THE RAMBLER, 9
Since my 4uties, .for , some little
trine now are to be in and around
Halifax,the next couple of, art-
icles will deal with .subject mat-
ter . hereabouts. ' •
I had always .hoped forr the day
when fate might lead me to the
'.doors of some of Great Britain's'
famous cathedrals or castles.
Strange how true old sayings .can
often: be: You have heard 'it said
"far -away 'pastures .always look.
green Often times right at fiorne
there ' is something of equal value
which we oftenpass ' up without
realizing the value;
With, a group of other interest-
ed -parties we set as our objective
the St. Paul's Church, ' Halifax.
Were it . not for the sign board
on the corner ' of .the .church prop-
erty
property which gives 'a little detailed!
information relative tc the -build-
ing, 'one might easily pass it •by
-with the thought that it was' just
another' old'.'building.. However;
the sign informs us that it was
. established. by Roy..al foundation
by King George the Second, in
the year 1749 which fact estab-
lishes if as ' the oldest English
•speaking protestant, church in
Canada.. It. is, the mother, church
not only of the diocese .in: which
it is. located .but of :all the church
of England in Canada.
From the year 1`787' to 18.65 it
was the garrison church of the
British forces. The names of'soine
of the Empire's mostgallant sub-
. jects .from both army and navy
are enshrined in rnemory: The
material of the building, pine
and' oak, was brought in from
Boston, • Massachusetts. The fin
a'ncing:. was done by grants from
the king and governmeiit; Thus it
was established by Royal -Found-.
ation. It is • the . only church in
Canada , to ',have this distinction.
and : one conferred upon . few
`churches even in England.
1 Some very strange facts. exist
in • the history of - the church's
functionsin its earlier days.' For
instance the first non -conformist
'services were held in St. Paul's.
Until Mather'schurch was built
the members of`• ,the church rif 1'
Scotland • worshipped on ,Sunda;z
.afternoons. Another instance of
_:._note:._was - that .the--fi.-priest.--toy -
minister ,to the English' Roman
Catholics was appointed to ;act,
under thedirection, of the rector
of St. Paul's whoin turn had to
make his reports to the legislative
assembly.
One of the most ' impressive
memorials in the -church of more
recent installation is , the bronze
memorial arch and doors. The
arch has inscribed the names of
those who gave their lives in the
last. war. While the doorscom-
memorate the work of a former
archdeaconwho had served the
parish'for some thirty-two years.
Space . w.i11 not permit even the
mention of the ' innumerablf'•
memorials which -may be found
throughout the church. I shall
confine my 'remarks to but a few
things which particularly inter
ested me.
A stone to the memory of those
who gave their lives in the en-
gagement between the "Shannon"'
(British) and the "Chesapeake"
(American) in the war 1812-14.
It seems thatthe vanquished ves-
sel was tpwed . into the harbor
during the morning serviee. Howe
ever the news got pushed along
and the, service was brought to
a sudden close:.
Silver communion .sets and an
Alms Ba'son bearing the coat of
arrns of Queen Anne, a chalice.
of George the• First's tithe, are
among the''many vestments trea-
sured within the chure'h. :The
parish registry is cornplete from
the • founding of the church. and
many curious facts are recorded
therein. One 'reference to the
bapti °ref ..son.e twenty slaves, 1,
the . property of Governor. Went-
worth, bears: evidence ,of -a cliang-
ed age. Recorded is -the burying
of a Mrs. Unaike which . states
she was ;married at the early- age
of thirteen.. -She must have been
a lady of means., as she. is one of
twenty buried in , the vaults of
the church. One had to pay for
that rare privilege in those days
as the .fee
set was one hundred
'pounds to the cathedral. and 25
pounds to the rector..
One , pew in . the church is .re-
served in the church for royalty
and in their ;absence Is used by
the, Lt:. -Governor for the province
of Nova Scotia. 'The • following
members of the Royal .Family
whi have sat therein have been,
Edward, Duke' of .Kent, father of
Queen Victoria, Edward the VII
-as: Prince of Wales, King George
the Fifth when Duke of Cornwall,
By special permission from the
king the Royal standard is hung
as a companion flag with the
Union Jack.
The Explosion Window is some
• thing of a freak inthat a perfect
silhouette of the head ar s u1-
ders of a man have been lett by
clinging pieces ' of glass to • the
frame: This has been preserved
by putting glass on either side.
to perserthe picture thus form-
ed and to coniniemorate' one. of
Canada's greatest, disasters .when
eleven hundred .lives were: lost.
Another interesting feature about
this same incident was that .only
one of the stained. glass windoiws
was 'destroyed beyong• repair: and
that one was made in. Germany,.
I have of course .only touched
on' a few of. the many points cif
interest. Many more are. worthy
.of 'mention if time.' and space
would permit. The . gleanings of
