SHRINE PLANNED BY
SQL C� C. MURRAY
Was Former Chaplain At
R.A.F. Station At
Clinton.
• "Like finding a lovely garden, in the
midst of -aa boiler factory!" This was
the expressive if ineleg:<nt comment
which one visitor made upon entering
the net- Chapel of No. 1 "M" Depot,
Royal Canadian. Air Force, Toronto.
Toronto's Manning Depot is the larg-
est centre of personnel in the Empire
but unlike the advanced training sta-
tions of the ' British Commonwealth
Air Training Plan; its buildings were
erected to ,house 'horses and cattle,
rather than embryo "eagles" and in-
dispensable "groundlings." Skilful
adaptations of Canadian National Ex-
hibition structures have been made,
but until an Air Force padre's vision
and determination furnished the im-
pulse,' no one imagined that a lovely
Chapel could be created a't the hub
of this vast,, crowded Depot. The vi-
sion has -become reality. Close,to the
main entrance stands a chapel whose
appointments and atmoefi-here make
it a poem in wood, a trysting pl'ace be-
tween man's •spirit and the Spirit of
Him who haunts and hallows the com-
mon life. Authorities consider this
•"Airmen's Church" the best in the
R. C.A.F.
Who' built, this little Chapel of the
Church Immortal? John Davidson's
words give the true answer:
"Love built this shrine; these hallow -
walls uprose
To give seclusion from the hurrying
throng.
From Tumult of the street, complaint
and wrong,
From rivalry and strife, from taint or
foes."
Love of the' Master of men who
bade His followers seek a quiet place
"a while" to renew and reinforce
their souls for the tasks • among
crowds; love of' the vast, ever-chang-
ing parish to which the Senior Pro-
testant Chaplain of the Depot minis-
ters; love of the individual airman,
in his .need and longing= -such love
conceived this chapel, and directed its
construction. Now it can be told—
the padre's modesty disclaimers and'
the Air Force preference for •anony-
mity notwithstanding! — Squadron
Leader Charles C. Murray, Senior
Protestant padre of the Depot, and
minister of the United Church of
Canada, carried .out this "operation"
with devotion and despatch. True,
his predecessors had dreamed wist-
fully of scene such shrine, "airmen's
own," easily accessible and conducive
to private worship and ,meditation.
How thrilled the predecessors and
former colleagues of Padre Murray
would be to see and use We- "Char-
lie" Murray has, a,way with him, as
his commanding officer would vehe-'
mently testify! Most actively associ-
ated with the padre were the Officer
ixr Charge and Flight Sergeant Fri-
day, Foreman of Works. , To be sure,
the chapel was built by the Works
and Buildings Departmenfit of the De-
pot, and the craftsmen were "under
ar fters" lint each worlemian did
