"I do now install you ,and induct
you,. Reverend Father in God, Char-
les Allen, as Lord BishoP of this
diocese, into the real, actual and cor-
,pc,ral possession of this See, and en-
throne you in this cathedral church

out and thy corning; and rnayest thou
remain in justice and sanctity and
adorn the place delegated to you by
God; and may He who is abundant
in grace strengthen you through His
dear Son faithfully to walk as chief
shepherd of .His flock."
The sermon was preached by the
Right Rev. J. C. Roper, Bishop of
Ottawa, 'Who pictured the Episcopate
as always the defender of the
Church's rights and doctrines, and
saw the Episcopate, too, as the cen-
tre around which may be accomplish-
ed the Church's dream of unity.
