PREFACE. 
 
 Ibe collection of the following notes concerning 
 Queen's College was commenced in the early part of 
 1892, in coDsequence of discussions having taken 
 place about the legal status of the College during 
 several sessions of the Synod. Whilst on the spot 
 as Principal, I was anxious to gather together all the 
 information that could be obtained upon this subject 
 and to print it in a form which would be readily 
 accessible to those interested. 
 
 It was also one of ray eainest desires to see in 
 print those remarkable Rules drawn up for the 
 College by Bishop Feild, that " hardy Apostle of 
 Fishermen," to whose noble example the Church of 
 England owes so much. 
 
 These Rules will be found in Chapter IL They 
 form a " link in that mysterious and ever lengthen- 
 " ing chain that binds us back through the ages to 
 " primitive Christianity, fulfilling its essential and 
 " unearthly Mission ' arguere mundum de peccato.' "* 
 
 Towards the end of June 1892, I left Newfound- 
 land, after a coniiection of "some 20 years with the 
 Diocese, in order to take charge of a parish in 
 England. These notes about the College were not 
 then complete, but the proof sheets had been 
 corrected and were in the printer's hands. Then 
 came the fire of the 8th July 1892. The M.S. and 
 proof sheets were burnt, and I have never had time 
 to put together the fragments which remained in my

 i' Nineteenth Century." October 1891.

 hands in the form of duplicates, which happened 
 to have been made by the type writer. 
 
 The Rev. C. Enapp, who succeeded me as Principal, 
 has now undertaken to edit the notes, bringing!; them 
 up to date and adding much interesting matter, 
 particularly Chapters I. and III. I had hoped that 
 he would have added to this Preface, but he desires 
 to leave it entirely in my hands. 
 
 Mr. Knapp has already completed nearly five years' 
 most useful work an Principal of Queen's College. 
 He is, therefore, well qualified to give the information 
 contained in these notes. 
 
 He has, moreover, greatly interested himself in the 
 proposed enlargement of the College, as will be seen 
 by the extracts from the " Newfoundland Diocesan 
 Magazine," given in Chapter III. A chief aim in 
 the enlargement is to provide a year's training for 
 young Deacons. 
 
 It only remains for me to record my gratefu 
 thanks to all who from personal knowledge hav 
 aided in the compilation of these notes.

 CHAPTER L 
 The Foundation and Growth of the College. 
 
 Queen s College, St. John's, or as it was first called, 
 the Theological Institution, owes its origin to Bishop 
 Spencer, the first Bishop of Newfoundland. 
 
 It was an attempt upon the part of the Bishov '^ 
 increase the number of Clergy in the island, whxist 
 at the same time giving the Students |. actical 
 experience m missionary life. It was fouaded in 
 1841. 
 
 during the episcopate of Bishop Spencer tae 
 Students had no proper College, but were boarded 
 with a Mrs. Brown, a Congregationalist, and attended 
 lectures during the daytime at a small schoolroom 
 situated in the Mall close to St. Thomas' Church, 
 and were under the care of the Rector of the 
 Church. The Students were six in number, and 
 were supported by the generosity of the Society for 
 the Propagation of the Gospel, which Society has 
 ever been a good friend to the College. 
 
 Writing in 1841 to tlie Society Bishop Spencer 
 says: "The number of student catechiste will be 
 " now complete by the son of the Rev. Jos. Fraser 
 " Lightbourn, Rector of Pembroke, Bermuda,* whom 
 " I expect in the course of the summer. The 
 " advantage of the Institution as at once supplying 
 " the outports of St. John's with lay readers, and 
 " establishing a seminaiy for future missionaries, 
 " is obvious ; and I am deeply grateful to the 
 " Society for enabling me to confer so great a benefit 
 " on the Colony." 
 
 * The Bishop of NewfounillHnd is also Bishop of Bermuda. 
 
12 
 
 In August of the following year he speaks of the 
 Theological Institution as founded, and adds that six 
 students are instructed by the Bishop's Chaplain. In 
 August 1843 the Rev. C. Blackman was appointed 
 first Principal of the Institution, which the Bishop 
 refers to as the ' " nucleus of a college." When 
 Bishop Feild landed on the island in 1844, he 
 described the College " as a poor wooden building 
 " in which six students attended daily to receive 
 " instruction from the clergyman of St. Thomas' 
 " Church." They lived, he adds, in lodgings, and 
 were under no surveillance. The Bishop at once 
 saw the need of a building in which Students could 
 reside under the charge of the Principal, and took 
 steps to accomplish this. 
 
 As a tempomry expedient the Bishop secured a 
 house in which the Students could live together, and 
 which should be the site for the future College (1847). 
 The Students were now under the caie of the Rev. H. 
 Tuckwell, who had also under his charge the 
 Outport Mission of St. John's, consisting of five 
 churches and the collegiate school, with only the 
 assistance of a Deacon, now Dr. Tremlett, of Belsize 
 Park, London. " He is a great Pluralist, and a great 
 Hero," wrote the Bishop of Mr. Tuckwell. 
 
 In the same year the Bishop issued the following 
 scheme for the future working of the Institution : — 
 
 Queen's College in Newfoundland. 
 
 "Ad laudem, gtoriam, et honorem Nominie 
 CRUCIFIXIf ad avMentcdionem et exaltationem 
 Fidei Christiance, et ad Ecclesiw Sanctoi 
 profectum." 
 
 Edward, Bishop of Newfoundland, To his Brethren 
 and Friends of dear Mother Church in England, 
 sends health and greeting in the Lord. 
 
 " In furtherance of the erection of a College in my 
 diocese, recommended and promoted by many kind 
 
13 
 
 and judicious friendu, for the tiaining and instruction 
 particularly of Theological Students and Candidates 
 for Holy Orders, and, with them, of any young men 
 desirous of a liberal and enlarged education. I have 
 purchased a very eligible piece of ground as a site 
 for the necessary buildings. The situation 's healthy 
 and convenient, removed from the business and 
 bustle of the town, and yet within a stone's cast of 
 the Church of St. Thomas, and of the land granted 
 for an episcopal residence. There is space enough 
 for a college and collegiate school, with a useful 
 garden. 
 
 " Now, then, dear friends and brethren, we have 
 the much desired opportunity of giving to the College 
 and its schools in Newfoundland a local habitation 
 and a name. 
 
 A Theological Institution and Collegiate School, it 
 should be observed, have been for some time in 
 operation, and are a source of much present satis- 
 faction, and full promise of further usefulness and 
 success, but both are much hindered and degraded by 
 being carried on in small hired houses, not contiguous, 
 and very deficient in accommodation. Both these 
 houses are hired at my own cost and charge. The 
 school does not pay its expenses, giving a small salary 
 to only one master. For the Theological Institution 
 there is no payment or provision, beyond the exhi- 
 bition to each Student from the Society for the 
 Propagation of the Goppel. The Theological Students 
 pass to the school-house, where the Master resides, 
 for their lectures and meals; which, though the 
 distance is not great, is often painful, and sometimes 
 almost hazardous in the snows and frosts of this 
 severe and changeable climate. Moreover, the 
 Students have but one small sitting-room in common 
 for study, and no clergyman or tutor can reside with 
 them. 
 
14 
 
 " My wish is, therefore, to erect on tlie ground now 
 purchased plain but characteristic buildings (of wood 
 or stone, according to our means), sufficient for a 
 small college and collegiate school, with a chapel, 
 hall, library, and lodgings for tutors, &;c. 
 
 " The episcopal residence, if ever erected, on the 
 site granted for that purpose, will be so near, that 
 the Bishop and Clergy living with him might easily 
 take part in the oversight and instruction of the 
 Students. (They even now come to me every 
 morning, at nine o'clock, for a lecture in Divinity.) 
 
 " I would submit to my friends the propriety of 
 naming the new establishment Queen's College (if 
 such a title can be permitted and sanctioned), for the 
 following reasons : — 
 
 "(1) In duty and devotion to Her Most Gracious 
 Majesty Queen Victoria, whom God preserve ; and 
 for perpetual testimony of the loyalty and attachment 
 to th€! sacred and paternal form of monarchical 
 government ever to be inculcated in botli College and 
 school. 
 
 " (2) In respectful recognition of benefits conferred 
 on the Church in Newfoundland by Her Majesty 
 the Queen Dowager. 
 
 '* (3.) In testimony of my reverent and grateful 
 esteem of the Queen's College in Oxford, at which I 
 was educated, and at and from which I have received 
 so many undeserved kindnesses and benefits, from 
 the day of my entrauce there to this very time ; and 
 to bespeak, if it may be, the favour and love of that 
 society, with its fellows and scholars of both foun- 
 dations, towards its namesake — as a parent towards 
 its child. 
 
 " (4) In humble imitation of the College at Windsor, 
 in the diocese of Nova Scotia, which sought and 
 obtained the honour, under a Royal Charter, of being 
 called ' King's College,' 
 
15 
 
 " If this name should be approved and alFowed, I 
 should wish the Chief Officer, who would always be ft 
 Clergjrman in Priest's Orders, to be called the Provost. 
 He would be constantly resident, and with two 
 Fellows, also resident, might conduct all the business 
 of the College and School, in regard both of instruc- 
 tion and discipline. The Provost might be married, 
 but the two Fellows must be unmarried. One at 
 least of the resident Fellows should always be in 
 Holy Orders, and have the title and authority of 
 Vice-Provost. 
 
 "There should be three Honorary Fellows, who, 
 together M'ith the Provost and lesident Fellows, 
 should form a Council, to advise the Bislibp in 
 framing and altering rules, &c., and in the absence of 
 the Bishop carry on all the concerns of the College 
 and School. 
 
 " The Bishop should be the Visitor, and have 
 power to appoint, and remove, all the officers of the 
 establishment, and to make, alter, and rescind the 
 rules, &c. 
 
 "Rooms should be provided for twelve resident 
 Students in the College. Six of these would be 
 exhibitioners of the Society for the Propagation of 
 the Gospel, preparing for Holy Orders. One, or 
 more of these, would be required to assist in the 
 instruction of the boys in the school ; and all would 
 work in the garden, both for recreation, and for 
 training in an occupation which may be useful to 
 themselves and others in new settlements. 
 
 " In the School also there should be accommodation 
 for twelve boarders. Any number of day scholars 
 may attend to receive instruction with them. 
 
 " The Students of the College and Boys of the 
 School would be together at (chapel and Hall, but at 
 other times would be quite separate, and live and be 
 instructed apart. 
 
 A 
 
16 
 
 " To carry this most desirable plan into successful 
 operation, it is obvious that the first and most 
 essential requisite is an endowment, even more 
 essential than the Collegiate Buildings. With funds, 
 a hired house, though inconvenient and inappropriate, 
 might be made sufficient, but without them the best 
 buildings vvould be rather a burden than a benefit. 
 It might be possible to commence with the Provost 
 and one resident Fellow. An endowment for these, 
 with funds to sustain the buildings themselves, pay 
 insurance, &c., would fill us with joy and hope, and, 
 with God's blessing, would soon render the whole 
 establishment useful and acceptable. It must be 
 remembered that in the College there would not be, 
 for some years, more than two or three independent 
 Students, and the charge for their education must be 
 very low. In an entirely commercial community a 
 prolonged and enlarged education is seldom required 
 or desired. 
 
 " It is especially intended that the sous of the 
 clergy should profit by the School and College. The 
 School also should be understood to lead on to the 
 College, so that in filling up the vacant exhibitions 
 the deserving Scholars would always have a 
 preference. 
 
 "Now, should there be such prospect of a per- 
 manent endowment as to justify the undertaking, it 
 would be very expedient to lay the foundations, and 
 make other preparations for the buildings this year, 
 in order that next year they may be completed ; to 
 whatever extent it may be prudent at that time 
 to go. 
 
 " Simple plans and drawings for the buildings in 
 wood, stone, or brick, ivith estimates, &:c., would be 
 very acceptable. 
 
 " It seems right and necessary to put the friends 
 and promoter of this great work in possession of i^s 
 
II 
 
 17 
 
 many particulars as possible ; and, with that purpose, 
 this long detail will not, I trust, be considered tedious 
 or superfluous. 
 
 " I would now humbly commend the good and 
 great work, and all who befriend it, to the favour 
 and blessinj; of Almighty God. May the Queen's 
 College in Newfoundland be tiie honoured, though 
 humble, instrument of promoting learning and 
 loyalty, charity and piety, duty to God and man. 
 * And let the beauty of the Lord our God bfi upon us: 
 ' and establish Thou the work of our hands upon us, 
 ' yea, the work of our hands establish Thou it.' " 
 
 The scheme is a bold and masterly attempt to 
 grapple with the ditficulty of getting and training 
 men for the mission field, and has never yet been 
 fully realised. It was closely allied with the rest, 
 of the great educational policy of the Bishop, and 
 whilst it made tlie training of the missionaries the 
 first care and object of the Institution, it 3'et con- 
 templated the provision of a college education for 
 those who were to enter the civil walks of life. 
 
 The plans for the entire building are still extant ; 
 and a large portion of the existing College was 
 intended to form part of this ; the addition of the 
 library in later years upon a diflerent plan 
 has, howev^er, gone far to prevent them ever beings 
 completed. It should be noted how careful the 
 Bishop is to centre the supreme authority in the 
 episcopacy ; the College was to be controlled by 
 the Bishop, assisted by an advising Council. 
 
 By 1850 the first portion of the College had been 
 erected, and the Bishop drew up directions and 
 regulations for its future guidance. These are still 
 in the College in the Bishop's own handwriting, and 
 are in themselves of particular value, as showing the 
 rigid discipline to which the Bishop thought it advisable 
 to subject the Student that he might be prepared to

 meet the hardships of after life. They will be found 
 printed in extenao in another chapter (see p. 33). 
 Although they may be now regarded in some minor 
 matters as too ascetic, austere, and out of date, yet 
 their general principles still regulate the daily life of 
 the College. 
 
 The Bishop is careful in these regulations again to 
 reserve to his office the absolute government of the 
 College ; he called to his aid three of the resident 
 clergy of St. John's to advise and assist him in its 
 management, but the final decision and the appoint- 
 ment of College officers rested in the Bishop alone. 
 The life of the College was indeed " a course of study, 
 frugality, retirement, and devotion," and was in- 
 tended to harden the men physically for the life 
 they were to enter. Self-reliance and co-operation 
 were the chief duties inculcated, and the splendid 
 life of the Bishop himself upheld the spirit of devotion 
 amongst the men. It may be questioned, however, 
 whether the good Bishop did not judge the powers of 
 endurance and the devotion of the men too much by 
 his own measure, and the rule pressed hardly on many 
 a young student. Describing the College a few 
 years later the Bishop writes : — 
 
 " The change and improvement in the * Theological 
 College,' or Institution, may next be noticed. I was 
 enabled to purchase a very convenient piece of land, 
 with a neat cottage upon it, to which I added a hall 
 and dormitories for the students. I have placed the 
 whole establishment under a clergyman, as vice- 
 principal, who resides in the house, takes his meals 
 with the students, lectures and instructs them, piays 
 with them in the house morning and evening, meets 
 them at the neighbouring church every morning, and 
 at the cathedral every evening, and in every way 
 guides and counsels them in preparation for the work 
 of the ministry in Newfoundland. The archdeacon, 
 
i^P.UP'"|iJ"*' 
 
 19 
 
 , 
 
 or incumbent of the cathedral^ is principal, and gives 
 lectures also. The present vice-principal is an A.M. 
 of Pembroke College, Oxford." 
 
 The College, as at present constituted, was now 
 really started, but it was still without endowment, 
 and was kept up by an annual grant of 300?. from 
 the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, and 
 much help from the Bishop's own pocket. 
 
 In 1852 we find that the Society for Promoting 
 Christian Knowledge made a grant of 2,000?., 
 which must have greatly aided the Bishop in his 
 work. 
 
 The College had for a considerable period a Principal 
 and Vice-Principal, the former being usually one of 
 the City Clergy, whilst the latter was an unmarried 
 man residing in College with the students. 
 
 During the period when the Vice-Principalship was 
 vacant, tlie Bishop frequeatly lived in the College 
 himself ; and at times he found no little difficulty in 
 securing a good man to take up the work ; the 
 stipend was but 100?. a year, and there were few 
 ready to i^acritice themselves for the colonial life. 
 Thus we find the Bishop writing in 1851 : — 
 
 " I am ac present in need of, and desirous to obtain, 
 the services of a Vice -Principal or Tutor; but of 
 course have to contend with tlie usual difficulty of 
 nulla bona or no funds. Let me then mention what 
 I should require, or at least desire, in, and of, my 
 Vice-Principal or Tutor. In him, a Clergyman, 
 unmarried ; a fair Scholar, a^it to teach, and not 
 unwilling to be taught; able and disposed to take 
 part in Sunday duty either in St. John's or the 
 neigl.bouriniT outports, and to walk occasionally for 
 that purpose eight or nine miles. Need I say that 
 all external gifts, powers, and accomplishments would 
 
 B 2 
 
ao 
 
 be of little value without a sound understanding, a 
 right mind, and an honest and good heart, — a heart 
 zealous in the cause, jpro ecclesid Dei. Of him I 
 should expect or desire that he would instruct 
 the Students (chiefly in the classics) under tho 
 Principal's direction or mine ; live with the Students 
 (that is, in the same house, and taking meals at the 
 same table, but of course with separate rooms for 
 study, &c,) ; take the entire domestic management, 
 under my direction — say the sei'vice morning and 
 evening, and assist in the Sunday duty at Church, 
 either, as I said before, in St. John's or the neigh- 
 bouring out-ports. And all this for 1001. a year ? 
 No, my good brother. That sum will provide things 
 necessary and convenient for the present life, but the 
 recompense must be looked for elsewhere, and will 
 not be withheld ; ' he shall in no wise lose his reward.' 
 Why should not one of the Jesus College Missionaiy 
 Fellows undertake such an office ? Is the thought 
 too presumptuous ?" 
 
 The next step was the raising of an endowment 
 fund, but it was some years before the Bishop was 
 in a position to commence this. In December 1861, 
 writing from Bermuda, he says : " If I could raise 
 " 5,000?. the Institution would be safe, but there is 
 " this evil inherent in all colonial institutions, that 
 " their continuance, and much more (heir prosperity, 
 " depends on the will and ability of the Bishop to 
 " maintain them : I mean, that if any Bishop were 
 " to set his face against this College, or not cordially 
 " to support it, he might suppress it and let it die an 
 " unnatural death, and might appropriate or apply 
 " the property to some other purpose." 
 
 At length, in 1866, the endowment fund was 
 smarted by an address issued by the Bishop to Church 
 people of Newfoundland. 
 
21 
 
 Ifc was as follows : — 
 
 Proposal for Forming and Establishing an 
 Endowment Fund. 
 
 For the Church of England in the Diocese of 
 
 Xevfoundland. ' 
 
 My Dear Brethren and Friends, 
 
 The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel 
 in Foreign Parts, at the close of last year kindly 
 consented, at my earnest request, in consideration of 
 the failure of the fisheries and consequent general 
 distress, to renew and continue for three years all 
 tbeir large and liberal grants to the Church of this 
 Diocese, viz. : — 
 
 1st. For the Students in our Theological Od'ege 
 (not exceeding six in number), 50^. each, say, 300^. 
 sterling; 2nd, to myself, as Bishop, 500Z. ; and 
 3rd, to all the then engaged Missionaries (34 in 
 number), their annual stipends, amounting together 
 to 3,775J. And, besides these large sums, the Society 
 is now paying pensions to three widows of Mis- 
 sionaries (hOl. each). The aggregate, therefore, is 
 very nearly 5,000^. sterling per annum. 
 
 This, however, was done, and (having regard to 
 the many new and urgent demands upon the Society's 
 funds, and our very long enjoyment of their liberal 
 aid) could only with Justice be so done, upon the 
 condition or express understanding that in these 
 three years we should form and establish some 
 Endowment Fund for the Church in this Diocese; 
 as in all, or nearly all, the ether Colonial Dioceses. 
 No one will dispute the equity and propriety of such 
 a condition ; none of us, I hope and believe, will 
 refuse to recognise the obligations we lie under, both 
 of duty and interest, to give it effect. 
 
9S 
 
 Now it has occurred to me, and tha friends whom 
 I have consulted, both Clergy and Laity, generally 
 agree, that we may expect to have most success in 
 forming such a fund (and so best meet the Society's 
 requirements) by directing it, in the first instance, to 
 a specific and possibly attainable object, such as the 
 support of our Theological College, and there are 
 several considenitions which make this oltject appear 
 of paramount importance, and inspire the hope that 
 it will meet with general favour and ass'stance. 
 
 Ist It is the most certain or most likely means 
 of obtaining a supply of men for the work of the 
 Ministry of this Diocese ; and it ought to be generally 
 known that it is in vain to look to other Colonies or 
 to England for Clergy ; as not only in the Colonies 
 but in England it is found impossible at present to 
 meet the pressing and increasing demand for them. 
 
 2nd. It presents an inducement and affords an 
 opportunity to young men in the Colony to devote 
 and prepare themselves for tlie service of the Church, 
 who might otherwise want the mind or tl>e means of 
 seeking and obtaining the necessary education and 
 training elsewhere. It should be understood that 
 board, lodging, and education are all provided free of 
 expense in our College. 
 
 3rd. The number of Clergymen who have been 
 educated and trained wholly or in part in the College 
 is now sufficiently large (19 or 20) to testify the 
 usefulness and efficiency of the Institution ; and we 
 may confidently reckon upon their earnest advocacy. 
 
 4th. Though the education and training of young 
 men for the Ministry fall legitimately within the 
 purpose and the plans of the Society, the support of 
 the Missionaries and Ministers is more directly and 
 avowedly their object, and we may reasonably hope 
 and expect that the latter object will be promoted 
 
 \ 
 
 
1 
 
 23 
 
 and extended, rather than the former, by the 
 Society. 
 
 For these reasons I venture to recommend that the 
 Endowment Fund be directed, in the first instance, to 
 tlie support of our College, and the relinquishment of 
 the Society's grant to the extent of our success. Fully 
 to accomplish this object, a capital sum of 6,000^. 
 sterling will be required, or a certain income of 
 300?. sterling per annum at the least, barely 
 sufficient, with the strictest frugality, for the main- 
 tenance of a Vice-Principal, six students, and two 
 servants, after deducting a salary of 100?. cunency 
 for the Vice-Principal. It is, I presume, generally 
 known by assistance from the two gi-eat Chnrch 
 Societies in England, I was enabled several years 
 ago to purchase a house on a convenient site which 
 I have enlarged and made suitable for our purpose. 
 I have also secured some adjoining property, sufficient 
 when one annuity drops (which may shortly be 
 expected) to meet the expense of painting and 
 repairs, now paid by myself. 
 
 Having thus explained the circumstances, and 
 stated my views, I come now to the great question : 
 How can this capital sum of 6,000?. sterling, or the 
 income of 300?. sterling a year, be realised and 
 secured in this and the two next following years ? 
 All will admit that it is both our duty and interest 
 first and most to exert ourselves; our duty having 
 regard to our obligations to the Venerable Society 
 which imposes this condition; our interest, if we 
 desire to procure for ourselves and those who come 
 after us, a supply of duly educated and rightly 
 trained Ministers. 
 
 Our Church Society, fully recognising both the 
 importance and difficulty of the question, resolved at 
 the last General Meeting to grant the sum of 500?. 
 (as was done at the formation of the Clergy Widows' 
 
24 
 
 and Orphans' Fund) for the commencement and 
 foundation of an endowment. And I now propose 
 to solicit donations or subscriptions to be paid in 
 this and the two following yenrs, the first to be due 
 at Michaelmas next, and if a real and good com- 
 mencement be made in this countiy, I will cheerfully 
 undertake to solicit further subscriptions in England. 
 It is, however, of importance that I should know, 
 as soon as possible, what each person proposes to 
 contribute in the three years. I pray God to give 
 you all the will to assist according to your power, 
 for your own and His Church's sake, throvigh Jesus 
 Christ our Lord and Saviour. 
 
 I am, my dear Brethren and Friends, 
 Your Servant for Jesus' sake, 
 ED WD. NEWFOUNDLAND. 
 July 2, 1866. 
 
 To the Clergy and Laity of 
 the Church of England in 
 Newfoundland. 
 
 "' N.B. — It is intended, when the Newfoundland 
 subscriptions amount to 3,000?., to remodel the College 
 Council ; the Clergy of St. John's (as at present) to 
 be and continue members ex officio, with an equal 
 number of lay members, to be appointed as agreed 
 on by the Subscribers. The Rules and Regulations 
 of the College will then be submitted to the Council 
 for revision. 
 
 At a second meeting of tiie subscribers, held on 
 Monday, the 27th instant, after notice given in the 
 Churches, it was resolved that the subscriptions shall 
 be, for tiie present, deposited in the Savings' Bank 
 and the Commercial Bank in St. John's, which has 
 been done up to the present time.

 Appended to this letter was a first list of sub- 
 scriptions. In 1869 the Bishop again wrote to his 
 people about the College Fund, urging theiu to 
 greater efforts on its behalf; The following is a copy 
 of the letter : — 
 
 The Rectory, 
 
 October 27, 1869. 
 My Dear Brethren and Friends, 
 
 A year having elapsed since the last list of 
 Subscriptions to the College Endowment Fund was 
 printed and circulated.. I think you should be made 
 acquainted with the sums paid in that interval, and 
 the total amount T>aid and promised up to the present 
 time. 
 
 While thankfully acknowledging the instalments 
 (nearly all) paid up, and a few new names of Sub- 
 scribers added to the list, I must express my regret 
 that there are still so many Missions in which no 
 collections have been made. I am unwilling to believe 
 that any Mission or Congregation in the Diocese 
 would refuse to embrace this opportunity, if duly 
 presented, (1) of supporting and maintaining an 
 Institution to which the Church in this Diocese is 
 indebted for the education and training of more than 
 half the number of their hard-working clergy, most 
 of them natives of the Colony ; (2) of giving some 
 substantial proof of gratitude to that noble Society 
 which has for so many years (for more than a century) 
 contributed, and still contributes, so largely and 
 liberally to the support of the Bishop and Clergy of 
 this Diocese ; and (3) of preventing, by reducing the 
 demands upon the Society's bounty for the support 
 of the College, the threatened reduction of the 
 Society's allowance to the Clergy — a reduction which 
 has been carried out in all the other North American 
 Colonies. This was the three-fold object I had in 
 view in collecting this Fund, and I trust it may yet 
 
26 
 
 receive more general and liberal support in the 
 Diocese. It will be kept open for that purpose 
 another year. All the amounts hitherto received 
 have been paid to the Treasurers of the Society for 
 the Propagation of the Gospel to be invested, together 
 with the sums collected in England and Bermuda, 
 amounting to upwards of 3,385^. sterling. 
 
 A very large addition (more than 320^. currency) 
 has been made to the Fund by the disinterested and 
 effective i)leadings of the Rev. Mr. Botwood in 
 Canada and New York ; and the Rev. Mr. Caswall is 
 now engaged in the same good service for the Church 
 and Diocese, whose interests ho still fondly desires 
 to promote. 
 
 The s'jms received in Newfoundland, including the 
 500?. from the funds of the Church Society and two 
 liberal Contributions by Visitors, do not yet amount 
 to 2,500?. currency. 
 
 Earnestly hoping — for both the honour and benefit 
 of the Diocese — that a considerable addition may be 
 made to the Fund in the ensuing year. 
 
 I remain, my dear Brethren and Friend.^, 
 
 Your Servant for Jesus' sake, 
 
 EDWD. NEWFOUNDLAND. 
 
 A further list of subscriptions was published with 
 this letter, and on June 15, 1871, the Bishop was 
 able to issue a final Statement, which ran as 
 follows : — 
 
 The Rectory, 
 June 15, 1871. 
 My Dear Brethren and Friends, 
 
 A multiplicity of engagements has delayed, 
 much longer than I had wished and intended, this 
 third and final statement of the Subscriptions and 
 
 
■ 
 
 27 
 
 Collections for the College Endowment Fund. By 
 calling and making this Statement, the " final " one, 
 I do not mean that more Subscriptions are not 
 wanted or would not be received ; for I am prepared 
 to receive, and thankfully acknowledge, -any sums, 
 great or small, in furtherance of an object of so much 
 importance to the Church in this Diocese ; and a very 
 considerable amount is still required to make the 
 College independent of extraneous aid. 
 
 I have but little to add, in the way of remark or 
 explanation, to my former Statements. I am glad 
 to repeat my grateful acknowledgments of many 
 liberal subscriptions, and equally sorry that still in 
 several Missions no collections have been made — 
 Missions, more than one or two, which have been 
 assisted by the bounty of the Society for the Propa- 
 gation of the Gospel for, I believe, nearly a centui y, and 
 are still assisted by, I might say almost subsisting upon 
 it, in the use and enjoyment of their spiritual things. 
 And I have plainly stated that one object of this 
 Collection is to testify our grateful appreciation of 
 the Society's liberality, by relieving the Society of 
 the support given to the College (which indeed might 
 any day be withdrawn), while the allowance to the 
 Missionaries, in this alone of all the old Colonial 
 Diocese*, is not reduced. 
 
 The new Subscriptions since the publication of the 
 last preceding Statement are printed in italics, but 
 most of these were included, in the aggregate, in the 
 Summary submitted at the last meeting of out Church 
 Society. The English Subscriptions also have been 
 increased, thougli no new appeal has been made ; and 
 I have particular pleasure in recording a donation of 
 50?. sterling by the Warden of St. Augustine's College, 
 Canterbury, for an annual prize. 
 
 Of the second year's collection in Bermuda, 100/. 
 sterling was the gift of a generous visitor, an officer 
 in the Goveinor's staff. 
 
28 
 
 I have been enabled to double my own Subscription 
 by an unexpected legacy (divided, I believe, in equal 
 portions between five Colonial dioceses) left by an 
 £ngli;3li Clergyman (who died in America), for the 
 advancement of religion in connexion with the Church, 
 in such manner as the Bishops of those dioceses might 
 deem most useful and expedient. 
 
 The sum, added to the fund by the disinterested 
 and effective pleadings of the Rev. Mr. Botwood, in 
 Canada and New York, amounted to S2bl. Is. ; and 
 the gleanings, no less disinterested, by the Rev. Mr. 
 Caswall, in the same field, to 751. lis. lid. 
 
 The whole sum now invested amounts to rather 
 more than 7,000^., 3 per cent, consols, and a Deed of 
 Trust has been drawn up securing it to the College 
 through the Bishop. 
 
 I am, my dear Brethren and Friends, 
 
 Your Servant for Jesus' sake, 
 
 ED. NEWFOUNDLAND.

 N.B. — In the last Report of the Committee of the 
 Church Soc^iety (1870) the money invested in the 
 3 per cent. Consols (6,350^.) was, by mistake, summed 
 up, with other moneys, a? sterling, making the total 
 5001. larger tiian it really was. 
 
 It will be seen that the sum now invested, say 
 7,000?. 3 per c^nt. Consols (6,440i. sterling), exceeds 
 the amount o^ subscriptions and collections here 
 recorded (6,303?.) by 137?. This may be accounted 
 for partly by some interest, and partly by small sums 
 put at my disposal by friends in England — kind 
 friends and wise — enabling me to lay out for them 
 what they may thus have and enjoy for ever. 
 
 Solas quas dederis semper habebis opes. 
 
 E. N. 
 
 The totnl amount finally raised waa 7,500?. The 
 deed of trust alluded to by the Bishop in the above 
 letter is given in the appendix (see p. 90) ; It placed the 
 money in the hands of the Society for the Propagation 
 of the Gospel and provided that it should be invested 
 in British, British North American, or British Indian 
 Eecurities, and that the annunl income should be paid 
 for the maintenance of the College under any scheme 
 sanctioned by the Bishop of the Diocese. It also 
 alluded to a scheme for the future management of 
 the College, but such scheme has never yet been 
 formulated. 
 
30 
 
 The deed sanctioned the transfer of the funds to a 
 local trust, " If with the written approval of the 
 Bishop" but safeguarding the position of the Bishop 
 by appointing him a perpetual trustee. The deed 
 further provided, that if at any future date the funds 
 should prove insufficient to support the present 
 College they should be used for the tniining of men 
 for Newfoundland at St. Augustine's College, Canter- 
 bury, or any British North American Theological. 
 College. The deed has, however, one serious omission, 
 it does not specify the amount of the trust. 
 
 In 1873, the Rev. W. Pilot, the Vice-Principal, 
 commenced to raise a further sum to extend the 
 buildings by the addition of a library, chapel, and 
 two bedrooms; and in 1875, before the Bishop's 
 death, the foundation stone had been laid. A bequest 
 from Miss Lempriere in 1876, together with other 
 moneys placed at his disposal, enabled Bishop Kelly 
 (who had succeeded Bishop Feild in the See) to pay 
 for the remainder of the work. 
 
 He left, by will, (1) the College property, (2) a 
 property to the south of the College known as the 
 Brewery ; (3) the property on the south side of the 
 harbour adjoining St. Mary's Church (if not required 
 for the Rector of St. Mary's Church), and (4) upon 
 his wife's decease, or earlier if she so willed, the 
 property adjoining the College known as Avalon 
 Cottage, to the Diocesan Synod, to be held in trust 
 for the Theological College. The will also referred 
 again to the endowment fund (which it states to be 
 7,400^., yielding 300?. per annum), bequeathing it also 
 to the Synod ; the question whether the Bishop had 
 iiny power to do this has, however, been disputed. 
 (The parts of the will which refer to the College will 
 be found in the Appendix.) 
 
 Bishop Feild entered into his well-earned rest, in 
 the 33rd year of his Episcopate, in June 1876. 
 

 31 
 
 Soon after the arrival of the present Bishop 
 (Dr. Llewellyn Jones), in 1878, the Vice-Principalship 
 was abolished, and the Principal has since resided in the 
 College and made it his sole charge ; this necessitating 
 that he should always be an unmarried man. The 
 first Principal to do this was the Rev. William 
 Johnson in 1882. 
 
 It is worthy of note that the College escaped the 
 great fire of 1892, as did its predecessor in 1842; 
 but j.ur a time the College was closed, the building 
 being used for tlie Bishop's residence ; it was opened 
 again on February 12th, 1894. 
 
 The smallness of the College and the inadequacy 
 of its funils have been recognised for many years, and 
 schemes have been brought forward for diverting 
 the income to another College ; the present Bishop, 
 however, feeling that an institution which has sup- 
 plied more than half of the Clergy of the Colony 
 was too valuable to be lightly discarded, has stead- 
 fastly refused any such proposal, and now has given 
 his sanction to a further extension of the work. 
 
 The present Principal laid before his Lordship 
 in 1896 a scheme for enlarging the College buildings 
 and largely increasing the endowment fund, so as 
 to provide a Principal, Vice -Principal, and three 
 additional Students and two Deacons. The plan 
 contemplates retaining the Students in College during 
 their diaconate, to obviate the necessity of placing 
 them immediately upon ordination in charge of large 
 and scattered Mission settlements, where they and 
 their people are cut off" for many months at a time 
 from the Sacrament of the Altar, and the minis- 
 trations of a Priest. The total cost of the scheme is 
 estimated at about 3,000^. The Society for Promoting 
 Christian Knowledge at once voted 250^. towards the 
 endowment, but in spite of this the plan seemed 
 doomed to failure, and Mr. Knapp resigned his charge 
 
32 
 
 in May last (1897) to return to England ; scarcely 
 had he arrived in England, however, before the 
 Society for the Propagation of the Gospel voted from 
 the funds placed at their disposal by the Marriott 
 Bequest, the very generous grant of 1,000Z. (500^. for 
 building ar,d 500^. for endowment), and he returned 
 again in September to carry on the work. 
 
 In addition to this, the late Miss Pomeroy Pomeroy 
 left the Bishop a legacy of 200^., which he has given 
 to the College. 
 
 Turning to the educational side of tlie College 
 work, the year 1894 marked a distinct advance by the 
 adoption of a recognised standard of matriculation 
 (see p. 86) ; it was feared by some that this would 
 deter men from entering the College, but the revei-se 
 has been the effect ; the College has had for the last 
 year its full number of Students, and the standard is 
 distinctly better. 
 
 Much controversy has taken place concerning the 
 lawful trustees of the College property and funds, 
 but the subject is of such importance that we have 
 dealt with it in a special Appendix.

 The buildings with their site (to bo called " the 
 College") were provided and furnished by piivate 
 bounty, six Students (who must each be fully 
 nineteen years of age) will be lodged, boarded, and 
 instructed without cost or charge. The Lord Bishop 
 of Newfoundland is the Visitor, and witli him rests 
 the appointment of the Principal and other Officers 
 of the Institution (subject to the approval of the 
 Society), together with all Rules for Instruction and 
 Discipline. 
 
 On the nineteenth day of January, in the year of 
 our Lord 1850, the Right Rev. Edward Feild, D.D., 
 Lord Bishop of Newfoundland, as Visitor of the 
 Theological Institution, nominated and appointed the 
 following three persons, viz., — 
 
 (1.) The Rev. Thomas Finch Hobday Bridge, M.A. 
 (the Vicar General and Ecclesiastical Commissary 
 of Newfoundland) ; 
 
 (2.) The Rev. William Grey, M.A. (Principal of the 
 Institution) ; and 
 
 (3.) The Rev. Henry Tuckwell (Master of the Col- 
 legiate School) 
 
 to be the Council of the Institution, to advise and 
 assist the Visitor. 
 
 At the same time his Lordship confirmed the 
 Rev. William Grey, M.A., in the situation and office 
 of Principal, and the following six gentlemen in 
 their situation as Students, viz. : — 
 
 (1.) Charles Walsh. 
 
 (2.) William Brown. 
 
 (3.) Thomas Willoughhy Blackman. 
 
 (4.) Parmenas Pearce Mudge. 
 
 C5.) Josiah Darrell. 
 
 (6.) Charles P. K, Coombe.

 Immediately upon the appointment and confirmation 
 of the Officers and Students of the Institution, a 
 meeting of the Council was held in the College, when 
 the Visitor submitted to the Council certain directions 
 and regulations for the Students; which, having been 
 allowed by the Council, were presently read and made 
 known to the Students, as follows : — 
 
 The object of the Theological Institution being to 
 prepare young men by a course of study, frugality, 
 retirement, and devotion for the office and duties of 
 Missionaries in Newfoundland, some directions and 
 regulations for the Students in furtheronce of that 
 object may be necessary, or at least useful ; though 
 it is hoped and expected that the word of 'the Principal 
 would ever be regarded by them, and so obeyed as a 
 safe and sufficient rule. 
 
 1. Study. — The chief object of study will, of course, 
 be Theology ; and, with a view to the attainment 
 and application of Theology for Missionary service, 
 instruction will be given m the Latin and Greek 
 languages, in English composition, and in Ancient and 
 Modern History. Encouragement will also be afforded 
 to study Mathematics, Logic, and Music. 
 
 The course of study necessary for each Student 
 will be prescribed and directed by the Principal. 
 
 Each Student must provide for himself the books 
 for his lectures, with the requisite Grammars and 
 Dictionaries; and the following elementary books 
 should be brought or bought, upon entrance by 
 everyone, viz. : — 
 
 1 English Dictionary. 
 1 Latin Grammar. 
 1 Latin Dictionary. 
 1 Greek Grammar. 
 1 Greek Dictionary. 
 1 Latin Bible. 
 
 2 
 
36 
 
 1 Greek Testament. 
 
 1 Holy Bible (with Apocrypha and Marginal 
 
 References). 
 1 Holy Bible (for the pocket). 
 1 Book of Common Prayer (for the table). 
 1 Book of Common Prayer (for the pocket). 
 1 Nelson's Festivals and Fasts. 
 1 Companion to the Altar. 
 T Atlas of Ancient and Modern Geography. 
 1 Elements of Euclid. 
 1 Slate, with pens, pencils, and stationery. 
 
 All the above-named books must be sound and 
 perfect, and with the owner's name inscribed. 
 
 Other books, as requiied by each Student, may be 
 purchased in the College, for which immediate 
 payment must be male. 
 
 All the books of each Student must be submitted 
 to the Principal's ijis|iection whenever he may 
 require it ; and any books which he considers 
 improper or unsuitable mu'^t be removed. 
 
 No periodicals or newspapers may be introduced, 
 either for general or private use, without the 
 Principal's sanction. 
 
 Each Student will be provided with a separate 
 desk for his own books and papers, and some books 
 of reference will be placed and kept in the hall for 
 common use. 
 
 [The It-ctures will be chiofiy given in the original 
 lecture-room of the Institution, built by the Society 
 for that purpose, the key of which will always remaiu 
 with the Principal.] 
 
 There will be a half-yearly examination of the 
 Students, at which the Visitor, when in St. John's, 
 will usually preside, assisted by his Council. In the 
 Bishop's absence the Commissary will preside. 
 
 I 
 
37 
 
 There will be two vacations every year, each of 
 four weeks, one at Christmas, the other at Midsummer. 
 During the Christmas vacation the Students, not 
 natives of Newfoundland, will be required to remain 
 in College, subject, of course, to College discipline. 
 During the summer vacation the Students will be 
 permitted, to leave the College, and may, with the 
 Principal's knowledge and sanction, journey together 
 into the country, or otherwise employ and amuse 
 themselves. 
 
 Every Student will be expected, if his services be 
 required by the Clergy, and with the Principal's 
 sanction, to teach in Sunday and other charity schools 
 (either in St. John's or the out-harbors), and in the 
 Collegiate School, in order that he may both be useful 
 immediately and make some return for the bounty by 
 which he is maintained and instructed, and that he 
 may be trained in a most important branch of clerical 
 duty. Everycme also may be called on to form part 
 of the choir in either of the churches, to read the 
 lessons on weekdays in St. Thomas's, and the Order 
 of Morning and Evening Prayer on Sundays or other 
 Holy Days in the out-harbors. 
 
 It m\is\j always be considered of great importance 
 to maintain the physical powers in a healthy and 
 vigorous state, and for this purpose study must be 
 succeeded and relieved by bodily exercise, "ut sit 
 mens sana in corpore Siino." 
 
 Each Student will be req\ilred, if provision Le so 
 made, to attend drill for twelve months. Other 
 exercise may be taken in tlie tield and garden, and 
 opportunities will be aftbrJotl of learning to row. 
 No objection will be made to fishing occasionally, 
 either in the ponds or in the sen, but shooting, with 
 all use of gunpowder, is strictly prohibited. 
 
 2. Frugality will be promoted by an allowance of 
 only siuiple but sufficient food, and by discounte- 
 
r 
 
 38 
 
 nancing all extravagance in dress or furniture. 
 Three meals will be provided daily. 
 
 The first and last meals in the day will be taken iii 
 the Hall of the College, and dinner in the Hall of 
 the Collegiate School. 
 
 The first meal will consist of bread and butter, with 
 coffee, the last meal of bread and butter, with tea, &c. ; 
 brewis,* meal and corn cakes occasionally. The 
 Students will, with the consent of the Principal, and 
 under his direction, make the tea and coffee, and 
 preside at the table by turns. The chief object of 
 this arrangement is to insti"uct the Students to be 
 helpful to others, and at the same time careful and 
 economical. 
 
 Connected with the subject of economy, it is right 
 to remind the Students to be moderate in the use of 
 coals and candles. Habits of extravagance in these 
 little things will be of very evil consequences in after 
 life. And, as all these things are furnished by 
 charity, a person of honourable feelings will be more 
 sparing and careful than if they were purchased by 
 and for himself, at his own cost and charge. 
 
 Dinner will consist on ordinary days of meat, with 
 vegetables and hard breadf ; puddings and tartn 
 occasionally. 
 
 To make observance of the days of fasting and 
 abstinence, as directed by our Church, they who 
 cannot wholly fast or forego a meal are advised, 
 though not required, to abstain from the use of milk, 
 sugar, or butter, any or ail, at breakfast and tea. 
 Fish only, with vegetables and rice, will be provided 
 on these days, at the usual hour of dinner. It will 
 
 * " Brewis " means ship's liisc'iit soaked in water and boiled. lu 
 Newfoundland it is often eatcu with codfish and fried pork, and is a 
 favourite dish. 
 
 t " Hard bread " is the same as ship's biscuit. When travelling in 
 winter, " soft bread " is useless, as it quickly becomes frozen. 
 
89 
 
 be wise to learn to forego the use of milk, because 
 not only at sea, but in many out-harbors, we cannot 
 procure it. For the same reasons the Students 
 should accustom themselves to hard bread and tlsh, 
 the only food to be obtained, at particular seasons, or, 
 it may be, the greater part of the year, in the enall 
 and remote settlements. 
 
 The breakfast will be usually at 8 o'clock, dinner 
 at 8 o'clock, and tea at 7 o'clock ; but the hours may 
 be changed at the discretion of the Principal. 
 
 The Students must not introduce any food or drink 
 into the College (whether for general or private use) 
 V n'iiout the Principal's knowledge and sanction. 
 Tobacco in every shape is prohibited. 
 
 A clean cloth for the breakfast table will be pro- 
 vided every week, with a napkin for the President ; 
 the necessary crockery also, with knives, &c. 
 
 Two or three candles will be furnished every night 
 in the Hall, and each Student will be allowed a candle 
 or lamp for his own use at bedtime, but he must not 
 take his candle or lamp into the Hall. He must be 
 very careful also in the use of his candle at bedtime, 
 and see that his candlestick or lamp be provided with 
 an extinguisher. 
 
 The services of the domestics will be chiefly 
 directed i;o ^he common and general wants of all the 
 Studeni,«, and must not be expected for mere private 
 and persoi): .! matters apart from the business of the 
 Institutioii No menial work will be require*' of any 
 Student, bi.'i it is Loped and expected that every 
 Student, having regard to his future calling and 
 manner of life, will be as helpful to himself and 
 others as possible, and not require the presence 
 and offices of servants when they can be properly 
 dispensed with. Some clergymen make their owti beds 
 and light their fires in the morning. Many persons 
 will ot allow servants to dust their bedroonjs, or 
 
iffP,i!ll.in. 
 
 40 
 
 even enter their libraries. Missionaries who have 
 learnt to wait upon themselves will find the benefit 
 in many ways, morally and physically, in their 
 worldljT^ and spiritual things. 
 
 Care must be taken of the furniture, and not 
 least of that which is provided by the Institution, 
 whether for common or separate use. 
 
 The following furniture will be provided, viz. : — 
 
 (1) All and everything nee 
 sitting-room, and (2) for and 
 articles, viz. : — 
 
 : srary for the hall cr 
 h bedroom these 
 
 1 Bedstead. 
 
 1 Mirror. 
 
 1 Set of Pegs. 
 
 1 Table. 
 
 1 Towel-horse. 
 
 1 Mattress. 
 
 
 1 Chest of Drawers. 
 
 1 Chair. 
 
 1 Set of Ware. 
 
 1 Washing-stand. 
 
 1 Set of Bookshelves. 
 
 ] Blind. 
 
 Each Student will be required to bring or provide 
 upon arlmission these art'-oles, viz. : — 
 
 1 Flock Bed or Mattress. 3 Blankets. 
 6 Towels. 3 Slips. 
 
 2 Rugs. 4 Sheets. 
 1 Pillow. 
 
 Feather beds are not allowed. 
 
 These articles must be submitted for inspection to 
 the Principal whenever he may desire it, UAd must be 
 repaired or renewed when necessary. 
 
 Each Student must provide for the washing of his 
 sheets and towels, together with his other linen ; the 
 sheets must be washed at least once in three weeks. 
 
 Any crockery or furniture belonging to the Insti- 
 tution which is broken or injured must be replaced 
 or repaired by the person who broke or injured it. 
 Any furniture considered by the Principal superfluous 
 and inappropriate must be removed. 
 
41 
 
 The bedrooms will be assigned by the Piincipal, 
 and may be changed at any time at his discretion. 
 They are, it is believed, neai'ly equal in comfort and 
 accommodation, but if aoy one thould appear less 
 desirable than the others it is hoped that the senior 
 Student will always be ready to be put, or put 
 himself " in the lowest " or tlie least convenient 
 
 " room." 
 
 The Students must be plain and neat in their 
 dress. No fancy waistcoats, or fantastic hats, or 
 novel neckcloths v/ill be allowed. Each Student 
 should be well provided with boots and shoes, both 
 for tlieir better preservation and that it may not be 
 necessary to clean at night those which have been 
 worn during the day. 
 
 All personal clothes are, of course, found at the 
 Student's own expense. 
 
 No Student will on any account be allowed to run 
 into debt. The washerwoman must be paid once a 
 month, and strict inquiry will be made into each 
 Student's accounts by the Principal, 
 
 In imitation of the colleges in England, each Student 
 will be required to make a deposit of caution-money 
 upon his first entrance. If under 20 yeais of age he 
 must deposit 20?., if above 20 years and under 21 he 
 must deposit 15?., if above 21 years lOi. This money 
 will be available (at the discretion of the Principal) 
 for the payment of any debts contracted to the 
 extent of 5l., but the sum so taken from the deposit 
 must be replaced by the Student. Whatever remains 
 of the deposit will be refunded to the Student at the 
 time of his Ordination, but if any Student !«hould 
 unhappily be dismissed, or should leave the Insti- 
 tution without the consent of the Visitor, he will 
 forfeit his deposit or caution-money. 
 
 3. Retirement is very necessary for the sake of 
 present study as well as in preparation for the 
 
42 
 
 miBsionary life. It is much to be desired, therefore, 
 that the Students form no acquaintance in the town, 
 and visits must not be paid or received contrary to the 
 Principal's injunction or expressed wishes. 
 
 No Studerit may be absent from any meal cr from 
 Prayers, moriiing or evening, or leave the College 
 after locking-up, without the Principal's consent 
 previously asked and obtained. 
 
 The locking-up will be a quarter of an hour after 
 gun-fire, that is a quarter past eight o'clock in winter, 
 and a quarter past nine in the summer. 
 
 The Students may not take any friends or 
 acquaintances upstairs. 
 
 It may be well to mention here that the hour of 
 rising will be six o'cloik in summer, and half past 
 six in winter. Prayers ai seven o'clock in summer, 
 and at half past seven in winter. Evening prayers 
 at a quarter past nine o'clock. 
 
 The interval between Prayers and breakfast may 
 be spent in the garden or field in the summer months 
 and fine weather, at other times in the gallery or 
 passage ; but no Student will be allowed to return to 
 his bedroom in that interval. And to promote a 
 kind consideration of each other's convenience and to 
 prepare for the distractions and interruptions which 
 must always, more or less, attend a missionary's life, 
 it is desired that the Students do not resort to their 
 bedrooms during the day, except it may be for one 
 hour before dinner, viz., from two to three o'clock. 
 
 On Sundays and other Holy Days the bedrooms 
 will be open immediately after Divine Service in the 
 morning. Books and other articles likely to be 
 required during the day must be brought down in 
 the morning. The bedrooms will be open after 
 evening praye^ . The Students must leave the Hall 
 at ten o'clock, when the servant will be required to 
 remove the candles and put out the fire. The candles 
 
48 
 
 in the bedrooms must all be extinguished at latest by 
 11 o'clock. 
 
 Students who have friends and relations in the 
 town may visit them occasionally with the Prin- 
 cipal's consent ; but it is hoped that sufficient society 
 and occupation will be found by each and every 
 Student within the walls of the College, in his fellow- 
 students, and his books. 
 
 No Student will be allowed to engage in tuition or 
 any other occupation for- pay or hire, or otherwise, 
 without the Principal's knowledge and consent. 
 
 4. Devotiou, the most important part of discipline 
 and of preparation for the Missionary life, is the 
 least capable of being enforced by rules and regu- 
 lations, and, therefore, there is the more occasion that 
 each Student should see to it that his religious d ities 
 and exercises hold the first place in his thoughts and 
 affections, and that he on no account neglect them. 
 These duties and exercises will require his attention 
 now, and probably through his whole life, in a three- 
 fold character and in three different ways, private, 
 domestic, and public. 
 
 For the private exercises of the closet there will be 
 half-an-hour every morning (allowing half-an-hour 
 to dress) ; the same quantity of time between two 
 and three o'clock, and again in the evening oefore 
 lying down. 
 
 The domestic will be conducted in the Hall every 
 morning and every evening ; the public in the Church 
 twice every day. These together will give David's 
 " seven times a day," and, if they be duly used and 
 improved, the comforts and blessings in and by them 
 will be great and manifold ; more and greater than the 
 tongue can tell or the mind conceive. Study and 
 frugality and retirement will be of little avail, or 
 profit, as to the Missionary calling, without devotion ; 
 
44 
 
 \U 
 
 M! 
 
 while on the other hand, most wise and true is that 
 pious apothegm — 
 
 " Bene orasse est bene studuisse." 
 
 As a help and guide in private devotion, Hele's " Offices 
 of Devotion," and Bishop Wilson's " Sacra Privata " 
 (both published by the Society for Promoting Christian 
 Knowledge), will be found very useful ; and there are 
 many other books on the Society's list of a similar 
 character. 
 
 Some rules for self-examination should be drawn 
 out by each Student, for which Hele's offices and the 
 Agenda in the " Golden Grove " should be carefully 
 studied, and of couise always the Book of Books, that 
 you may be able to say with David, " Thy Word have 
 " I hid within my heart that I might not sin against 
 " Thee ; " and again, '* Thy word is a light unto my feet 
 " and a lamp unto my path. I have sworn and am 
 " steadfastly purposed to keep Thy righteous judg- 
 " ments." Some practical commentary upon the New 
 Testament will be of great value. 
 
 The domestic exercises will be directed and con- 
 ducted by the Principal. 
 
 The public services of the Church are sufficiently 
 known, if they be but sufficiently valued. 
 
 Every Student will be required to attend twice a 
 day usually at St. Thomas' Church, but on the morn- 
 ing of Saints' Days and on the evening of Fridays at 
 the Central school, until the Cathedral Church is 
 opened, when some new regulation will be necessary. 
 
 It is earnestly hoped that each Student will be 
 ready with that preparation and self-examination 
 required by the Church and Holy Scripture to partake 
 of the Lord's Supper (once a month) for the strengthen- 
 ing and refreshing of his soul. To assist him in his 
 preparation, and to increase his knowledge and value 
 of that blessed Sacrament, the following books will bo 
 
46 
 
 found very useful: — (1) Bishop Wilson's Short and 
 Plain Instructions ; (2) Wilson's Duty of Frequenting 
 the Christian Sacrifice ; (3) Office for the Holy Com- 
 munion from Hele's Select offices of Devotion (pub- 
 lished separate) ; all of which and many more of a 
 like character are on the S.P.C.Ks'. list and may be 
 procured at the Depot. 
 
 The Students will ever find, it is trusted, in the 
 Principal of the Institution that " Discreet and learned 
 " Minister of God's Word " to whom, as our Prayer 
 Book directs, they who require further comfort or 
 counsel may go for the quieting of their conscience and 
 avoiding of all scruple and doubtfulness. 
 
 The breakfast or other meal taken before receiving 
 the Sacrament should be as sparing and simple as 
 possible. 
 
 With respect to alms and oblations, no person 
 need disquiet liimself that they are of necessity, if 
 of necessity, small and inconsiderable who remembers 
 the Apostolic assurance : " If there be first a willing 
 " mind it is accepted according to that a man hath, 
 " and not according to that he hath not" ; but they who 
 remember what a greater than St. Paul hath said, *• It 
 ** is more blessed to give than to receive," will desire 
 and endeavour, by retrenching every superfluous ex- 
 pense, or even, if need be, by carrying out the Apostolic 
 counsel, " 1 1 have to give to him that needeth " 
 (Eph. iv. 28). 
 
 These regulations and directions cannot be rescinded 
 or altered without the knowledge and concurrence of 
 the Visitor. The application or adaptation of them 
 to particular circumstances is entrusted to the 
 Principal, who is charged to see them carried out as 
 far as is proper and possible.

 The above regulations and directions, written wholly 
 in the Bishop's hand, were read out to the Students, 
 all present in the Hall of the College, on the 19th day 
 of January, in the year of Our Lord one thousand 
 eight hundred and fifty, by his Lordship's Commissarj'-, 
 in the presence of his Lordship, the Reverend the

 If it should appear to the Students or others that 
 some of tlie foregoing regulations and directions are 
 stringent and disagreeable, and that they might easily 
 be modified to make them more comfortable, let it be 
 remembered that it is one of the professed objects 
 of the Institution to train young men for a life of 
 hardship and trials ; and for this purpose it is expedient, 
 if not necessary, to have some causes of vexation and 
 inconvenience. 
 
 Nay, some advantages as well as comforts of each 
 Student may reasonably be sacrificed or diminished, 
 that each and all may learn that most difficult, but 
 for missionaries and clergymen most needful, lesson 
 " to please his neighbour for his good to edification " 
 (Rom. XV. 2) ; so an Apostle has taught us. And 
 again " Let no man seek his own but every man an- 
 
47 
 
 *' other's wealth " (1 Cor. x. 24) ; and again, " Look 
 " not every man on his own things, but every man 
 " also on the things of others " (Phil. ii. 4). More 
 solitude and retirement might be more favorable to 
 self-examination and self-improvement, but they are 
 not so well calculated to promote the exercise of charity 
 and forbearance, and though we may be permitted to 
 " covet earnestly the best gifts," yet there is, as 
 the same Apostle has assured us, and shown us, " a 
 " more excellent way " (1 Cor. xii. 31).

 In the same MS. book the following office drawn 
 up for the use of the College is also found : — 
 
 At a meeting of the Council, held in the College 
 on Saturday February 7th, 1850 (present : the Right 
 Reverend the Visitor, the Reverend the Commissary, 
 the Reverend the Principal of the Institution, the 
 Reverend the Master of the Collegiate School), an 
 order for domestic devotion was appointed as 
 follows : — 
 
 General Directions. 
 
 The Students shall attend at the time appointed, 
 each provided with a Bible and the Book of Common 
 Prayer, and (seats being placed upon the outer or 
 southern side of the Hall) shall stand in front of the 
 same until the Principal has taken his place. Then 
 all shall kneel, facing inward or to the main part of 
 the Hall, and secretly ask God to prevent tliem with 
 His Grace and accept and bless their Sacrifice of 
 Prayer and Praise. 
 
 All standing up, the Principal shall read two or 
 more sentences of Holy Scripture. Tf ^n let all 
 
48 
 
 devoutly kneel as before and give attention to the 
 Principal, saying two or more of the Prayers, at his 
 discretion. The Principal shall then say the Lord's 
 Prayer, the Students repeating after him every 
 Petition. 
 
 Then likewise shall be said — 
 
 Principal. — Lord, open Thou our lips. 
 
 Students. — And our mouth shall show forth 
 Thy Praise. 
 
 Principal. — O God, make speed to save us. 
 
 Students. — Lord, make haste to help us. 
 
 Here all shall stand up and say — 
 
 Principal. — Glory be to the Father, &c. 
 Students. — As it was in the beginning, &c. 
 
 Then shall be sung or said a Psalm or H}'mn 
 which the Principal, at his discretion, shall choose. 
 After the Psalm or Hymn the Apostles' Creed by the 
 Principal and Students, viz., " I believe," &c. ; then the 
 Students will sit, and the Principal shall call upon 
 one or more of them to read a passage or passages in 
 the Bible, upon which he will deliver a comment 
 with such remarks as may appear to him necessary 
 and suitable ; which ended he shall say (all kneeling 
 down) : — 
 
 Let us pray : 
 
 P. — Lord have mercy upon us. 
 S. — Christ have mercy upon us. 
 P. ib S. — Lord have mercy upon us. 
 P. & ^.— Our Father, &c. 
 
 Then shall follow Collect, Prayers, and Thanks- 
 givings, general and special, taken from the Liturgy 
 
49 
 
 and otiier authentic sources, and allowed by the 
 Visitor, to be concluded with the Benediction by 
 the Principal, standing, the rest kneeling. Soli Deo 
 Gloria. 
 
 Among the Prayers will be a Prayer for the 
 Society tor the Propagation of the Gospel, as Founders 
 and Benefactors of the Institution, for the Visitor 
 and Council, and for the Students. 
 
 Also when any of the Students is siuk or gone a 
 journey, or when any event occurs which particularly 
 concerns or affects the Institution or any connected 
 with it, notice will be taken of the circumstance in 
 Prayer or Praise, according to forms provided for 
 that purpos3.

 [The three Articles by the Rev, C. Knapp, con- 
 tained in this Chapter, throw so much light upon the 
 daily life of Queen's Colleg'^ and its prospects at the 
 close of 1897, that I trust he and the Editor of

 their being reprinted here without direct sanction.

 Perhaps it may interest soiue of your readers to 
 have a brief account of the daily life and work of 
 our little misMonary college at St. John's, Nowiound- 
 land. The story of its history and foundation is 
 told in the pages of the S.P.G. Digest, * so I shall not 
 conceni myself with that. 
 
 On the whole, one may describe our daily life as a 
 quiet community life. There is in Queen's College 
 the spirit of brothei'hood, perhaps stronger on account 
 of the smailness ot oar numbers. 
 
 Since I went out in 1894, we have gr£»,dually 
 increased until, during my last term, we had seven

 students, one more than we can properly 
 accommodate. 
 
 I have often been asked the question, " Is it not a 
 " mistake to have these small colleges ; would it not 
 " be better to send your men to the larger colleges or 
 " the univei sides ^ " Perhaps it would not be out of 
 place if I answer that question h^re. 
 
 Dii^ceses sucj as Newfoundland present many 
 peculiar difficulties and hardships, which are best 
 faced by the candidates for ordination before they 
 enter the ministry. Many of these are already 
 known to the Colonial, but they are all new to the 
 young Englishman who comes amongst us, and they 
 have to be learnt Our college affords just the 
 opportunity required, la Newfoundland, for instance, 
 the young Englishman has to learn to face real 
 hardship, bad food, and much travelling on foot, 
 besides le;irning that tho conditions of Church life are 
 not quite the same ps in some well-organised Englirfh 
 parishes. He is apt to think that because the people 
 amongst whom he will work aro of his own nationality, 
 therefore they are exactly like the folk at home ; 
 and not a few of the early mistakes in the ministerial 
 life are due to these preconceived ideas. A training 
 upon the Mission field itself corrects these before the 
 man enters Holy Orders ; he has had time to learn 
 and observe, time to face the difficulties by actual 
 experience, and time to test himself. Then, agMn, 
 time has shown that such a college as Queen's is the 
 best way of securing men, The list of clergy in the 
 island, past and present, shov/s this. Even now, after 
 the college has passed through a period of depression, 
 WB have 28 Queen's men out of 55. The college on 
 the Mission tield has, I think, a charm to the Eng- 
 lishman, perhaps greater than the home colleges. 
 But this is a long subject, and I am digressing.

 The centre of the college life is the little chapel, 
 which is Hituated in the east wing of the building, 
 almost over the library, Tlie chapel was opened 
 under the principalship of thi' llcv. Edwin Davies, 
 now of Lowmoor, Yorkshire, and was beautifully 
 decorated by one of the students. Here we meet 
 daily for Evensong and Compline (Mattins is always 
 said at St. Thomas's Church), and on Sundays and 
 Holy Days to receive the Communion of the Body 
 and Blood of the Lord. 
 
 On Saturday evenings we have a quiet preparation 
 for Holy Communion, with a brief address. The 
 ritual is simple and reverent. The altar of white 
 marble was sent from England in the days of Bishop 
 Feild, and stood for some time in St. Thomas's 
 Church. The Communion vessels and altar desk and 
 l)ook are all yifts fro)u friends in England since I 
 went out. Just recently we have placed a nice little 
 harmonium- -the gift of several kind friends in 
 St. John's — iu the cliapel, and one of the students 
 acts a.^ '* organist " ; and we are thus able to sing the 
 canticles and versiclos at Evensong. The little chapel 
 is very dear to us all, and especially tli9 quiet 
 celebration at 7 a.m. on Sundays. 
 
 The college day commences with Mattins at 8 a.m. 
 (during the penitential seasons we generally say 
 Prime in chapel at 7 a.m.), then there is breakfast 
 together at (S,3() — a plain, but substantial meal, when 
 tlie Englishmen make the acquaintance of the New- 
 foundland cod (the only inhabitant of the ocean 
 recognised as " fish "), and " hard-tack," and molasses 
 — but there, 1 nuist not explain, lest I frighten some 
 young fellow away. Lectures commence at 10 a.m. 
 and continue till 1 2.4.), the course of subjects beiog 
 that required for the examination for deacon's orders. 
 Every student, however, spends a year or so in ele- 
 mentary classics, and we have '/aried the course with 
 

ss 
 
 ^1 ^ 
 
 ■f. 
 
 ,-^4; 
 
 '-$, 
 
 
 some lectures upon literature kindly given by the 
 Rev. H. Dunfield. 
 
 The afternoons are spent in recreation ; in the 
 summer we have our garden to keep in order, and 
 " all hands " are frequently required for tliat ; then 
 we possess a capital tennis Jawn, ami our City Boat 
 Club kindly grant the students free use of their 
 boats on Quidi Vidi lake — our great ambition is to 
 have a four-oared boat. 
 
 In the winter tobogganing, a journey on snow 
 shoes, or skating is the chief amusement. 
 
 At 4.30 the students return to their studies, and 
 no one leaves the college without permission after 
 Evensong at 6 p.m. 
 
 Tea is at 6.30, and the evenings except Mondays 
 are spent in study. The day closes with Compline 
 at 10.20. 
 
 Our work on Sundays is varied, we ha\ e charge of 
 several Mission services, and help at the City Sunday 
 Schools, whilst one man visits the prison. 
 
 The two farthest settlements we have to reach 
 are seven or eight miles distant— Tor Bay and the 
 Goulds. 
 
 This entails a 14 or 16 miles walk, and two services 
 and sermons; in bright fine weather it is pleasant 
 and exhilarating ; but it is not always fine in New- 
 foundland ! It's the pegging away through drift and 
 snow, with the thermometer at zero, that tells. 
 
 This work is especially valuable, it is a real fore- 
 taste of the future. 
 
 The Student dines mid-day with the fisherfolk, 
 who take it in turns to entertain him ; our fisherfolk 
 at Goulds and Tor Bay thus make the acquaintance 
 of nearly every Missionary who goes out. 
 
 We pride ourselves on rarely being beatsn off the 
 road by storm or snow ; I don't think the men have 
 turned back half a dozen times in three years.

 I can recall one instance well; two of them set off 
 one Sunday in a blinding storm for Tor Bay ; the 
 snow was soft and deep, and in great drifts ; I was 
 not a little anxious about them, and was not sorry 
 when I saw two white figures, with icicles frozen to 
 their caps, beating back to college about an hour later. 
 They had managed the first mile and had then met 
 a drift, into which they plunged to their arm pits 
 and stuck fast. However, they were none the worse 
 for the experience, and after they were changed and 
 dry had a hearty laugh over it. But it is such work 
 as this which proves the man and makes the Mis- 
 sionary ; to the Englishman it is at first very trying, 
 and is a sure test of his earnestness. 
 
 Monday is our day of rest, and I think a well 
 earned one. In the evening the Principal is always 
 *' at home " in his study, which becomes for the time 
 a scene of great enjoyment and intercourse. Now 
 and again we have a musical evening. 
 
 " How I miss the Monday evenings ! I often think 
 of you all," said a former Student to me last autumn 
 when I was visiting him upon his far-away Mission. 
 Very often some city friend drops in, or a Missionary 
 is " in town for a rest," and there is the news of 
 the world to tell, and the tales of the Mission field 
 to be heard. 
 
 In the Long Summer Vacation the men go on to 
 the Mission field, and see for themselves the life they 
 are to face. At the present time there are six 
 Students thus at work — one in the far-away Missicm 
 of Strait of Belle Isle, one on the no less wild coast 
 of White Bay, one at Exploits, one at Random, one at 
 Heart's Content, and one at Feiryland. This is the 
 most valuable experience our men can have ; it is 
 indeed an appi'enticeship. 
 
 Before I finish I should like to say a word or two 
 about the matriculation standard. Three years ago 
 
57 
 
 we determined to adopt a permanent standard for 
 entrance, and to require of every man an elementary 
 knowledge of Latin and Greek. I have before me, 
 as I write, the subjects issued by the English Bishops 
 for the Central Examination for Students entering 
 our English Theological Colleges, and I find it differs 
 only from our own in requiiing rather more Greek 
 Testament, whilst we require not only Euclid but 
 Algebra. We were told at first that our number 
 would decrease if we adopted this standard, because 
 dioceses " up along " (as they call America) took men 
 on easier terms. This is true, and we have lost one 
 or two men thus, but our numbers have not decreased 
 but increased. 
 
 Such is the life and work of Queen's ; when I 
 found that circumstances would not permit me to 
 stay, it was with the deepest regret that I resigned ; 
 but from the day I left (the boat left the harbour 
 as one of my Students was being made deacon), I 
 felt that my work there would not really be done. 
 The ways of God are wonderful, and now He is 
 guiding me back again through the liberality of the 
 Society (which has granted us l,000i. from the 
 Mairiott Bequest) ; mj- house is to be built, and the 
 work of the College extended. 
 
 We hope soon to have not only more Students, but 
 a deacons' College also, a matter of extreme impf)rt- 
 ance to us, since at present our deacons are left alone 
 in charge of large and isolated Missions. We still 
 need 2,000/., and we believe that He who has guided 
 and blessed us tlius far will continue to do so.

 Vol. IX., Decemher 1S97. 
 
 The Mauuiott Bequest to S.P.G. 
 
 Since the DioceHe has now received such generous 
 aid towai'ds its Theological College from the above 
 bequest, it may le of interest to your readers to 
 know a little about the bequest and the way it has 
 so far been spent. 
 
 The bequest was left by Mr. Alfred Marriott, of 
 Idirfield, Yorkshire, and was part of a large sum 
 of money left for Church work at home and abroad. 
 Of the amount left to the Society for tiie Propa- 
 gation of the Gospel for missionary purposes or.'iy 
 71,000^. was available for distribution tliis year; 
 and for this there were 661 applications nsking for 
 680,040?. — -figures suggestive of the vast needs of the 
 mission field. The bequest is not w ithout conditions, 
 and missionaries seeking aid from it in the future 
 may care to know what they arc : No money is to 
 be spent on the living agent ; the whole amount 
 being equally divided between (l)"the erection of 
 " churches in foreign parts " ; and (2) " the establish- 
 " ment and endowment of hospitals and colleges, and 
 " other places of education also in foreign parts, or in 
 " tlie enlargement either in building additional wings 
 " or annexes or otherwise for improv^ement of any 
 " existing hospital in foreign parts." 
 
 No grant toward? endowment is to exceed I QOl. per 
 annum ; or towards buildings to exceeed 2,000i. No 
 part of the grant can be used for the purchase of land. 
 No grant can be made towards the payment of 
 existing debts on churches or institutions. The 
 bequest is not confined to the Society for the Pro- 
 pagation of the Gospel missions, although preference 
 is given to them, 
 
 i 
 
r>9 
 
 Thus ii will be seen that the conditions are such 
 that the bequest was practically only available, so far 
 as this Diocese is concerned, for building churches on 
 missions and the Theological College ; this should be 
 particularly noted, since an impression seems to have 
 got abroad, probably through ignorance of the terms 
 of the bequest, that the College had obtained a Inrge 
 grant at a time when the help would have been more 
 appreciated for other purposes. No grant could have 
 possibly been obtained for any of our institutions or 
 churches in debt, and unfortunately we possess several 
 such. 
 
 To turn now to the actual distribution of the 
 7l,000Z. — half was given to churches, and half to 
 colleges and hospitals, as follows : — 
 
 £ 
 
 North America - - - - 7,130 
 West Indies ... 4,505 
 
 Africa . - - . . 23,730 
 
 Asia .... 25,660 
 
 Australasia .... 8,975 
 
 Europe - - - . 1,000 
 
 
 £ 71,000 
 
 Of the 35,500?. for churches, Newfoundland 
 obtained 2501. — (being King's Cove, 501. ; Flat Island, 
 lOOl. ; Seal Rocks, 751 ; Newman's Cove, 25?.), a sum 
 which compares very favourably with amounts voted 
 for similar purposes in the Canadian Church, which 
 were as follows : — Algoma, 475/. ; Caledonia, 200?. ; 
 Columbia, 150?.; Fredericton, 140?.; New West- 
 minster, 320?, ; Nova Scotia, 30?. ; Qu'Appelle, 20?. ; 
 Quebec, 1,000?. ; Rupertsland, 500?. ; Saskatchewan 
 and Calgary, 95?. Thus only four dioceses obtained 
 larger grants than we did» 
 
 I 
 
60 
 
 Turning to the grants for colleges and hospitals, I 
 find that 16,080/. was given to educational buildings, 
 16,000/. to educational endowments, and 3,420/. to 
 hospitals. Of the colleges in British North America 
 besides our own (which received 500/. for building 
 and 500/. for endowment), Algoma received 250/. 
 towards a training for Indian girls at Sault Ste 
 Marie ; Fredericton, 500/. for the Davenport School, 
 St. John, New Westminster 200/. towarJs an indus- 
 trial school for Indians ; Runertsland, 50/. per annum 
 towards the further endowment of St. John's 
 College, Winnipeg.

 We cannot grudge that the bulk of the money 
 should have gone east and not west ; the greatest 
 need is east; we in the west are far better off

 Other port! js of the bequest will be distributed 
 during the next six years. It is indeed a noble gift ; 
 and whilst expressing our gratitude that we in

 we may so use God's blessings that they may be 
 fruitful to the advancement of iI^m Church in our 
 midst, 
 
 C. Knapp. 
 
 II r. — From the " Diocesan Magazine," 
 Newfoundland, Vol. IX., December 1897. 
 
 Reopening of Queen's College, October, 1897. 
 
 It is seldom that we find any event in our quiet 
 life at the College to chronicle ; but perhaps the 
 opening of the October term took place this year 
 under circumstances of exceptional interest. 
 
 My own return to the College, of course, made it 
 of especial interest to me, and perhaps one may be 
 pardoned to hope that by God's help it may be for 
 the benefit of the College also ; but there were other 
 changes. Four students have gone from the College 
 since f retunied to England in May, and two new 
 ones have arrived. Three of the former are in Orders : 
 Rev. E. G. Greenham, at present at Catalina ; Rev. C. 
 C. V. Cogan, at White Bay ; Rev. S. M. Stewart, at 
 Strait of Belle Isle ; to all these we extend our 
 fervent hope that God will use them for the further- 
 ance of the salvation of souls, and that they will 
 find in their vocation the full joy of serving Christ. 
 Nor are we unmindful of the fact that two are in 
 our hardest missions. White Bay and Strait of Belle 
 Isle ; let us hope that Queen's men will be ever 
 found to be foremost in the Church's work in New- 
 foundland. The fourth, F. Shears, is now at Oxford 
 studying for a year before taking Holy Orders. He 
 
1( 
 
 i 
 
 «d 
 
 writes aa though he thoroughly enjoy6d Oxford life 
 — (and who could help loving Alma Mater ?) May 
 he nlso come Lack with such a spirit as sent us 
 Bishop Ffild, to name our College " Queen'w," in 
 " testimony of my reverent and grateful esteem of 
 " Queen's College, Oxford," (as the Bishop himself 
 said). 
 
 But with the loss of old faces comes the gain of 
 new ones, and Mr. Booth from Warminster, and Mr. 
 Nichols from Dorchester, are already quite at home 
 with us; Wo welcome them with every prayer for 
 their future work. 
 
 But to pass to another side of the College life. 
 The presence of the builders at the west end of the 
 Colle^je witnesses lo a new departure. The grant of 
 1,000/. from the Marriott Bequest (500^. for building 
 and 500?. for endowment), has enabled the Bishop 
 to push forward the work of building a Principal's 
 residence ; and we trust that further alteration in the 
 future will give us a College worthy of the diocese. 
 Nor must we forget to express oui* thanks to the kind 
 friends in Kngland who have aLo helped forward 
 the work with their money. The Archbishop of 
 Canterbury gave us a donation ; also the Bishops of 
 St. Alban's and Truro. 'J'he total amount collected 
 at present is Jiearly 190?., but, of 'course, there are 
 expenses to be deducted from that. 
 
 When Bishop Feild issued his final statement of 
 the Endowment Fund, which he had first raised in 
 June 1871, he said " a very considerable amount is 
 " still required to make the College independent of 
 " extraneous aid." Since then the endowment fund 
 has indeed been slightly, but only slightly, increased, 
 and the College has often had great difficulty in 
 making two ends meet ; still there has not been for 
 many a year " any extraneous aid " to help it out. 
 We trust that at length that much-needed increase 
 
63 
 
 may be obtained, and all doubt concerning the 
 efficiency and usefulness of the College laid to rest. 
 
 We must not forget to mention that the Bishop 
 has also kinily given the legacy of 200^. left by 
 Miss Pomeroy Pomeroy to the College fund • and we 
 still have till 1,900 to claim the 250/. offered by 
 the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge on 
 condition that 1,750/. more were raised for endow- 
 ment. Would thiit some would emulate tl:e generosity 
 of the good bishop who raised the original endow- 
 ment, and tiive us a few SOO/.'s ! 
 
 Yet another piece of news of interest to Queen's 
 and I have done. The Bishop lias just conferred the 
 vacant Canonry on Rev. J. M. Noel, an old Queen's 
 man. We offer hira our very sincere congi-atulations. 
 Thus, out of six stalls, two are held by former 
 students of Queens, the Venerable Archdeacon and 
 Ciiiion Noel ; and one by a former Principal Rev, 
 Canon Pilot, D.l).

 APPENDIX. 
 
 The Gollegb Trust. 
 
 As briefly alluded to already, the question of the College Trust, and 
 its relation to the Diocesan Synod, has been the oubject of very con- 
 siderable debate since the death of Bishop Feild, and any sketch of the 
 College history would be incomplete without some reference to it. The 
 question must be still regarded as not satisfactorily settled, although, 
 perhaps, the legal phase of the matter being somewhat complicated, 
 it is better as it is. 
 
 The two documents in which Bishop Feild dealt with the Trust 
 iire : (i.) a Memorandum of Trust by Edward Lord Bishop of 
 Xewfoundland, executed in favour of the Society for the Propagation 
 of the Gospel on October 27, 1869 ; and (ii.) the Bishop's Will, bearing 
 date 28th September 1878. We give these in extenso. 
 
 I 
 
 Memokandum of Trust by Edward Lord Bishof of 
 Newfoundland. 
 
 To the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign 
 Parts. 
 
 The Fund established by me in the hands of the said Societj , and 
 called the St, John's, Newfoundland, Theological College Endowment 
 Fund, amounting to ;. together with any additions that may be 
 
 made to the same, is to be held on the following Trusts, viz. : — 
 
 The Society is to keep the same invested in Government Securities 
 of Great Britain, or may with the written consent of the Bishop 
 lawfully exercising episcopal functions in Newfoundland, in union 
 and communion with the Church of England for the time being, invest 
 the Fund or any part of it in any other Securities in Great Britain or 
 the Colonies of British North America, or British India, which from 
 time to time shall be sanctioned by the standing committee of the 
 said Society; and the annual income thereof shall be applied in 
 maintaining the Theological College in St. John's, Newfoundland, and 
 the oiBcers and exhibitioners therein, according to any scheme which 
 I, Edward, Bishop of Newfoundland, whilst Bishop of the See, may 
 establish and direct ; or if I shall omit to establish or direct any such 
 scheme, then, according to any scheme that the said Society (with the 
 written approval of the Bishop lawfully exercising episcopal functions 
 in Newfoundland as aforesaid) may from time to time esttiblish and 
 direct, and such annnal income shall in the meanwhile and until some 
 such scheme shall be established, be paid to the Bishop aforesaid to 
 be applied by him for the purpose aforesaid, in such manner as he 
 shall think best. 
 
91 
 
 Provided, that if at any time it shall be deemed advisable to trauHfcr 
 the said trust to Newfoundland, awi constitute a local trust, it shall 
 be lawful for the said Society (vfith the written approval of the 
 Bishop aforesaid) to constitute such trust and dispose of the said 
 trust fund accordingly, aad to make such provision respecting the 
 same and respecting the appoiutment of the trustees (of whom the 
 Bishop aforesaid shall always be one) and the powers of the trustees 
 in respect of investments and otherwise as may be deemed advisable, 
 yet so that the fund shall always be held for the same purposes, 
 and the income thereof be applicable in the same manner as is 
 herein-before expressed 
 
 Provided also, that if the funds shall prove insufficient to maintain 
 the Officers and Exhibitioners, together with the building of the said 
 College, it shall be lawful for the trustees (on the application of the 
 Bishop aforesaid) to apply the annual income to the maintenance of 
 exhibitioners, to be educated and trained for the Ministry of the 
 Church of England in Newfoundland at St. Augustine's College, 
 Canterbury, or at any College for the education and training of 
 missionaries in British North America, such Exhibitioners being 
 bound to serve as Missionaries or Ministers of the Church of England 
 in Newfoundland upon such conditions as the trustees may from time 
 to time appoint. 
 
 Provided also, that the sum of 8l. shall be expended yearly and 
 every year for a grant of books in reward of proficiency to some 
 one or more of the Students in accordance with the provisions of 
 a subscription for that purpose by the Keverend Henry Bailey, B.A., 
 the Warden of St. Augustine's Missionary College, Canterbury.

 of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-nine, at

 Extract from Bishop Feild's Will relating to thk 
 
 COLLEOB. 
 
 " I give and bequeath to the Diocesan Synod of Newfoundland

 case — 
 
 " 1. The site of the Theological College, with the buildings erected

 " 2. The land to the south of and adjoining the above-named

 " 18. Subject to my wife's (Sophia Feild's) life interest in the 
 Eame, the house commonly called or known as Avalon Cottage, with

 rents and profits of the same, but upon her decease, or sooner if she 
 pleases, in trust to employ the rents and profits of Avalou Cottage for 
 the support of the Theological College."

 A Select Committee of the Diocesan Synod was appointed in 1885 
 which reporte<l as follows : — 
 
 Report op the Select Committee of the Synod appointed 
 TO consider the Relations op the Synod with the 
 Theological College, &c. 
 
 The Select Committee appointed to consider and report to the 
 Synod upon the relations of the Synod with the Theological College, 
 and to make recommendations therefore beg to report as follows : — 
 The Theological College was founded on the 19th January 1850, by 
 the Charity of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, 
 and is partially endowed. The building and site were provided 
 and furnished by private bounty. The endowment referred to 
 consists of the sum of 7,5002. sterling, collected by the late Bishop 
 Feild, and left in trust to the Society for the Propagation of the 
 Gospel in Foreign Parts, to invest the same on good seciu-ities, and to 
 apply the interest thereof in maintaining the Theological College, 
 according to a scheme provided by the late Bishop Feild. 
 
 The income derived on this account, viz., 360/. currency, is by the 
 said Trust ordered to be paid to the Bishop of Newfoundland for the 
 time ueiug in supporting the said College. 
 
 The trust also provides for the appointment of local trustees at the 
 instance of the Society of the Propagation of the Gospel, with the 
 written consent of the Bishop for the time being, which Society has 
 power to determine the nature of the trust to be so appointed. 
 
 I 
 
93 
 
 If ever the funds are foand inadequate to maintain the College upon 
 its present basis, a second proviso of the said trust sets forth that the 
 income derivable from the endowment shall be applied in maintaining 
 Theological Students at St. Augustine's College, Canterbury, or at 
 any College for the education and training of candidates for the 
 Ministry of the Church of England in British North America. This 
 trust bears date 27th October 1869. 
 
 By the will of the late Bishop Feild, bearing date 28lh September 
 1875, the site of the Theological College, with the buildings thereon, 
 with land adjoining the said College, commonly called the " Brewery," 
 together with the property called " Avalon Cottage " (subject to the 
 life interest of Mrs. Feild, which has since been resigned to the Synod), 
 was left in trust to the Synod to apply the same in maintaining 
 Students to be educated for the Ministry of the Church of England in 
 Newfoundland. 
 
 Uf this property the land adjoining the College called the 
 " Brewery " was sold to the Newfoundland Bailway Company for 
 2,360^, which sum has been invested for the purpose of this Synod 
 trust. All the securities for the above trust, viz., the site of the 
 College and Avalon Cottage, and for invesnnents of the aforesaid 
 2,36oT. are now in the cU8t(Kly of the Treasurer of the Synod. The 
 net income from the Synod trust amounts to about 145/. 
 
 ' 
 
 Managrment of the College. 
 
 Under the terms of the trust referred to, now in the hands of the 
 Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, the College is managed bj' 
 a scheme furnished by the late Bishop Feild. This scheme sets forth 
 that the Lord Bishop of Newfoundland, or in his absence his Episcopal 
 Commissary, is Visitor, and with him rests the appointment of the 
 Principal and Vice-Principal of the College, and the making of all 
 rules for instruction and discipline. 
 
 The said Visitors or Bishop is assisted in the government of the 
 College by a Council, consisting of the rectors of the several parishes 
 in St. John's, and of such other persons as he may from time to time 
 appoint. 
 
 A copy of rules and regulations respecting Students is herewith 
 appended, together with the course of study prescribe 1 for ihem. All 
 Student-i, on admission, are required to sign a declaration that in 
 consideration of their education and maintenance, they will serve iu 
 the Diocese of Newfoundland for a period of seven years. 
 
 Hitherto, under the said scheme, the Visitor has appointed all the 
 officers of the College, and, aided by the Council, has had the sole 
 management of the College, and the expenditure of the incomes 
 derivable under the trusts aforenamed.

 Two years later we find the Bishop referring to it in his opening 
 Address to the Synod in June 1887. His Lordship says : — 
 
 " The relation which the College bears to the Synod is a subject 
 which has engaged the attention of the Executive Committee for the 
 last 12 months. C(>nsiderablc delay was caused by the difficulty in 
 obtaining decisive information from the Society for the Propagation of 
 the Gospel as to the existence or non-existence of a trust deed. It 
 appears that no trust deed exists which gives the Society any control 
 over the Endowment Fund, and the Society is prepared to hand over 
 the bonds as snon as a proper application is made for them. It would 
 seem that STich application should emanate from the executors of 
 Bishop FeikVs will, or at least under their authority. A so-called 
 memorandum of trust signed by Bishop Feild is in the hands of the 
 Society. It !S a lingular paper, the amount of the fund being left 
 blank, and the ' hand and seal' making the title of ' memorandum' a 
 misnomer. Opinions differ as to the value to be attached to this 
 document, and as a prominent member of the sub-committeo appointed 
 to deal with this matter, Mr. George Rendell (whose absence from 
 his accustomed place in the Synod through illness we mnst all regret), 
 is in England, the further considcratiou of the question has been 
 postponed. 
 
 " Meanwhile, an impression, it may be a mistaken one, has grown 
 upon my mind that the laity do not feel that interest in the Theological 
 College which might naturally be expected. When we consir ;r what 
 the efforts of the College are, that within its walls a large pr , portion 
 of our clergy are prepared for their future work, that upon the two or 
 three years' training which they there receive will depend in a great 
 measure their ministerial efficiency, how far reaching is any bias, 
 whether moral or theological which may be there imparted ; we must 
 admit that it is one of the most important institutions, and that it 
 should enjoy the confidence and enlist the sympathy of the whole 
 Church. If I am correct in my surmise, and if the lack of interest 
 proceeds from a feeling of dissatisfaction that the management of the 
 College property shculd be in the hands of a body which is not 
 responsible to the Synod, I am prepared to say that, while retaining 
 in my own hands the control of what relates to the course of study 
 and the maintenance of discipline, I should offer no obstacle to such a 
 reasonable modification of the existing arrangement as would tend to 
 place the College upon a more satisfactory tooting. It is, however, 
 necessary for me to remind the Synod that the question is not one 
 which cau be hastily settled, but that the solution will require much 
 thought and great care." 
 
 Action was taken by the Executive Committee of the Synod in 
 1889, and the Secretary, in a letter dated April I. '5, 1889, writes to 
 Mr. Tucker, the Secretary of the Society for the Propagation of the 
 Gospel, as follows : — 
 
 " I am, therefore, directed by the Executive Committee, of which 
 the Bishop is Chairman, to ask you if the Society for the Propagation 
 
&5 
 
 of the Gospel will transfer the bends to the Diocesan Synod, either 
 by transmitting them to the Treasurer, or by holding them in the 
 name of the Synod, subject to the order of the Executive Committee." 
 
 Mr. Tucker replied on May 24, expressing the Society's willingness 
 in the following terms :— " The Society will be willing to transfer the 
 " Tinist to the Diocesan Synod, pro'nded that a satisfactory investment 
 " can be arranged. If this is done, a draft deed should be sent to me 
 " for approval and execution, &c." 
 
 On November 19, 1889, Mr. Tucker wrote to the Bishop saying 
 that such draft had been forwarded by Mr. Bendell, the Secretary of 
 the Synod, but added, " our legal advisers have suggested a short 
 " form, of which I enclose a draft, and shall be glad to know whether 
 " it satisfies your Lordship and the Synodal Executive." 
 
 The result was that the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel 
 executed on March 5, 1890, a " Declaration of Trust," in which they 
 set aside the Memorandum of Trust of October 27, 18G9, and act 
 under Bishop Feild's Will. 
 
 The following is a copy of the Deed : — 
 
 Decxabation made by the Society for the Propagation of the 
 Gospel concerning a " Bequest " by the late Bight Rev. Edwaud 
 Feild, D.D., for the Theological College in Saint John's, 
 Newfoundland. 
 
 To all to whom these Presents shall corae : 
 
 Whereas the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign 
 Parts is the holder of seven thousand five hundred pounds four per 
 cent. Inscribed Stock of the Dominion of Canada, standing in the 
 name of the said Society. 
 
 And whereas the said Stock was bequeathed by the late Bight 
 Beverend Edward Feild, D.D., to the Diocesan Synod of Newfound- 
 land in trust, to apply the yearly interest thereupon to the support 
 of the Theological College in St. John's, Newfoundland. And 
 whereas it has been agreed that the said Society shall execute a 
 Declaration of Trust "i" *"!lo„s : — 
 
 Now these Presents witness that the said Stock and interest 
 thereupon are held by it in trust for the use and benefit of the said 
 College of Newfoundland, and to be administered by the said Synod 
 as legatee and owners thereof. 
 
 In witness whereof, the said Society hath this twenty-fifth day 
 of March, one thousand eight hundred and ninety, affixed its 
 corporate Seal hereunto.

 In the meantime the Synod of 1889 had passed an Act dealing with 
 the whole question, which still stands upon the Statute Book. It 
 is as follows : — 
 
 An Act relating to the Theological College. 
 
 iPassed 5th September 1889), 
 
 Whereas it is desirable to define the position of the Theological 
 College in relation to the Synod, and to provide for its maintenance 
 and management. 
 
 Be it therefore enacted by the Bishop, Clergy, and Lay Delegates 
 in Session assembled : — 
 
 I. — The Institution known as the Theological College shall be 
 continued as the Theological College of this Diocese. 
 
 II. — Until othenvise provided by Act of this Synod, the manage* 
 luent of the College shall be vested in the Bishop and a Council, to be 
 constituted and appointed as herein-after provided, except that the 
 appointment and removal of the Principal and other ofScers of the 
 College, and the making and execution of all rules for instruction 
 and discipline sh&U bo in the hands of the Bishop. 
 
 III. — The Council shall consist of five Clergymen, of whom the 
 Bishop's Commissary shall be ex officio one, and three Laymen, and 
 shall be nominated by the Bishop. 
 
 IV. — The property and funds of and pertaining to the College 
 shall be held by the Synod in trust for the use and purposes of the 
 College, and the annual income arising therefrom shall be paid over 
 by the Secretary of the Synod to the Bishop and Council from time 
 to time, as required, to be disbursed by them. 
 
 V. — A report on the condition and affairs of the College shall be 
 made by the Bishop and Council to each Biennial Session of the 
 Synod. 
 
 The Act met with vigorous opposition from the Members of the 
 College Council, especially the Venerable Archdeacon Botwood, 
 Rev. Dr. Pilot, the Secretary to the Council, and the Kev. J. J. 
 Curling. The controversy was continued in the Synod of 1890, and 
 in 1891 a long correspondence took place between Dr. Pilot, on behalf 
 of the College Council, and the Kev. II. W. Tucker, the Secretary of 
 
97 
 
 the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel. The following letters, 
 written in the early part of 1892, are of value :—

 (Copy.) Society for the Propagation of the Gospel 
 
 in Foreign Parts, 19, Delahay Street, 
 Mt Dear Db. Pilot. Westminster, February 5, 1892. 
 
 The Standing Committee have obtained a legal opinion on the 
 points raised in your letter of November 13th, 1891, which is in the 
 following terms :— 
 
 ♦' In March 1890 the Society was advised (and I believe rightly so) 
 to recognise the absolute title of the Synod, and to pay the dividends 
 of the Trust Fund to the Synod, and was also prepared to transfer the 
 Trust Fund to the Synod. 
 
 '' Under these circumstances ii is for the local tribunals to bring 
 the Synod to account, should it (which ought not to be anticipated) 
 abuse its powers or neglect its duties as Trustee. 
 
 *• The Society has no power or authority over the Trust Fund after 
 the Deed of 1890." 
 
 I read this opinion to Mr. Curling a few days ago, when he called 
 upon me. 
 
 Yours very faithfully,

 (Copy.) 
 
 St. John's, Newfoundland, 
 Mt Dear Mb. Tucker, March 12, 1892. 
 
 I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 
 5th February, containing " legal opinion " upon some of the poirts 
 referred to in my last letter to you respecting the Trust Deed of the 
 Theological College of the Diocese. 
 
 Mr. Horwood, counsel for Mr. Curling in this matter, has perused 
 it, and still urges that the main points in question have not been 
 answered at all by this legal opinion. 
 
 (1.) He disputes the right of the Society for the Propagation of the 
 Gospel to part with its share of the Trust without the written consent 
 of the Bishop. 
 
 (2.) He insists that the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel 
 could not divest itself of the responsibility of framing with the Bishop 
 a scheme for the management of the College (i.e., assuming that no 
 scheme existed), and thereby of perpetuating the intention of Bishop 
 Feild, the Founder of the Trust. Discretionary power given by 
 Bishop Feild's Trust Deed in the matter of establishing a scheme was 
 never transferable, whatever may be said in refeience to the transfer 
 of the fund itself. 
 
 (3.) He adds, the Bishop, quoad Bishop, has been deprived of his 
 College, the Society, according to your letter of February 5th, having 
 
 G 
 
98 
 
 I 
 
 i 
 
 recognised the absolute title of the Synod presumably to the fund 
 (though this is not stated in your letter). 
 
 As to the transfer of the fund itself tu local trustc-S, the Deed 
 required the consent of the Bishop to enable the Society for the 
 Propagation of the Gospel to create such. The Bishop said : " I have 
 " not given a written approval to the Society for the Propagation of 
 " the Gospel to create a local trust." 
 
 The Deed made the Bishop and the Society for the Propagation of 
 the Gospel co-trustees for the management of the Trust Fund. The 
 Bishop says : " I am not a co-trustee with the Synod for the College 
 Fund." 
 
 Where, then, is the Bishop in this matter now ? Deprived of his 
 position as co-trustee. Bishop Fcild's purpose in regard to a scheme 
 frustrated, he has now to get power to manage his own College, to 
 ask permission of the Synod, the pei-sonnel of which is constantly 
 changing, and which 1 may observe is not competent to lay 
 down a scheme for the management of a College for the education 
 and training of the Clergy of the Diocese. 
 
 This is plainly the case, as others besides myself view this matter. 
 
 The Society has entirely ignored the Trust Deed. I have since my 
 last referred to the conveyance executed to the Synod and find no 
 mention whatever is made of the Society having held the fund under 
 a Trust Deed. On the contrary, it is stated to have been held under 
 & hequest in the will of Bishop Feild. But the executors of Bishop 
 Feild's will took an entirely different view of the matter, and Bishop 
 Kelly, one of the executors, writing from Inverness, 2nd December 
 18S7, says : "I have no wish, and as it appears to me no power, to 
 " interfere in any arrangement which you and the Synod may w ish 
 " to make with the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, as 
 " Trustees of the Theological College Endowment Fund. Having 
 << created a Trust, consisting of the Bishop (and I presume this means 
 " the Bishop for the time being) aud the Society for the Propagation 
 " of the Gospel, to whom the fund was handed over, it appears to me 
 " that Bishop Feild had put it out of his power to deal with these 
 " funds by will." The other executor, Mr. Hayward, Q.C., concurred 
 in this view taken by Bishop Kelly, and tliey refused to execute any 
 conveyance of those funds to the Synod, or to recognise the funds, as 
 in any way part of Bishop Feild's estate. 
 
 Here lies our whole contention. 
 
 I ought, perhaps, to offer some apology for troubling you so much 
 in this matter. It is that I am concerned only for the good of the 
 Theological College, and feel that a responsibility rests upon me, and 
 others who think with me in this matter, of maintaining that form of 
 sound teaching and discipline that Bishop Feild maintained, and of 
 endeavouring to prevent even the possibility of the work of the 
 Society for the Propagation of the Gospel from being undone.

 Ths Standing Committee having read your letter of March 12, 
 bid me inform you that, having acted bond fide, and under legal 
 advice, and, aR they believe, in strict accord with the terms of Bishop 
 Feild's fi\\\, they are not prepared to reopen the qi:e&tion of the 
 transfer of St. John's College to the Diocesan Synod. 
 
 I saw Mr. Horwood, but at a very busy moment ; I believe, 
 however, that he understands the Society's position. 
 The Bev. Dr. Pilot. Yours faithfully,

 Letter of Mr. William H. Horwood to Bev, J. J. Ccrlino 
 
 St. John's, Newfoundland, 
 Dear Sir, April 7, 1892. 
 
 I HAVE, as instructed by you, made careful inquiries into the 
 matter of the Theological College Endowment Fund with the following 
 result : — I find that the Fund, amounting to upwards of , equal 
 
 to , now standing in the name of the Society for the 
 
 Propagation of the Gospel, is held by the Society »8 Trustee under 
 a memorandum of Tnut from the late Bishop Feild, of date the 
 27th of October A.D. 1869, opon the following Trusts : — 
 
 (1.) To invest the principal in approved securities, and to apply 
 the annual income thereof in maintaining the Theological College 
 in St. John's, Newfoundland, and the officers and Exhibitioners 
 therein according to any Scheme which Bishop Feild, whilst 
 Bishop of Newfoundland, may establish, or upon his failure to 
 establish such Scheme, then according to any Scheme that the 
 said Society (with the written approval of the Bishop lawfully 
 exercising episcopal functions in Newfoundland) may from time 
 to time establish. 
 (2.) In the meanwhile, and until the establishment of puch Scheme, 
 to pay the annual income arising from the investment to the 
 Bishop of the See, to be applied by him for the pur|)ose of 
 maintaining the Theological College in St. John's, Newfoundland. 
 
 The deed also contains a provision that if at any time it shall bn 
 deemed advisable to transfer the said Trust to Newfoundland, and 
 constitute a local trubt, it shall be lawful for the said Society (with 
 the written approval of the Bishop aforesaid) to constitute such 
 
*-f

 I 
 
 Trust, nud dispose of the said Trust Fuud accordingly, and to make 
 provision respecting the same, and respecting the appointment of 
 Trustees (of whom the Bishop aforesaid shall always be one) pro- 
 vided that the Fund shall always be held for the same purposes, and 
 the income thereof be applicable in the same manner as is above 
 expressed. 
 
 It appears that Bishop Feild whilst Bishop of the See did not 
 establish any Scheme in accordance with the terms of the said deed. 
 It if true that he made a will purporting to deal with this Fund, but 
 the provisions contained in this will relating to the Trust Fund were 
 not carried out by his executors (Bishop Kelly and Mr. Hayward, 
 Q.C.) on the ground that Bishop Feild having created the aforesaid 
 Trust had put it out of his power to deal with these funds by will. 
 I may say that I am clearly of opinion that the executors were correct 
 in the course they took, and that Bishop Feild's will was powerless to 
 vary the terms of the Trust Deed. 
 
 By a deed bearing date the 25th day of March, 1890, the Society 
 for the Propagation of the Gospel purported to convey to the Diocesan 
 Synod the Fund held by them under the Trust Deed. Now, whether 
 the deed from the Society for the Propagation of the Gusp'-:! to the 
 Synod be regarded as a " scheme," such as is conter ]/lated by the 
 Trust Deed, or as a local trust, or whether it be regnrded as both a 
 scheme and a local trust, it must in any case have the written approval 
 of the Bishop in order to give it validity. As I am instructed, the 
 Bishop has not approved in writing of the Deed, and it is quite clear 
 that until the written approval of the Bishop be given this Deed is of 
 no effect. It will be also observed that to form a local Trust the 
 Trust Deed provides that the Bishop shall be made a co-trustee. The 
 deed from the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel to the Synod 
 does n'^t appear to have complied with the requirements of the original 
 Trust Deed in these respects. 
 
 I am, therefore, of opinion that the Society for the Propagation of 
 the Gospel continues as the trustee of this Fund, holding it pursuant 
 to the terms of the original Memorandum of Trust from Bishop Feild, 
 and the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel may now, with the 
 concurrence ot the Bishop, establish such a scheme ns the Trust Deed 
 refers to. If such a scheme were established the Society for the 
 Propagation of the Gospel could, in addition, with the Bishop 
 approval, convey the Trust to Newfoundland, thereby creating a local 
 trust, and appoint the Bishop and the Synod co trustees to hold the 
 Fund in accordance with the scheme as established. 
 
 Whether a scheme be established or not it seems highly advisable 
 that any conveyance by way of local trus* from the Society for the 
 Propagation of the Gospel to the Synod and Bishop should fully declare 
 the Trusts upon which the Fund is to be held. The desirability of 
 the Trust being clearly defined in this way is so obvious that it is 
 unnecessary for me to say anything further upon it. 
 
 Yours faithfully, 
 (Signed) Williau H. Hobwood.

 It is to this that Mr. Tucker refers in his last letter. Here the 
 
 "whatever *be* the true legal rights of the question at issue, two 
 salient points are very clear; firstly, that the funds, by whomsoever 
 held, were raised for the training of Student, m the Theologica 
 Colleire at St. John's for the work of the Diocese 5 secondly, that 
 such College is to continue eve/ to be under the sole authority and 
 management of the Bishop of the Diocese ; every document which 
 deals with the College management, and almost every letter in which 
 Bishop Feild mentioned the College plainly states this; audit would 
 seem to be clearly outside the power of the Diocesan Synod to 
 interfere with the management of the College, and m as far as the 
 present Act does this it breaks the spirit, if not also the letter, of 
 Bishop Feild's arrangement.
