12 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD So it is at this time of year that we remember the angels and, what is most important, the fact that they have charge over us. .L.... .Ll. -. SERVICE OF DEDICATION On Sunday, September 30, at noon, a private service was held in the Chapel at which the two gallery windows were dedicated in memory of Donald William McLaren C20- '29l and Squadron Leader Robert Duncan McLaren C28- '34l. The windows were given by Mrs. Duncan McLaren and designed and executed by Miss Yvonne Williams of To- ronto. They depict the Holy Family, Mary, Joseph and the Baby in one, and Mary, Joseph and the young Boy in another. In the north window may also be seen a small figure of a young man in civilian clothes and in the south window a figure of an Air Force pilot. Donald McLaren died from a sudden illness in August 1929: Bob McLaren had been studying aeronautics in Eng- land before the war and had joined the Air Force on the outbreak of hostilities. He instructed in Canada for two years and then returned to England where he was attached to a special Meteorological Flight. He took part in many hazardous missions and was awarded the D.F.C. for dis- tinguished and gallant service. He was killed in action on February 27, 1945, while on duty over Germany. The School feels most privileged to have these lovely windows. THE CHOIR The newly organized choir has already made a favour- able impression while fulfilling its most important function, that of leading the singing in the Chapel Services. Only seven of the Senior Boys returned in September. Seventeen of the many volunteers have been selected to fill the vacancies.

TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 11 The Bible may be compared to the chest, for it is indeed the world's greatest antique. Often neglected and let gather dust, it is only brought out when the minister pays a visit. This is a wrong attitude to take. As in the case of the young bride, one's life should be built around it, for it supplies answers to daily problems. It contains the very essence of life. At Canon Crump's church in Calgary, every bride is given a Bible and the advice to read a few verses every day. The Canon gave the same advice to the boys of our School. Every boy should centre his daily living around the Bible. It will provide a firm foundation for true, Chris- tian character. THE ANGELS On Sunday, September 29, Canon Lawrence spoke to us about the significance of the words of Psalm 91, verse 2, He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in thy ways. St. Paul wrote in one of his Epistles that we should not give all our attention to the parts of the Christian faith which please us most. Instead, we should plan our mstruction so as to leave out nothing necessary for salvation. From this came our planned calendar of feast days, Christmas, Easter, and so on. It is hard to say when the day for remembering angels was set aside. Besides this day, we remember them at various other times such as Holy Communion, Christmas, and Easter. Canon Lawrence also stressed the fact that Christ Himself believed in the reality of angels. For example, during the night of Christ's capture at Gethsemane, He spoke of twelve legions of angels that could come at His command to rescue Him. We were also reminded of the parable of the shepherd and the lost sheep. The Canon drew a parallel by showing the happiness of the angels upon the redemption of one strayed human being.
