 Three cliffcrciit sites will henceforth in.irk the sta^'es in the Ljrowth of 
 Catholicity fr(jm the foundation of St. Cohiinban's I'arish. Three different 
 churches have been crcctetl to satisfy the fervnnn- as well as the ever- 
 increasing wan's of the faithful. To-day, for the third time, the Church 
 blesses that growth and dedicates to the service of God the offering of 
 her devoted children. A record indeed well worth reviewing, and what 
 more fitting occasion than the present? The first priest of whose presence 
 in Cornwall any trace is left, was one whose name was closely allied with 
 the early advancement of the Church in Upper Canada— the Reverend 
 Alexander Macdoncll. lie was known by his people and is still 
 referred to as Mr. Scotus Macdonell— by which title he intendeil to per- 
 petuate the particular branch of the Macdonells to which he belonged — 
 and during the years of his ministration in this Kastern portion of the 
 Province he from time to time visited Cornwall. One of these visits is 
 recorded in a little brochure of " Reminiscences of the lion, and Rt. Rev. 
 Alexander Macdoncll, first Bishop of Kingston." Therein the writer, Mr. 
 W. J. Macdoncll, of Toronto, tells us that he has in his possession a small 
 duo decimo volume in two parts, and inside the cover of one of them is the 
 following : "The property of William J. Macdonell" (the father of William 
 J. already mentioned) "given to him by the Rev. Mr. Alexander Macdonell 
 in Cornwall, on the thirty-first day of August, one thousand seven hundred 
 and ninety-four." Mr. Scotus Macdoncll was a familiar figure in these 
 t]uartcrs until failing health forced him to lay down his charge, lie was 
 taken with his last illness at his home in St. Raphaels, in Glengarry, whence 
 he was carried by his people to Lancaster, and from there he was taken 
 by boat to Montreal, and in the Seminary of St Sulpico he ended his days 
 in 1803. 
 
 There was little, however, of system or regularity in the ministrations 
 to the Catholics at this time and for a few years following ; an occasional 
 station, as it was called, in a private house or a call to the bedside of a 
 dying Catholic were the only reasons that brought the priest to Cornwall. 
 Small as it was, there are mentioned in connection with such service a 
 , number of priests, among whom were I^'ather John Macdonald and Father 
 Fraser, and the Fathers O'Meara— two brothers. Beyond the fact of their 
 visit from time to time nothing, however, is known. 
 
 The year 1829 marks the beginning of a new era. The need of a 
 church had long been felt, and at this time steps were taken towards the 
 building of the parent Church of Cornwall. It stood just outside of the 
 present old St.Columban's, running East and West parallel to Fourth Street. 
 
\ 
 
 The front (looi of the fii^l chiinh was but ;i few feet from the plaiilx walk 
 that now leads into the old chinch from tlie street. 'I"he little church lias 
 loiiLf since disappeared, hut tlie vacant site marks the first step in that 
 gradual development which to-dav reaches its climax. It was a modest 
 structure, onl)' fort)- P'ct lon^, hut still adecpiate to the wants of die time. 
 Subsc(iucntly it became associ.ited with the name of Hishop Macdoncll in 
 a manner that makes the little rou^h-cast building' aItoi.,fcther historic. On 
 the cvc of his departure for ICn;^land in \^V) lli^ Lordship visited Cornwall, 
 his stay cxtendinif over Sunday ; and here he addressed his people, takiiiLj 
 as the text of his sermon, " Render unto ("a-sar the thin;.is thai are C;esar's 
 and unto God the thintfs that are Gcxl's." It was his last instruction to the 
 people for whom he had sacrificed his energies and in whose mtercsts he 
 was about to undertake a perilous journev lie set sail soon after, landiuLj 
 in Liverpool in Auj^ust of the same year. Important relations with the 
 Colonial Office and a tedious sojourn throuL^h the British Isles in the 
 interests of emigration, were too Ljreat a ta.x upon his already wasted 
 strcnj^th, and he reached Dumfries wearied and suffering from a severe 
 cold. Soon after came the sad intelligence of his death on the 14th of 
 January, 1840 
 
 The first resident priest of Cornwall was leather Hcnnctt, who took up 
 his abode here in 1834. I'^ather Bennett is spoken of as a most zealous 
 pastor, and was at the time especially beloved by hi.'^ people on account of 
 his kind disposition and various works of charity. In these earl)' days 
 there were not lacking occasions for the practice of charity. L^ither Bennett's 
 congregation was by no means large, and of the goods of this world they 
 had far less than an abundance. Nevertheless, even then, the Church had 
 its benefactors; there were families and individuals who well deserve recog- 
 nition for their meritorious work in aid of the struggling Church ; for their 
 own fidelity to the faith, and the conserpicnt good results of their noble 
 example among their neighbors and fellow-Catholics of that day. Among 
 these, as wc learn from the parochial register, were Mr. Joseph Macdonald 
 and Mr. Rodricjue, "who, with some pious ladies, bestirred themselves very 
 commcndably to obtain the rct|uirements of the altar and sanctuary." In 
 this connection, mention must also be made of the l^'lanigan family, to 
 whom the Church and the Clergy were indebted for constant, faithful and 
 generous support. Ex-Sheriff Macdonell and his estimable lady, according 
 to the same record, deserve our grateful remembrance for their devoted 
 attachment to the Church and Clergy. Ikit, in such primitive conditions, 
 wc can readily understand that the embarrassments of the little congregation 
 might be even more serious still. And such, in fact, was the case. So 
 serious, indeed, were their difficulties, that the work on the little church 
 was interrupted, and its continuation, for a time, remained uncertain. In 
 such an emergency there was needed that generous support which springs 
 alone from strength of faith and loyal attachment to Church. Such support 
 a kind Providence willed should not be wanting, nor will there be lacking 
 to-day a feeling of gratitude to those who averted the first and only financial

 crisis of the Parish. Foremost amon^ these was Mr. John Loncy, father of 
 Mrs. John E. Lotiey and of Mrs. Duncan Monroe. Father Bennett was 
 succeedetl, in 1S41, by the Rev. Alexander Macdonald, a native of Frince 
 Edward Island. Father Macdonald hail cnjoj-ed the favor of the first Hishop 
 of Kingston, by whom he was sent to Rome to pursue his theological 
 studies. He did not remain long in Cornwall, however. Within the year 
 of his appointment his health failed and he was obliged to resign the pastoral 
 charge. On the retirement from active work of h'ather Alexander Mac- 
 donald, Father /F2ncas Macdonald took charge, but, as in the case of his 
 predecessor, his stay was a short one. The sole; incident which more than 
 any other, perhajjs, recalls his stay, was the introduction of music into the 
 church service. In this, as in great things generally, its beginning was 
 humble — the accordeon being the first instrument used in the Cornwall 
 Church. Following h'ather /I'jieas Macdonald came P^ither John Cannon, in 
 the year 1843, and here he remained, with the exception of one year — during 
 which Father .luieas replaced him — until the time of his death, in 1 85 5. 
 Of Father Cannon, there are still with us not a few who have the tenderest 
 recollections. Me was gentleness itself, but above all he was a man of 
 duty. The little white hou.se is still standing, a little to the west of the 
 Stormont Mill, where Father Cannon was called on his last sick-call. He 
 had already been taken down with what proved his last illness and was in 
 no condition to leave his room, nevertheless he insisted on being brought 
 out in answer to the sick-call. Arrived at the house, he rested for a time 
 in the front room, that served as a parlor. Then, with the remark " I think 
 I am better now than a half-dozen dead men," he asked to be brought to 
 the sick person, to whom he gave the last rites of the Church and the 
 word of comfort that was ever ready on his lips. He was carried out 
 of the house exhausted from the reaction, to be driven home, but first he 
 asked to be taken down through the cholera-stricken district. "IJrive 
 around by the luist iMid," said he, " that I may see my poor people once 
 more. Heaven knows, it may be the last time !" F^om place to place he 
 was driven, and more than one home was made brighter, and many a flood 
 of tears was held back, by his cheering words and generous alms. Within 
 a fortnight Feather Cannon received his own summons and went to claim 
 the reward laid up tor him, regretted, even mourned, by all, but by none, 
 perhaps, more than by the poor mothers and widows to whom sore sorrow 
 had come during the time of the dreadful fever. " We never saw anything, 
 at that time, like his funeral," said one of the pall-bearers who still survives. 
 " In the front pew sat three clergymen from the other Churches." No need 
 to inquire further ; the sudden rush of tears when the sad ceremony was 
 recalled, even after forty-one years, spoke plainer than words of the love 
 that existed between Father Cannon and his people. His remains were 
 interred beneath the old frame church, whence they were removed, in 1864, 
 to the present old church, where they still rest. One after another came 
 F^ither Gallagher, Father Walsh and Father O'Connor. The latter — now 
 Dean O'Connor, of Chestcrville — c^mg to Cornw^H in 1856. Wg arc able

 U) offer, throiiLjh the kiiulness of tlic Dcaii, his own iccollccticjnscjf the 
 years of his pastorate. These will be RhiikI on another pa^^^e. Not to lose 
 the thread of the narrative, liowever, it may here be recalled that l''ather 
 O'Connor's time marks the second stej) in the material <;ro\vth of the 
 Church. Under his c^nitiance was undertaken and pushed energetically 
 forward the work of buildiiiLJ the ])rescnt brick structure, in which, until 
 very recently, the entire Catholic population of Cf)rnwall had assembled for 
 worship since 1864. Nor is this the only e\idence that rcci^rds the years o*" 
 useful labor Father O'Connor spent in Cornwall. The brick chapel at Dickin- 
 son's Landing, which with the recent addition of a tower and spire, n(nv 
 puts on the appearance of a Parish Church, was built during his time and 
 under his direction. In the absence of regular attention, beyond the reach 
 of which they were for a long time placed, there is no estimating the worth 
 of this little cha|jel as a factor in keeping up the faith among the 
 Catholics of this district. Scarcely less serviceable towards this same end 
 was the powerful example of the lives of some of the first .settlers at the 
 Landing. One of the first on the scene, and ever after the very foremost 
 in support of all that worked for the good of the Church, was Mr. Wm. 
 McQuillan. Unflinching in his fidelit)' to the teaching of his Church, and 
 fearless in the practice of his belief, Mr. McQuillan has always been, and let 
 us hope may long continue to be, an edifying instance of what the life of 
 a good Catholic and a good citizen should be. Another whose life has 
 always been characterized by his faithful adherence to i)rinci})le, and 
 consistent, generous support of Church and Clcrg)', is Mr. I'atrick Cass. 
 The Ryans and the C'larkes were also among the first settlers. Whereas 
 the Catholics of the Landing have now every feature of parish organization 
 except the name, circumstances did not permit, until recently, of more than 
 one visit from the pastor at intervals of five or si.x weeks. During the fall 
 of last year, under the direction of Rev. O. B. Devlin, S. J., the first mis- 
 sion ever conducted in that section of the I'arish was one of the spiritual 
 advantages extended to the Landing Catholics. 
 
 After the departure from Canada, already referred to, of His Lordship 
 the Right Reverend Alexander Macdonell, the first Bishop of Kingston, 
 the first Episcopal visitation of which there is any record, was that of the 
 Right Reverend Patrick I'helan, Bishop of Carrhoe, and Coadjutor to 
 Bishop Gaulin, and Administrator of the Diocese of Kitigston. Bishop 
 Phelan visited Cornwall for the first time on the third of Sej)tcmbcr, 1848, 
 during the incumbency of Rev. leather Camion, and adnnnistered the 
 Saci ament of Confirmation to upwards of one hundred and sixty persons. 
 It is interesting, as an indication of the rapid spread of Catholic teaching, 
 to note that Bishop Phelan visited Cornwall, between the years forty- 
 eight and fifty-six, no less than five different times, on each occasion 
 adnn'nistering the sacred rite of Confirmation to large numbers of the 
 faithful. At the time of his last visit. Father Walsh was temporarily in 
 charge of the Parish. In the year 1862, the occupant of the See of 
 Kingston was the Right Reverend E. J. Horan. liishop Horan visited

 Cornwall in September of that year, and in the h'ttle Frame Church cori- 
 firmed upwards of one hundred and fifty persons. A few days later he 
 visited the Landing and there administered the Sacrament of Confirma- 
 tion to fifty-lhrce persons. Agai-i in September of the year 1S65, Bishop 
 Horan officially visited St. Columban's Parish. In the autumn of the 
 following year, Father O'Connor s fiekl of labor was changed. Me had been 
 here since 1856, and in the year 1866 he was l..insferred to the parish of 
 Alexandria, his successor in St. Columban's being Reverend leather Lynch. 
 Father Lj'nch's first attention was given to the task of completing the 
 interior of tlu; brick church, which, as a result of his efforts, was placed 
 in practically the condition in which we see it to-day. Father Lynch 
 continued in charge of St. C(jlumban's Parish until January, 1871, when he 
 was srxeeded by Reverend Father Charles Murray. The arrival of Father 
 Murray belongs to " our own times," so to speak. Though already within 
 the recollection of his former people, it must, however, be stated that 
 during the term of his charge, which continued until the year 1889, 
 important ailditions were made to the e(|uipment of the Church— chief 
 among which are the organ and the altar. Added tc; this was the sup- 
 plying of a long-felt want, by the opening of St. Columban's new Cemetery. 
 On the withdrawal from Cornwall of Father Murray, he was succeeded 
 temporarily by the Rev. D. C. McRae, now I'astor of (ilennevis, whose stay 
 extended over a period of eleven months or thereabouts, when the present 
 pastor was permanently appointed to the charge. In consequence of his 
 largely augmented labors, occasioned by the building scMine five years ago 
 of the Mille Roches Chapel and ailditional attendance ;.t Dickinson's 
 Landing, Father Corbett was obliged to ask for an assistant, and for the 
 two following years h'ather R. A. McDonald, now of Greenfie'd, filled the 
 duties of that office. Some two years ago he was succeeded by the 
 present assistant. Father Campbell. 
 
 From its foundation in the year 1834, down through the eaily years 
 of trial for the struggling congregation, St. Columban's Parish belonged to 
 the ecclesiastical division of the Diocese of Kingston. It remained so 
 attached until six years ago, when, in conformity with his wishes, the Holy 
 Father relieved the Most Reverend Archbish(j[) of Kingston of a share of 
 his labors, and erected the luistern portion of the former Diocese of King- 
 ston into a new Diocese, with Alexandria as the See, and the present Bishop, 
 the Right Reverend Alexander Macdonell, as its first occupant. His Lord- 
 ship naturally lias the deepest interest in Diocesan affairs of whatsoever 
 form — the members of St. Columban's congregation, during the building of 
 their new Church, have drawn heavily upon his attention and benefitted not 
 less by his encouraging support, for both of which they pray that they may 
 never cease to be thankful. J 
 
^cI]ooIs ar)d AcI]ooI (jiildren. 
 
 The history of the last twenty-five years in St. Columban's Parish is 
 briefly written. Its characteristic feature is a lively interest in the children ; 
 its leading event, the biiildint; and equipment of the schools and its lesson, 
 the \ital importance of the Christian education of the youn<^. The child 
 of to-day is the man of to-morrow ; the youth of the present arc the trustees 
 of the future. Upon them society will later on rest as upon its foundation, 
 and if education is Christian, society will be Christian ; if education is 
 anti-Christian or secular, society will likewise be anti-Christian or secular. 
 It is for this reason that the interests of the "little ones" of Christ's King- 
 dom are always so dear to the pastor of souls ; no wonder that the first 
 Shei)herd of the flock should write : — 
 
 Was it not rclii^ioiis insductinn that renewed the face of the earth, that sanctilied and 
 civilized tiie niiitual relations between men, tiiat f;ave its delicacy to liie moral sense, that formed the 
 Christian conscience, that checks excesses by moral means, that rebukes injustice and elevates 
 Christian over non-Christian nations? The safety and prosperity of nations have no iirotection 
 outhide of truth and justice, the need of which the present aj^e so keenly feels, and the sncred rij^hls 
 of which the Cinistian doctrine fully vini''cates. Therefore, for the sake of the precious fruits, 
 which have been already reaped and whicli in the future are justly to be hoped from such instruc- 
 tion, far from banishing; it from the schools, it should, on the contrary, be [ironioted to the utmost 
 of our ability. 
 
 The nature of the child and the peculiar condition in which we live re<|uire this. The judg- 
 ment of Solomon cannot by any means be executed on the child liy an unnatural division, separating 
 the intelligence from the will. While the former is being cultivated, it is necessary at the same 
 time to direct the latter towards the allainmeni of virtuous habits, and lo its last end. lie, who 
 in education neglects the will, directing all his efforts to the training of the imderslanding, 
 succeeds in making instruction a dangerous weapon in the hands of the wicked.

 To return, however, to our sketch it may be stated that although 
 these last decades have witnessed the more substantial development of our 
 schools, the good work was set on foot at a much earlier date. I-<jng 
 before anything like an organized system could be thought of, as far back 
 as the days of Father .iMieas Mactionald, fifty years ago, a pious lacly— 
 Miss Julia Cozen — was entrusted with the dut>' of teaching the children 
 of the town. That it was no mean provision in view of the circumstances 
 is clear from the following record of that time : — " This lady was a good 
 " teacher, from whom the children learned to read and speak the English 
 " language correctly. She taught them also the deft use of the needle, 
 " patiently stitching for them old-fashioned satnplcrs. Her specialty was 
 " the catechism, which she taught thoroughly, having a persistent method in 
 " compelling the children to learn it. She was a singer and taught any 
 "child who had a taste for it, to sing beautiful hymns."

Subsc(]ucnt to this time ;iml previous to I1S7.? the I'ublic School was 
 the only school in Cornwall. In the latter year the Separate School was 
 orjranized, and on the 22nd of February, in the presence of D. McMillan, 
 J. l\, the following ,tjcntlcrnen declared that " they would truly and faith- 
 fully, to the best of their judf^nicnt and ability, dischart,fc the duties of 
 Separate School Trustees," to which position they had been elected : Rev. 
 Chas. B. Murray, Georj^^e McDonell, M. McEniry, Donald McMillan (de- 
 ceased), Donald i'vlacdonaid, Joseph Tremo. At the first nieetin^tr ^f the 
 newly elected lioard. Father Murray was elected Chairman, Mr. Donald 
 McMillan, Secretary, and Mr. McEniry, Treasurer. Miss Helen Macdoiiald 
 was engaged as teacher, and the first class was opened in a somewhat shat- 
 tered frame building to the west of the new church, in the rear of the A. K. 
 Macdonald propert)'. The structure was owned by tiie late John Ban Mac- 
 lennan, who generously placed it at the disposal of the Board until more 
 fitting quarters could be provided. The first few years after the establish- 
 ment of the school were years of severe trial for those whose fond hope was 
 to place the school on a solid footing. The School Act in its original form 
 was not adecjuate to providing the necessary funds, and it was with no little 
 difficulty, and often at a considerable personal sacrifice, that the Board was 
 able to meet current expenses. Si'bse.juent amendments to the Act re- 
 moved many of the causes (jf disappointment and very materially lessened 
 the burden of the School Board. To Father Murray is principally due 
 the credit for the solid progress that was made during these years in the 
 building up of our schools. In this work, to which he applied himself so 
 zealously, he was able at all times to confidently rely upon the willing co- 
 operation (>f the Board and of the parishioners generally. Mr. Michael 
 McEniry and Mr. Geo. McDonell, as already stated, were members of 
 the first Board of Trustees ; the former is still a trustee and Secretary- 
 Treasurer of the Board, the latter was relieved only a coudIc of years ago 
 from further service. The work of both in the interest of education has 
 always been marked by fidelity and earnestness. It is no moit; than just 
 to recall here the noble act of a generous Catholic lady who has a strong 
 claim upon the gratitude of all who are sincerely interested in the cause 
 of Christian education. With the need of more commodious i)uarters 
 growing daily more apparent, and with a treasury, as already stated, barely 
 sufficient for present wants, what to do next, we can easily imagine, was a 
 matter of much concern fe^r the trustees. It was when matters were in 
 this condition that the late Mrs. Duncan Macdonald, of VVilliamstown, 
 made a free grant to St. Columban's I'arish of the property whereon the 
 Convent, the West Ward School and the parochial residence now stand. 
 This very munificent offering was the one impetus wanted to the solid 
 establishment in the Parish of the Separate School. The West Ward 
 School was accordingly built ; the staff of teachers was enlarged from time 
 to time according as the attendance increased, and it was ultimately found 
 that the only satisfactory means of providing accommodation for the 
 children was in the establishing of ward schools. Father Murray, in con- 
 

 10 
 
 junctirm with the l?<,:ucl, secured the property in the Centre W arcl as wel 
 as that in the East 1- nd, and in both districts he erected substantial 
 huil(Hn-s for school purposes. Since his departure the handsome annex 
 to the Centre Ward School was found to be indispensable. Many thousands 
 of dollars have in this uay been expended, but seldom or never have 
 thousands been used more judiciously. In 1884 the contract for the 
 buildiii- of the Convent was -ivcn, and on its completion the Rev. Sisters ol 
 the Con.ncation of Notre Dame were induced to undertake the char-e of 
 the ^rirls'^ The advent of the Sisters and the building of the new Centre 
 Wai^d School have worked a chan-e as visible as it is gratifym^". 1 he 
 former by their skill in the j^erformancc of their work, and the encr-y 
 and disinterestedness which characterize their efforts, have fully merited 
 the success that has accompanied their labors. The rew school in the 
 Centre Ward is a necessity of the times-havin- all the requirements of 
 a fully cciuipped school it does its work, as we should expect it to, in a 
 manner inferior to none. With the completion of the proposed addition 
 to the Fast End School, to provide extra accommodation now much 
 wanted, the schools will rest upon a f^rm footing. It is only then that 
 their efficiency can be fairly measured. 
 
 Some idea of our pro-rcss in this direction may be had from the at- 
 tendance originally and that of to-day. In 1872 one teacher sufficed to ^ 
 carry on the work of the Separate School. To-day the full staff comprises 
 thirteen teachers. A regular attendance of fifty was as much as could be 
 counted on when the school was first opened ; to-day the number exceeds 
 seven hundred. In the Convent, under the direction of Mother St. Frances 
 Borcria, the four classes are entrusted respectively to Sisters St. Margaret, 
 St Fverilda St. Mary Marccllus, and Miss Norah Murphy. The attend- 
 ance is one hundred and eighty. In the Centre Ward, Mr. John Keating 
 is Principal, and associated with him arc Mr. Edward Macdonald, Miss 
 Waters Miss Kate McAlcar, Miss Molly Macdonald and Miss Maud 
 Cameron, There are six rooms, with an attendance of three hundred and 
 sixty-seven, including a considerable number of girls. In the East l-.nd 
 Ward Sister Saint Anthony is Principal, with Miss Catherine Macdonald 
 and Miss Primeau in charge of two other rooms. The attendance in this 
 Ward is one hundred and fifty-five.

 enters in the course of the ceremony of dedication. 
 
 The Bishop, preceded by the Kii^'ht Rev. 15ishops, members of the 
 clerjry, according to their raid<, chorus of chanters, attendants and servers, 
 proceeds to the 'grand central porta! of the Church, outside the building. 
 Standing turned toward it, he says the following prayer :

 The chorus then chants the I'salm " Miserere." In the meantime, lurnint; towards the n^hi, 
 they procee:! around ihe exterior of the Church, the Uishop sprinkliui; the walls, above and below,

 When he says " Henedicere," he blesses, with the sign of the cross, the church and altar ; then 
 he again kneels until the Litany is finished. The chanters proceed :

 Thus, although my lips are silent, 
 I am singing in my heart.

 As .1 means of rctracini; the first steps in connection with the builchng 
 of St. Columban's new Church, a few extracts from the hooks of the 
 Secretary o» the Building;- Committee, will doubtless be of L,M-eater service 
 than any sketch that could otherwise be offered. 
 
 COl'Y OK SECRETARY'S MINUTES. 
 
 Mectinfj held Sunday, I'^eb. 26th, 1893.

 Moved by 1). A. M;icl)i>ncll, ;iiul seconded by A. V. Macinilliii), that 
 advcrtiscinciits for tenders be publisheil, and that tenders for the buildinj^ 
 of a new church be received up to Dec. 15th, 1893. — C/arried. 
 
 John Kioatinc, Secretary. 
 
 The tenders were duly received, the contract was awarded and the 
 Ljround was broi\en h)r the projected church on the 25th of April, 1894. 
 The walls were raised up rapidly, and on tlie 19th of Au.i,nist the corner 
 stone was laid. The following account of the interesting ceremony appeared 
 in the " Standard" at that time : — 
 
 " The conjfrcLjation of St. Columban's Church were favored with 
 splendid weather for the auspicious event that had been arranged fov 
 Sunday afternoon last, viz., the layini^ of the corner stone of the new 
 Church by His L(jrdship Bishop MacDonell, of Alexandria. It was 
 a perfect day for an outdoor ceremony and there was an imincnse assem- 
 h\n\^c of members of all denominations The walls of the spacious edifice 
 have been carried above the joists and a temporary floor was laid. The 
 entire space was filled and the adjacent grounds were crowded with 
 those who could not t^et inside. A small platfcn-m was erected at the south 
 end of the buildini,f, above the foundation for the tower, with a canopy of 
 evergreens over the seat provided for the Bishop. An avenue was formed, 
 with everujreens, from the old Church to the platform, and there was a 
 modest, but very tasteful display of bunting, the Union Jack and Dominion 
 Knsign HyiiiLj from several points of vunta^e. At the end of the avenue 
 was a handsome arch of evergreen, on which was inscribed the word 
 ' Welcome.' 
 
 "The members of the Cortiwall Branch of the C. M. B. A. and St 
 Columban's Court No. 227, of the Catholic Order of Foresters, marched to 
 the church in a body, headed by Mr.C. J. Fleck's Band. On their arrival they 
 were stationed in single file along either side of the path leading to the old 
 Church and remained in this position until His Lordship and the clergy in 
 attendance had passed through. There must have been three or four 
 thousand people present when the ceremony commenced. His Lordship, 
 in full canonicals, headed the procession, preceded by an acolyte bearing 
 the crucifix. He was accompanied by the Rev. Father Dougherty, S. J., 
 Montreal ; Father Corbett and Father DeSaunhac, Cornwall ; Father 
 Tvvomcy, VVilliamstown ; Father Fitzpatrick, St. Raphael's ; Father D. R. 
 McDonald, Alexandria ; Father W. McDonald St. Andrew's ; Father 
 Campbell, Cornwall, and a number of attendants and candlebearers. The 
 procession formed in the old Church and marched to the rear of the new 
 building, where a cross marked the position that will be occupied by the 
 altar. Here the water and salt used in the blessing of the corner stone 
 were solemnly blessed by the Bishop, who then proceeded to the platform, 
 where the principal ceremony was to take place. The corner stone was 
 raised, and His Lordship, using a handsome silver trowel, presented to him 
 for the occasion, spread the mortar and set the stone in its position in the 
 front wall of the towqn The blessing of the stone was accompanied by th<? 
 
i 
 
 20 
 very solemn aiitl impressive service wf the Rotrniii C'iitliolic Church. The 
 stone having been well aiRl Iruly laid, the j)r(jcessi()n re-formed and marched 
 around the church, sin^n'n^ psalms in Latin, while His Lordship performed 
 the ceremony of blessing the building. 
 
 " On their return to the platform, Rev. Father Dougherty delivered an 
 elociuent sermon from the very approprii-te text: 'Thou art I'eter, and 
 ui)on this rock I will build my Church, and the ^ates of hell shall not 
 prevail aj^ainst it. I will j^ive unto thee the keys of the kingdom (jf 
 Heaven ; whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth shall be bound in Heaven, 
 and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth shall be loosed in Heaven.' 
 
 "After the sermon the choir, under the direction of Mr. C. J. Fleck, 
 rendered some excellent music. 
 
 " His Lordship and the attendant clert^ymcn then proceeded to the old 
 Church, where Benediction was held, Rev. Father DeSaunhac officiating. 
 
 ".The Corner Stone is a massive block of cut limestone. The outside 
 surface has been polished and bears the following Latin inscription, inlaid 
 withhold leaf: —

 The English translation of which is, 'On the 19th day of August, 1894, 
 the Right Reverend Alexander MacDonell, Bishop of Alexandria, blessed 
 and laid this Corner Stone of St. Columban's Church, Cornwall.' In a 
 cavity hollowed under the stone was placed a tin box containing a sealed 
 bottle in which were a number of current Canadian coins, besides several 
 documents and records. One of these documents contained the following 
 record : — 
 
 His Holiness Leo XHI, j;loriously reigning as I'onliff of the Church ; 
 Her Most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria, hajipily ruling over the British ICmjjire ; 
 His Excellency the Right Honorable .Sir John Campbell Hamilton Gordon, ICarl of Aberdeen, 
 Governor-General of the Dominion of Canada ; 
 
 Hon. George A. Kirkpatrick, Lieutenant-Governor of the Province of Ontario ; 
 
 Sir John S. D. Thonijwon, K. C. M. G., Premier of the Dominion of Canada : 
 
 Hon. Wilfrid Lr.urier, Lea<ler of the Opposition ; 
 
 Sir Oliver Mowat, Premier of the Province of Ontario ; 
 
 Right Rev. Alexander MacDonell, D. D., Bishoj) of Alexandria ; 
 
 Rev. George Corbett, Pastor of St. Columban's Church, Cornwall. 
 
 " Another document contained the names of the members of the 
 Dominion and Ontario Cabinets, the names of the local members, Dr. 
 Bergin, M. P., and John Bennett, M. P. P. ; the Warden of the United 
 Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry ; the Mayor and members of 
 Town Council and civic officers; Postmaster of the Town of Cornwall, Sheriff 
 Judges of the Division and County Court, Clerks, gaol officials, etc. Besides 
 this, there was a list of the teachers of the Separate Schools and the j| 
 
 number of pupils on the roll. In the box along with this bottle were 
 copies of the leading newspapers of Canada, including the Toronto Empire, 
 
•

 21 
 Toronto Globe, Montreal Gazette, Montreal Star. Catholic Keijister. 
 Catholic KecortI, FreehoUler, Glenj;arrian, Glenj^arry News and the Stan 
 dard. There was also a copy of the constitution of the Catholic Order of 
 Foresters, with a list of the officers of the local Court." 
 
 SujKjrvisinfT the work on behalf of the contractors was Mr. I.ouis 
 Chevalier, and in the interests of the con^'re^ation Mr. Duncan A. 
 MclJonell and Mr. Duncan McDonald, to all three of whom first honors 
 are due for the thoroughly satisfactory character of the work throuj^^hout 
 its different stages. 
 
 The Architect chose for the new Church the Roman style of architec- 
 ture, with its domes and arches at once so noble and so graceful and that 
 other distinguishing feature, the Latin cro.ss, which lends itself .so readily to 
 the development of this style of architecture. Romanesque architecture 
 dates from the eleventh century and is founded on Gothic models from 
 which, in the course of centuries, it little by little receded without, however, 
 losing wholly the stamp of its august origin. In St. Columban's new Church 
 we have a faithful reproduction of the original Gneco-Gothic, modified, how- 
 ever, to suit circumstances and taste. 
 
 A front, imposing yet plain, supports a belfry ami spire unique in coi:- 
 struction as well as in design. With projecting mouldings it rises from the 
 lateral doors, encircling between the upper arch of the main doorway atid 
 the base of the tower, a rose window placed with precision and skilfully 
 executed, which, with the lateral windows and the carved pedestals and 
 caps, make an ensemble not burdened with ornament, but none the less 
 grand and majestic. At the roof, the pillars of the tower terminate in 
 square-topped turrets, surmounted by heavy bronze statues. 
 
 Within, the central vault is supported by a double row of columns of 
 chaste and elaborate style. We cannot, however, in the compass of a few 
 short paragraphs, attempt to describe in detail the sanctuary, the choir, the 
 altars, which of course are to be found in every church ; it must suffice to 
 draw attention to the specially distinguishing; features of this interior — 
 finished in plaster and decorated with gold. The transept, for example, 
 with its four groups of columns forming the axis of the Latin cross and 
 surmounted by an elegant dome and pendant, seems to be well deserving 
 of special mention. Not less worthy of notice, for the distinct merit of 
 their arrangement as well as for their pleasing effect, are the colonnettes face 
 to face from the clustered pillars of the transept to receive the figures of 
 the Saints who are to stand on guard, so to speak, at the entrance to the 
 Sanctuary. Bright light from the dormer windows of the roof, is shed 
 upon the central vault by means of a series of cross-arches which with the 
 side and transept windows, so happily proportioned, easily disposes of the 
 important question of light and sunshine. Another detail, novel as well as 
 noteworthy, is the descent from front to rear in the floor of the nave : a 
 descent of eighteen inches from the front door to the communion rail, 
 whereby all places within the sacred edifice are of equal value and all the 
 faithful are assured of an excellent view of the Altar and Sanctuary, 
 
1 
 
 22 
 
 i\ few fi^uiics will t;ivc an itlcii of ihc proportions of the new (luirch, 
 of which the Catholics of Cornwall have just reason to he prouil. Its 
 lenj,fth is 174 feet and its width 66, the dimensions of the transept Ixinj^ 
 80 feet by 30. The height of the central vault is 46 feet, and that of the 
 tower, 176 feet. A capacious Sacrist)' in two Hats, 44 by 34, extends from 
 the left of the sanctuary, with which it conuiiunicates by an entrance at 
 the l^lpistle corner of the altar. 
 
 To beauty of form, St. Culumban's new Church joins another feature 
 of vastly ^neater iinportancc — solidity of construction. It was no trilling 
 matter indeed U) raise up the imposinf.^ mass that we look upon to-day, on 
 the shifting', clayey bed whereon our town rests. The first move of the 
 Architect, who at the very outset fully appreciated this difficulty, was to seek 
 for the solid rock by actual soundings all ar(jund the circumference of the 
 projected etlifice. His next step will be remembered by the presence of 
 tliat marvellous piece of mechanism, so well adaj)tL'd f(jr its work — the 
 steam hannncr. And to-day, with [greater reason than ever, may we ^lory 
 in the fact that the (,'hurch is built upon a solid foundation ; the walls 
 throULjlKHit rest upon a base twelve feet in width of j)iles twelve inches in 
 diameter, which sink down to the subterranean rock, a distance varying 
 from thirt)- to thirty-six feet. 
 
 As refjjarils the comfort of the faithful, nothinjf seems to have been 
 overlooked. An excellent system (jf heatini^, comprisinj^ the most im- 
 proved Gurney Steam Boiler ft)r the Church, and the "Star" I lot-water 
 Hoiler for the Vestry, has already proved its efficiency to the entire satis- 
 faction of the committee The i)evvs have been built by the Globe Manu- 
 facturing Co., of Walkerville, Out., and while due attention was paid to 
 comfort and convenience, it was primarily sought to preserve by their sur- 
 passing excellence, the harmony that pervades the Church generally. The 
 side altars, erected in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St Joseph, 
 respectively, together with the magnificent Way of the Cross, arc the gift of 
 Dean Murray, of Trenton. They are in perfect accord with the other 
 details of the sacred edifice and will establish for Father Murray a lasting 
 claim to the grateful remembrance of St. Columban's people. 
 
 The plans of the new Church were traced by Mr. George E. Tanguay, 
 of Tanguay & Vallec, Quebec, and the contract for the carrying out of 
 the.se plans was placed in the hands of Hoileau Bros., of He Bizard, near 
 Montreal, the contract price being $47,500. The decorations in gold were 
 undertaken by Gauthier Bros., of Quebec, whilst Me.ssrs. St. Jactjues & 
 Normand, of Ottawa, contracted for the heating. The altars already 
 referred to, were built by Mr. Thomas Hanley, of Belleville ; and of him, as 
 well as of all others who have engaged in the enterprise now so happily 
 completed, the best that can be said by way of commendation is to invite 
 inspection of thgir work. On that they stand or fall.

 Reverend Geor^^e Corbett was born near Alexandria, in the County of 
 Gien^^arry, on April ist, 1847. He received his early education in the 
 Brothers' School in Alexandria, under whose care he was prepared for First 
 Communion and Confirmation. Later on he attended the Separate School 
 near Munro's Mills, rcturnintr finally to the Separate School in Alexandria. 
 In 1864 lie went to St. Joseph's Colle;.,fe, now the University of Ottawa, 
 where he remained two years. Desirirg to acquire a knowledge of the 
 French language he made choice of the College of St. Therese. In 1871 
 he entered the Grand Seminary and continued his theological .studies until 
 his ordination on the 2[st of September, 1873. He was ordained in Mont- 
 real by Archbishop Fabre. His first field of labor was in and about 
 Kingston and Wolfe Island, at which latter place he delivered his first 
 sermon. During his stay in Kingston he was Chaplaiti to the Sisters of the 
 Hotel Dieu, and hLso to the Sisters of the Congregation de Notre Dame, 
 and from time to time, temporarily replaced some of the Pastors in other 
 quarters of the Diocese. In this capacity he spent some time in St Andrew's, 
 and also some twenty years ago he attended to Cornwall during the absence 
 in Rome of the Rev. Father Murray. In 1879 he was appointed by the late 
 Bishop O'Brien to the permanent charge of St. Andrew's. 
 
 Upon the nomination of His Lordship Bishop MacDonell, Father 
 Corbett was transferred to the vacant pastorate of Cornwall. He is a mem- 
 ber of the C. M. B. A., and Chaplain of the Cornwall Branch. This Society 
 established ten years ago, has steadily taken root in the Parish, and has 
 been productive of incalculable good. Last year they celebrated the tenth 
 anniversary of their organization, when His Honor Judge Curran eulogi/ed 
 the Association for the work it is everywhere achieving. Working towards 
 the same end, although more particularly among the yoi .ger class, is St. 
 Columban's Court, No. 227, of the Catholic Order of Foresters. This 
 fraternal organization has made most gratifying strides during the four 
 years of its existence in Cornwall, whereof the best evidence perhaps is to 
 be found in the recent organizatio'i of u .second Court in our midst.

 One of the chan-es which time has worked is a more convenient loca- 
 tion for the priest's house. In the time of I'ather Hennett, the Presbytery 
 was down on Second street, on the site of the residence (jf Mr. Geo. 
 McD'jnell (Athol). Father IkMinett lived there in the house occupied at 
 pre.sent by Councillor Phillips. S'Mnewhat similar was the condition of one 
 of his successors in the pastcjrate— Father Cannon. When the latter came 
 to Cornwall the erstwhile Presbytery on Second street had passed mto 
 other hands, and in the interval, durint,' which a more conveniently situated 
 residence was building— the one in fact which served that purpose until the 
 buildint,^ of the present pastoral residence— P^ither Canncju boarded with 
 Air. Hiram Pitts (deceased) on First Street West.

 Two events dm-ing the time of Father Hennett consi)ired to proviile 
 more suitably for his temporal wants and at the same time to contribute 
 materially to his labors. One was the di-^int,^ of the canal, which attracted 
 larLje numbers t(j Cornwall, man\' of whom became permanent residents. 
 The other was the brcakint,r out of the rebellion, and not long after Corn- 
 wall became the head-c|uarters of several companies of .soldiers. Such 
 arrangements were made to receive them as the circumstances of the times 
 would allow ; .some were billeted among the townsfolk, and a large portion 
 of them occupied the building now known as the Halmoral Hotel, which 
 was converted into a temporary barracks. I-^ither Bennett found his labors 
 very largely augmented as a result of the presence of the Militia.

 In answer to an invitation to the past pastors of Conuvall who are 
 still living, to favor the Dedication Souvenir with their personal reminis- 
 cences and thereby enhance its merit, kind replies were received, for 
 which a grateful acknowledgment is hereby made. Not all, however, were 
 able to encroach upon their time to the extent we wished fov. From the 
 Reverend J. S. O'Connor, however, came the following wished-for sketch of 
 his stay in our midst :

 that transpirod in Cormvall diiriti^ iny incumbency thereof, between the 
 24th September, 1856, and the i6th November, 1866, for incorporation in 
 }-()ur proposed historical sketch of the Mission since the period of its foun- 
 dation ; and which I gather from your letter that you intend Ljiving to the 
 pubh'c, on the occasion of the Dedication of your t^rand new C'hurch some 
 time this season. Owing, however, to the sliort time now at my dis[)()sal, I 
 can only make a few brief notes, as follows : 
 
 When I assumed the charge of Cornwall Mission on the 24th Soi)ten- 
 l)er, 1856, as above stated, the then Parish Church was simpl)' a frainc 
 building (rough-cast outside), its dimensions being about 30 by 40 feet 
 inside, with a frame vestry attached of some 10 by 12 feet interior, and a 
 frame tower and belfry in front ; and stood lengthwise along Fourth street, 
 just outside the present old Saint Columban's Church. After having taken 
 some tiinc to make preparations for the undertaking, hcrcu'ean at th.it 
 date, as the population of Cornwall all told did not then total ?,ooD souls, 
 we laid the foundations of this latter Church and Vestry in the autumn of 
 1864, and had it ready for occupation (in an unfinished state of course,) b)- 
 Christmas Day, 1865, ind I now recall that during the threatened I'^enian 
 raid in the spring and summer of 1S66, I was obliged to have an early 
 Mass at 8 a.m. on Sundays, for the accommodation of the Catholic soldiers 
 — regulars and volunteers — who were then stationed in Cornwall as a 
 probable objective point of invasion from across the Canadian lines. 
 
 I may add here that during my pastorate of Cornwall. — in the summer 
 of 1862 I think it was — we secured a free grant from the late Honorable 
 George Crawford, of l^rockville, of the lot of land at Dickinson's Lan.ling, 
 whereon we crectcu the main portion of the brick Chapel dedicated in 
 honor of St. Patrick, and had it read)' for use on New Year's D.iv, 1803, 
 when the late Bishop Horan, of happy memory, came down from Kingston 
 during that very severe season and blessed the Chapel that New Year's 
 morning ; and presided afterwards at the first Mass, (a soleinn high one,) 
 celebrated therein by your humble confrere, assisted by the parish Choir 
 from Cornwall itself. 
 
 These were considered extraordinary achievements at that date, but 
 to-day they pale almost into insignificance befoie your magnificent new 
 Saint ColuiTiban's Church, which shall remain as an enduring monument and 
 testimonial to your own ceaseless energy, as well as to the devotion and 
 generosity of your zealous parishioners of Cornwall. A further proof of 
 the wonderful progress your parish has made, spiritually as well as in 
 point of numbers, is to be found in the plain fact that, whereas thirty years 
 ago one priest amply sufficed for the religious needs of the Catholic con- 
 gregation asseinbling in old St. Columban's Church: Four priests and two 
 large Churches have all they can do to supply a similar want to-day! 
 Prosperc proccdc, pater, ct rcgna ad viultos annos !

 Ivithcr Lynch contented himself with a reference to the phistcrinij of 
 the old church and the fitting up of the vestry. Some of his former 
 parisliioners, however, recall a very successful Bazaar which was held with 
 a view to raising the funds rctjuired f.i die aforesaid imi)rovcments. The 
 most lively interest was shown among all classes of the people ; and 
 when to this was added the encouraging presence and support of his 
 Lordship Bishop Iloran, wc can eisily understand how Father Lynch's 
 liax.aar proved one of the most satisfactory undertakings in the whole 
 history of the parish. In this cor.ncction it may be said it is now just forty 
 years since the first Bazaar was held in Cornwall. It was in the summer 
 of 1856, during the incumbency of Father Walsh. It was organized and 
 carried out b)- a committee comjjosed of the lollowing ladies: Mrs John 
 Sandfield Macdonald, Mrs. D. Macdonald, Mrs. Angus Macdonald 
 (Deputy). Mrs. Col. Angu- McDonald, Mrs. Donald McMillan, Mrs. Lachlan 
 McDonald, and Mrs. John S. McDougald. The sum realized was $600.00.

 The Mass which is said to-day is the regular Mass for the Dedication 
 of a Church, with a commemoration of the Sunday, the third after I'entc- 
 cost and also of St. Basil. 
 
 The liishop, attendctl by the Deacon and Sub-deacon, recites at the 
 foot of the altar the XLII. Psalm, the Confiteor, and, asccndinj^j the altar 
 and kissing it, the prayer for pardon and grace, after which going to the 
 right corner of the altar he commences the

 On the twenty-fourth day of March of the year eighteen hundred and

 The next entry is of interest more especially to the Catholics of the 
 Landing district :

 In view of the facts related in the Sketch, we can easily realize how

 corded in the following extract :

 L'niike many other Orders the rates of endow- 
 ment assessment yiven above remain the same in 
 I he Catholic Order of l''oresters from the time of 
 joining. There is no advance with increased 
 aj;e. Hear this in mind when makinj; com- 
 parisons with other Orders. 
 
 HOW TO JOIX THK ORDER, 
 
 When a practical male Catholic of sounil 
 health, between the aj;es of einhleen and forty- 
 live years, desires to join the C O. !•'., he must 
 (irst make application in writinj^ to a subordinate 
 Court (blank application can be .secured from 
 members), and have the ^aiiie sijjned by two 
 members in j^ood standing, to assure his good 
 character, and present through a member said 
 application, accompanied by two dollars ; th^' 
 
 apjjlicant will then be balloted for, and if ac- 
 cepted he will be r^-ferred to the .Medical l'',x- 
 aminer for examination, and if he be passed by 
 the physician and High .Medical F.xaminer, he 
 will, on payment of the balance of his initiation 
 fei and one dollar (piarterly dues, and one as- 
 sessment for endowment fund, be admilted as a 
 member. 
 
 Wc make a special appeal to the women of 
 our Church to become active agents in the work 
 of propagating and extending our Order. Voit 
 an' dirvitty iuleirstd. 
 
 .Should your hiisbaml, father or brother die 
 (and wc all must die), in m.'.ny cases you have to 
 assume the responsible duties of suppo.ting 
 young children and aged parents. How many 
 
 TO THE WOMEN OF OlfR CHURCH. 
 
 good women are forced into a life of drudgery 
 
 because thty cannot secure enough money to 
 start in some paying business? The death 
 benefit from a society like this gives new life 
 and strength to those who hive at the same time 
 to bear the loss of the death of a relative and ihv; 
 iiicr^^ased responsibility.
