 Jenus, (jiviiKj tJuuiksto God and the Father by hinu 
 
 Beloved brethren,^ — I have ween with much pleaHurc? tlie accoiii.' 
 )lishment of the event of this day. It may be naturally supposed to 
 lave no small interest for me, as it marks the successful issue of a great 
 ^ffort that has been successfully made. But it possesses a far deeper 
 iterest for me, be assured, fi'oin the transcendent importance that I 
 Lttach to what is now inaugurated. I shall be glad if the feW words J 
 |,m to say this afternoon should enable any of you more fully to realize 
 hat importance^ 
 
 To those of you, dear brethren, who are Parishionei*K of St. John's^ 
 \e induction of Mr. Grisdale can scarcely fail to have a lively interest^ 
 )r in becoming one of the pastors of the Collegiate Church that has 
 sen established here — the Motlier Church — the Cathedral Church of 
 le Diocese — he will in a peculiar degi-ee be a pastor of St. John's 
 *arish,as it is still intended that the Cathedral should partake partially 
 ^f the character of a Parish Church. 
 
 This brings him necessarily into the most solemn relations to yoltv 
 [is duty will be, along with his Colleagues, to watch over your souls as 
 le that will have to give account to the Great Judge. And this> 
 |,gain, is met by an equal resi)on8ibility on your i)art. You will have 
 give account of the way you [)rofit from his services, and of the en- 
 >uragement he receives from you for delivering his message, and giving 
 it to yt)u publicly, ]>rivately, and from house to house as you may 
 jvemlly need. N(>thing in life approaches with a Christian people t<» 
 
the importance of tlie appointment of their pastor. It is enough for 
 this that the eternal happiness of many immortal souls must be affected 
 by it. But then, in a<i«lition to this, in how many ways directly an<l 
 indirectly, does the pastor enter into the social life of his ei^ngregation ! 
 What a comfort and help when he can be a friend and confidant in 
 times of anxiety and carei 
 
 The congregation, that for more than fifty years has gathered near 
 this spot, has been singularly blessed in the ministration of the means 
 of Grace. Mr. West, Mr. Jones, Archdeacon C(jchran, Bishop Ander- 
 son, and your late rector, now the Bishop of Saskatchewan, furnish a 
 remarkable succession of loving and devoted workers. It is not a 
 small matter to enter into their labors. May a double poition of the 
 Spirit descend upon the clergy, who under the new c<mdition of the 
 Cathedral, will minister in this Parish ; may the simple truth as it is in 
 Jesus, that has ever been heard within these walls, be their own joy and 
 the glad subject of their ministry, and may the Gospel preached by 
 them be the savour of life unto life to many souls. 
 
 But whilst there will still be a District or Parish attached to the 
 Cathedral to be ministered to by its Clergy, and to be indeed thus nom- 
 inally their first care, the Cathedral will now stand out more promi- 
 nently than before in its true character as a Parish Church in a far 
 larger sense. The Parish is the Diocese and the pastor is the Bishop. 
 And in many respects by most halloM^ed associations dating from the 
 first beginning of settlement here is this Church of St. John's fitted to 
 take up in this Diocese that character of a mother Chu -^h that gave in 
 primitive and early times to Cathedral Churches their pos' ion at once 
 of dignity an«l affection. The Cathedral Church of early times was the 
 Mission Church of the little body of missionaries that round their Bishop 
 struggled to uplift the cross and carry the good tidings of a Saviour into 
 sun-ounding heathenism ; and when by God's blessing many hearts had 
 been reached and touched, and members of the mission band had 
 kindled the light of the Gospel in many neighboring towns and districts, 
 the. Cathedra,! remained the common centre of all operations and 
 furnished schools in which the theological and other studies of the time \ 
 were pursued, and a native clergy nurtured and sent forth. The Chris- I 
 tian world owes almost everything to Cathedral and like institutions. 
 Amid the dense darkness and untutored roughness of Mediseval times» 
 whatever was elevating and humanizing found its refuge there. How- 
 ever unprofitable many of the questions, and however cumbersome the 
 course of reasoning may have been, that exercised theological students 
 of those days, yet they kept up two of the most important results of I 
 education, the habit of study and the sharpening of the intellect. I 
 Where would we have been without the manusciipts so laboriously 
 written out in many a sequestered cell ? and how much we owe to the 
 architectural and musical, and even agricultural devotion of the mem- 
 bers of the Cathedral and collegiate bodies, both monastic and secular ! |

 its of their time, with the light, knowledge and eiHTgy now the 
 
 leritage of the laity as well as the clergy, nuich that once fell to th(» 
 
 iemV)ers of those bodies devolves most properly arul healthily (»n 
 
 others — still the great uses of the Cathedral remain. How kceidy the 
 
 ^oung Western Diocenes of the American CJhurch have felt the need in 
 
 [he early days of a young country like our own, of a mission centre 
 
 'om which the Bisho]) with his clergy may work out on the gathering 
 
 )opulati(m ! Hence has sprung u]) in Minnesota, in NeV)raska, and else- 
 
 diere, the Associate Mission. The lesson has l)een immistakeable that 
 
 le best way of exteniling the operations of the Church in such circum- 
 
 bances is l>y means of having a strong crentre where several clergymen 
 
 Ian live together and sustain and cheer each other while they go forth 
 
 \o surrounding mission stations. Practically the Associate Mission 
 
 Isually conjoins with this missionary effort, educational institutions — 
 
 professors, masters, and the candidates for Holy Orders being the mis- 
 
 lonaries. Now this Associate Mission of the Ameiican Church is 
 
 Nothing but the old Cathedral in a modern fonn. And when a country 
 
 ^rows out of this early stage and V)ecomes well settled at its capital, so 
 
 lat such a missionary employment of the Cathedral clergy is no longer 
 
 [ecessary, the Cathedral will continue to have a proper and neede<l 
 
 ilace as it stands out as the Home of the Diocese, where reunions of 
 
 he C/lergy and of all Diocesan workers may take place around their 
 
 lishop ; where special courses of sermons may be delivered ; where 
 
 Jhurch music may be cultivated, and where the services of the Church 
 
 lay be performed so as to bring out most fully their spirit and their 
 
 iauty. And while these great and most necessary advantages are 
 
 fbtained by the Diocese from the Cathedral — advantages seen to great 
 
 ierfection at the ])resent day in the magnificent temples of England 
 
 li their revived life — there are still others. The Bishop need not now 
 
 Itand alone, but can always have by him for his consultation in the 
 
 Cathedral staff' a council of experienced Presbyters. And then the 
 
 Cathedral should continue an much as ever, even more than ever, to be 
 
 the nui-sery of the Church. One great end of the means it is endowed 
 
 R^ith for the sup])oit of a learned body of clergy with sufficient freedom 
 
 rom the calls of Pastoral Visitation, that engross and properly engross 
 
 pie time of the pastors of ordinary parishes, .should be not (mly to allow 
 
 If study, but of conducting a Theological School as well »^ encouraging 
 
 bther educational institutions. The Cathedrals of England, indeed, for 
 
 I time, lost sight of their duty and privilege in maintaining schools of 
 
 the Prophets, but then they, at the .same time, lost sight of any direct 
 
 rood that might come to the Diocese from them. They simply afforded 
 
 lignified and almost sinecure posts, by which in some cases learning 
 
 ind distinguished merit among the Clergy were rewarded, a use which, 
 
 IT it had continued by itself, would not have saved them from destruc- 
 
 [ion in this Utilitarian Age. But the Statutes of some of the Foundiu 
 
 pons point out distinctly what was intended, and of late there has been' 
 
6 
 
 in Huvcral ( 'athodrals an earnest movement for tlie reHumj)tion of their 
 
 place in the Edncation of the (Jhun^h. Tlie C'atliedral of Christ C-hureln 
 
 ()xfor(l, is most intimately associated with tlie Theological School oi 
 
 that University, ail the CJanonries l>eint; attached to the Arclnleaconriesj 
 
 of the Diocese or to Professorships, the Dean being also the head ot| 
 
 «»ne of the C'olleges. The (Cathedral of Ely is only in a less degrett 
 
 connected with the ITniversity of C'andnidge, and all the (uuinent^ 
 
 Theological Professors of that latter University are C.anons of Cathcn 
 
 drals. And thony-li the ( Janons of Enjnjlish Cathedrals do not themselvesd 
 
 • • • 
 
 take part in tlie teaching of Grammar or High Schools, yet there arci 
 
 such coiniected with most, if not all these Cathedrals. 
 
 It can at once be seen that the Cathedral, when fully worked, muHtj 
 enter into the whole life of the Diocese, and be felt as its very heart] 
 Now this Cathedral (church is well fitted to take this honoured position^ 
 It was in this vicinity that the first Protestant settlement was made,^ 
 and many of the later settlements drew^ not a few valuable members 
 from those who had worshipjied here and came under the infiuenee of 
 those eminent witnesses and Preachers of the Truth who ministered 
 here. It was in this Parish that the first ( Jhurch was erected and thi' 
 first Missionaries laboured. Here from the first they i)lanted a school,] 
 at which most of the native Clergy, from the Venerable Henry Budd! 
 downv^ards, have been educated, and not a few of our Laity. Many know' 
 what an excellent school existed here many yeai's ago under the Rev.| 
 John Macallum. 1 may mention, in passing, what an interest his. 
 widowed lady and her surviving daughter take in the College School! 
 that is its heir and successor— shown this year in their adding to] 
 former gifts that of one of the finest instruments now employed im 
 Meteorological science. And their interest is shared by the old pupils. 
 Led by Chief Factors Hardisty and McMuiTay and Mr, febister, the! 
 head master of one of the Public schools of London, England, they have; 
 founded in St. John's College, in memory of their old master, a scholar- 
 ship, which with a new addition that I hear is being raised this yearl 
 by some of the officers of the Hon. Hudson's Bay Co., will not be muchj 
 behind the valuable scholarship in memtry of the late Venerable] 
 Aichdeacou Cochi-an. 
 
 i' 
 
 And now funds have been obtained that will secure for all time 
 means for this Cathedral occupying its proper position, and in future days 
 liberally rewarding such learned men as, when the country has grown, 
 may be drawn to fill its appointments. At present we are in the 
 Mission Stage. The population is thin and scattered. The parishes! 
 are few. The Theological school can necessarily be but limited. New 
 settlements are springing up about us while the Cathediul parish is but I 
 small as well as its Church. In this stage there would not be sufficient ! 
 work in their proper sphere for a Canon and Theological Professor, and 
 therefore the Cathedral staff can combine with their more distinctive 
 duties a share of the College School work. This has enabled me to I 
 
[(I t(t fclu'ir Income, whic-li oUrtwIsl', as <lenved wholly fVoni invcjst- 
 
 ?nt8, w(ml«l not be .sutHeient, wliUe the (Vatheflral Tjands are unpro- 
 
 ^ctivc. And tluH Htag3 may be oxpec.hMl to last for a few yearH. 
 
 it ere it ends I have no doubt that the C^athcdral Lands will be ho 
 
 lual)h' in income, that there will be ample funds, not only for our 
 
 iwinj; men of learning, ])iety, and al)ility — of the highest standing — 
 
 lether from oui-selves or elsewhere, to oecupy positions on the Cathe- 
 
 d staff, but also for our maintaining under the shadow of the 
 
 ^thedrai, Education Institutions of all kinds in the fullest efficiency 
 
 tl for our taking an effective part in that General University Educa- 
 
 ^n, unconnected with denrnninations, that may then be expected in 
 
 is country, giving to those coming here for tfiat education, who wish 
 
 or whose fiiends wish it, the j)riceless blessing of tuition in a home 
 
 lere it can Ite read in no doubtful characters that the l)eginning of all 
 
 ^owledge and all wisdom is in the fear and woi-shi]) of God. 
 
 Well, brethren, the im})ortance t)f this for our chuich cannot be over- 
 
 bimated. Bishoj) Jewell at the time of the Reformation well expressed 
 
 feelings of the leading Reformers when he said, " Loaniingis the life 
 
 |d soul of the Church and of Christian religion." And again, " The 
 
 od estate of this noble kingdom, the comfort of posterity, the stay 
 
 religion, the continuing of the Gospel, the removing of darkness 
 
 Ingeth ui>on it." Now if these remarks of Bishop Jewell were 
 
 mropriate in England in the days of Queen Elizal)eth, for inducing 
 
 rsons of wealth still more largely to endow the great Universities of 
 
 igland, and one lady of the Court to which they were addressed did 
 
 Idow a new College — the College in Cambridge, of which I am still a 
 
 jllow — how much more strongly they should appeal to us in a country 
 
 lere everything has to be done. It will task ceitainly to the utmost 
 
 e resources of our people to maintain our Clergy in any degi'ee of 
 
 ifort. It will be no small help then f o have our schools self-support- 
 
 |g, so as not to interfere w'th those efforts. And we must remember 
 
 dependent we are likely to be on our Schools. It is a very hard 
 
 |ing now to get Clergymen in England to offer themselves for colonial 
 
 )rk. The Church of England at home is so full of life. There is 
 
 3h a call throughout England for earnest and active men. There is 
 
 jh a noble field for their efforts. There is such an enthusiastic spirit 
 
 Avhat may be called the profession of a Clergyman at the present 
 
 ^y in the old country. Therefore we may expect continual and from 
 
 appearances increasing difficulty in supplying our parishes from 
 
 Igland. We must, therefore, look to ourselves, and if we can do this, 
 
 I will be anything but a loss. Much as we have been indebted to 
 
 Igland in the past, yet there should be a great advantage in a Clergy 
 
 ired amongst ourselves, familial* with our habits of thought, associat- 
 
 in feeling with their people, having no view or longing outside their 
 
 le and country.

 Well, a foundation has Itct^n laid for tl»«' (Whedral. Tv 
 OanonrieH have heeii foiiiuUMJ, attaolitMl r(!H|M'ctively to the ProfcHSd 
 HhipH of SyHtcriiatie Theology and Kxej:jetical Theology in St. Join 
 (^rdlege. There is alH(» a foundation for a third (^anonry attached 
 the Professorship of KiH'lesiastieal History ; hut as 1 am hoth findii 
 the funds for this from my own ])rivat(! means and performing tl 
 duties of the Professoi-ship, this ( 'anonry will prohahly not Ik; avni 
 able in my time. There is also a small beginning made for a four! 
 C^anonry, to be attaelied to a Professorship of Musie in the (Nillego ai 
 the Precentorship in the (Cathedral. Mr. Orisdale, who is Professor 
 Systematic Theoloj'y in the C*ollege, has been, to-day, inducted 
 Canon He succeeds in part my dear old friend, th»i fiishop of tl 
 Saskatchewan, of whom 1 will only say that when I brought him heii 
 I had from a long experience learned his worth, but that his devoti 
 to duty an<l able and conscientious discharge of it, exceeded all nij 
 thoughts. I am sure he carries with him into his arduous fiehl of woi 
 the best wishes of many friends. The Secretary of the C^^hurch Missi 
 ary Society has notified to me the intention of that Society, who fi 
 Patron of th*; (Jhair of Exegetical Theology with its attacrhed Canonr 
 to present tho Rev. J. I). O'Meara and I expect to receive the present 
 tion within a few weeks, when he will be inducted. The Archdeacon 
 of ManitoV)a and Cumberlan<l are ex-officio Canons. These, wit 
 myself as Dean,, will form at present the Chapter of the Cathedrj 
 I purpose committing the fabric and churchyard as well a8 the generi 
 management of the C^athedral into the liands of the (yhapter, 
 Ti*U8teea for the Diocese, whose Church it is. But tlunigh, as I alread 
 .stated, this Church will in future stand out more distinctly as tl 
 Cathedml Church of the J iocese, for which purpose the money waj 
 given with which it was erected, there will V)e, as before, Vestry ani 
 Parish Meetings to maintain the closest undei*standing an<l synjpatli 
 between the (Jlergy and those who ordinarily woi*ship here. Th 
 Statute of the Cathedral bearing on the relations of the Parish witl 
 the Chapter will not be definitely settled till next Easter. 
 
 Well, beloved Bretliren, I would desire to consecrate all that has been 
 done in this matter — and what has been done has required mucl| 
 thought and much effort — singly to the Glory of God. I pray that 
 large blessing from God may rest on all this undertaking. We mli 
 beginning the ninth year of St. John's College since I revived it. Oi^ 
 the 1st of November, 1860, masters and pupils assembled. Two ar 
 still with us who ijntercd as boys then, now helping us so greatly thai 
 I hardly know how we shall do without them. If their future shoubl 
 1)6 like their ])ast, I think we sball have no reason to be as! . ine(| 
 of the results of our trainin<x. 
 
 Brethren, we would desirt^ to go on trusting in God. May manj 
 g^xlly and learned Ministei's of God's Word be trained within the watlJ 
 

 
 Rt. .Tuhii's, and may tlioHO not inti'ndrd for any Holy function, but 
 li)ly scholars in the C(»lIego school, Ijc enabled still by the Grace of 
 ll to jrrovv here in the lii^her life as well as otherwise, so as to live 
 ^h(Mr several spheres for the Glory of God and the udifictation of the 
 
 ireh. 
 
 And now, dear Brethren, in {.^)ing forward in this work, I do not 
 
 »w any ])ractical exhortation better suited to our circumstances than 
 
 it which 1 chose as my text. It may seem ahit,d» standard of duty — 
 
 itever we do in word or deed — to do all in the name of tho Lord 
 
 |us; but no child of dod, however he may be conscious of coming 
 
 ^entably slu>rt of it, can know any other. Whether we eat or drink 
 
 diatever we do, we should do all to the Glory of God. And when we 
 
 [s do all in the name of Jesus, we shall (;arry about with us a very 
 
 >roving remembrance of our own nothingness and his sufficiency. 
 
 thing will so well teach us to do the work of our nlace and station, 
 
 rtily, to the best of our ability, and with cheerful diligence, " as 
 
 o the Lord and not to men." And there can be no better encourage- 
 
 it to us in this, than the jiractice of giving thanks to God and tne 
 
 [her hy Him, as suggested in the concluding words of my text, 
 
 jther we regard this as thanking God for the great love wherewith 
 
 [has loved us, or for what sei*vice He has enabled us to do for Him. 
 
 Brethren, time would fail me if I were to endeavour to point out 
 much we have to thank God for in the past in this Diocese and 
 [his place in all His gracious dealings with us. 
 
 Let us remember we can best show our thankfulness by studying 
 Bve worthy of His love and goodness to us, by studying to kee])^iis 
 lely as possible to Jesus, by making His will and pleasure the test 
 ill we do and say. ? 
 
 And now to God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy 
 )st, one God, be ascribed all honour and glory, dominion and power 
 praise, now and for evermore. Amen.
