TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 5 On October 19th, the Chaplain preached. He took as his text: God so loved the world He gave His only be- gotten Son . He reminded us that God has always loved from the beginning of time. God shows us His love in all the beauties of nature. God's love made Israel a great nation. Then, too, he told us that the message of the Prophet Hosea was one of God's love. In the same way that God has always loved, He has always given. He gave us life and food. But the culmina- tion of all His loving and giving was the gift of His only begotten Son. Mr. Dann concluded by remarking that despite all this we still treat Christ as a stranger and that too often. There is no room for Him in the inn, so He must be lodged in a manger.

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.

6 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD IN MEMORIAM J. W. ATKIN Jim Atkin came to the School in September, 1933, and left in June, 1935. He was one of those quiet, sturdy fellows, not making any spectacular school career but im- pressing himself on the memories of those who came into contact with him. He was a boy of action, not of Words, and this characteristic stayed with him. After he left he went into outdoor occupations in the north country, and on the outbreak of war entered the Algoma Steel Co. to make munitions. He enlisted in the Air Force a year ago, won his wings and a commission and was posted overseas last August. He was given command of a bomber and had made many successful flights with his crew composed of an Australian, a New Zealander and a South African. Word of his death came on Sunday, October 26thg he had been killed on Active Service the day before. He died as he would have chosen, in the thick of it, and he has joined the long ranks of those who shall not grow old as we that are left grow old. We shall always remember him. and revere his gallantry. .
