ordination as priest in June 1884, he was appointed Rector of Williamsburg, remaining for two years, when he was appointed Rector of Morrisburg, 1886-91, and during this period the degree of D.C.L. honoris causa, was conferred upon him by his old College. From 1891 to 1903 he was Rector of St. Mark's Church, Barriefield. During this period he was also Pro- fessor of English Literature at the Royal Military College, Kingston, and Examining Chaplain to Archbishop Lewis and his successor Bishop Mills of Ontario, and became Archdeacon of Ontario in 1901. It was while he was serving his first year as Rector of St. Lul:e's Church, Kingston, that he was elected Bishop of Nova Scotia, August 31, 1904, and was consecrated at Christ Church Cathedral, Montreal, on St. Luke's Day, October 18, 1904, by Archbishop Bond, Primate of the Church, assisted by nine other Bishops including Bishop Chas. H. Brent of the Phillipine Islands. He was enthroned as Bishop on November 10th. in St. Luke's Pro Cathedral Halifax, elected Metropolitan Arch- bishop of the Ecclesiastical Province of Canada , Feb- ruary 10, 19153 Primate of All Canada September 24, 19313 and passed to a well-earned rest on August 10th., 1934, a life filled to the full with consecrated endeavour, rich useful- ness, and fruitful results. He has left us, a heritage of devotion to duty and tireless industry, for duty, that Stern daughter of the voice of God was ever the lodestar of the Primate's life. Was there ever a man, I wonder, amongst all the great leaders with whom God has blessed the Church in Canada, to whom duty meant more than it meant to him, or who spared himself less in its pursuit? Always the vision of duty burned before him brightly, and always he followed its guiding light. No considerations of selfish ease, no specious arguments of personal comfort, ever moved him from his appointed path.

6 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD The Chapel Just before School opened in September, the Chapel was completely re-decorated, through the kindness of the Ladies' Guild. The Walls were painted a pinkish buff shade, and the ceiling panelled in the palest green, lending warmth and depth to the interior. The frames of the windows have been coloured a deep red, the curtains in the Chancel dyed green and continued to cover the entire Wall, and the curtain moulding painted red. The windows on the north side, opening on to the boiler-room courtyard, have been blocked with beaver-board and painted over, softening the cross light, and removing a source of distrac- tion. With the addition of the lovely Arundel prints, and the improvement in the singing, the Chapel is now filling its place in the life of the School nearly as well as any temporary Chapel possibly could. For all this invaluable work, planned and completed so painstakingly and success- fully by the officers and members of the Ladies' Guild, we are more grateful than we can say. Not a day goes by Without our seeing evidences of the thoughtfulness and generosity of the Guild, and We feel that our appreciation can best be expressed by the proper use We make of their manifold gifts to us. On October 7th., the School was addressed by the Headmaster. The text of his discourse was: Be ye doers of the Word and not hearers only. Visiting clergymen are expected to preach in Chapel on the following dates: October 28th.: The Rev. J. F. Davidson, Upper Canada College.
