TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 3 A. ' HAPIZL Em i . OTES On Sunday, September 15th., the Headmaster spoke in Chapel. 1.l. On Sunday, September 29th, St. Michael's Day, the Chaplain spoke in Chapel. He took as his text from the Revelation of St. John the Divine, Chapter 12, verses 7 to 9: And there was War in Heaveng Michael and his angels fought against the Dragon, and the Dragon fought against his angels, and prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in Heaven. And the great Dragon was cast out, that old Serpent, called the Devil, and Satan which deceiveth the Whole world, he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. On Sunday, October 6th, Mr. Scott preached in Chapel. He took as his text Proverbs 29:18, Where there is no vision, the people perish. He reminded us that, at the beginning of a school year all boys, new and old, make up their minds to do well in everything. They have set themselves a mark. Some had it put before them, some realized this themselves. A vision or mark is a necessity, if one is to live by the ideals of decent living and honest thinking, and without God there is no vision. What we build ourselves now, we must take out into the World.

2 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD spicious bravery, B. D. Russel, who was awarded the Dis- tinguished Flying Cross, for destroying five enemy air- craft, and assisting in the destruction of a sixth, L. R. Mc- Lernon, who received the Distinguished Service Cross for his part played at Dunkirkg and just now we have heard that H. F. G. Ede was awarded the D.F.C. for gallantry in the air during the attack on Narvik. Few schools, at this stage of the War, can say that three of their members have won such honours. We are proud of you, Old Boys, and pray that we, the boys now at your old School, may follow in your heroic footsteps. x We want to take this opportunity to Welcome the seventy-six new boys who entered the School this year. Yes,-seventy-six--a record never before equalled in our 75 years history. A dozen of these boys in the S. S. have come from war-torn England. Ten in the Junior School have come from the other side of the Atlantic. It is difficult for these boys to accustom themselves to this strange country. The everyday trivialities and events, which to us are monotonous, to them are things new and different. They have been torn away from their friends, from their very country, to be flung into the midst of us Canadians. Are they down-hearted? No!-a thousand times no! They have adapted themselves to this foreign environ- ment with the utmost of pluck and enthusiasm. Quietly and unobtrusively they find out our way of life-and they fit in. Sometimes you may catch one of them in a fog. What are they thinking about? The chances are it's Home -three thousand miles away. Not once do we hear a protesting murmur. We admire their courage: they are showing themselves to be made of the right stuff. To this we say: Keep it up, and good luck!

4 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD Sunday, October 13th., the Chaplain preached the sermon, taking his text from Psalm 92:1- It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord . He pointed out that we have a great deal for which to thank God, even in this time of war, Worry, anxiety, and, for many, bereave- ment. He said we should give thanks to Him for all the blessings of this life, but above all for His inestimable love in the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ. Also we should be thankful for Britain, for the fact that we are fighting for the right in this struggle, and for the unseliish spirit of everyone in this war, which spirit is one of the qualities of Christ Himself.
