TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 3 HAPELT OTIS On Sunday, September 14th, the Chaplain preached the sermon. He told us that there are two ways of writ- ing a detective story: first, you may begin with the corpse and end up with the criminal, or you may start with the criminal and end up with the corpse. He then pointed out that Christianity is similar to both these types of stories. It is an account of an adventure, as is the second type of storyg and it also sets a problem. To follow the adventure and to answer the problem requires faith and doubt, thought and courage. However, Lmlike in a detective story, each one of us must find the adventure for himself, and no one but the person involved can answer the problem. On Sunday, September 21st, the Headmaster spoke in Chapel. He began by reminding us that we must not play drawback in the game of life. We shall not be a drawback, he said, if we have devotion and feel responsibility. In settling down in a boarding school, we must re- member that group takes precedence over self. The Head- master went on to say that we must always be doing some- thing and striving always toward a goal. We must be doers, not watchers. In closing, he said that in this war-torn world religion must be our guiding light. All things pass with God's help.

4 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD On Sunday, September 28th, the Chaplain preached, taking his text from St. John V: 11- God has given unto us eternal life, and that life is in His Son . He pointed out the values of education. To the questions: What is the good of all this knowledge? Where does it get us? he suggested three possible answers: Knowledge makes for greater happinessg intellectual life is higher than physical, and mind controls matter. He criticized all these, and show- ed us that our education is concerned with blending physi- cal, spiritual, and mental into a unified way of life. On Sunday, October 5th, the Rev. D. R. L. Clarke, Priest in charge of St. Thomas' Church, Toronto, spoke in Chapel at the Annual Harvest Festival. The Chapel was beautifully decorated with the produce of the land. Mr. Clarke began his sermon by reminding us that we offer up our thanks to God before each meal but that some- times we treat harvest festivals too lightly. He went on to say that we must be thankful for such men as our fishermen, miners, and farmers who help God with His harvests. Mr. Clarke ended by asking us to do these things: to thank God for what He gives us, to thank God for the men who help Him give us these things, and Hnally to ask His aid in helping us produce something of use to others in our lives. On Sunday, October 12th, the Rev. T. P. Crosthwait spoke in Chapel. His text chosen from the book of Kings was. Hast thou found me, Q mine enemy? He com- pared the man hunt that will arise after this war, with the hunt for his followers that God is unceasingly waging. He advised us not to fly from God's help, but rather to help Him in his search. The best way to do this, he pointed out. was to attend the communion services regularily.
