The coincidence that this year r.Sgu brings the anniversary of the fonnding of Trinity Church. Montrkai,, 50 years ago, and also the anniversary of the opening of the present church on St. Denis vStreet, 25 years Sgo, has suggested the preparation of the following brief history. As all the earliest official records of the church are not in existence, the information has been gathered from various sources, and the compiler, at the outset, desires to thank several friends who have favored him with facts and remembrances on the subject. Thanks are due to Coroner Jones and Mr. Charles Grant for their kindness in ler ling portraits of Mr. \Villoughl;y and illustrations of the old church on St. Paul Street. The writing of these annals has been undertaken as a labor of love, and they are now published in the belief that they will meet with a cordial welcome, not only from the parishioners, friends, and well-wishers of Trinity Church, who are not few in number, but also from many others who are interested in a i)ublic-spirited way in all the past history and future prospects of our important and fast-growing city.

'A general meeting of the pew-holders was convened on Monday, Apri' ijtli, 1843, at which the Rev. Mark Wil- TRliXn y CHLKCll, MONTRE.il.. IT loughby read the deed of Transfer and Trust, after which he nominated Mr. Joseph Jones, and the meeting elected Mr. John H. Maitland, as wardens of the .said chapel for the year. ,. On February 19th, 1846, a committee was appointed " to take such .steps as may be necessary to pull down the " old brewery adjacent to the church, and to erect a stone " wall, etc." At the same meeting, Mr. W. Kvans was requested to " enquire relative to the expense of gas, and " to report at the aiunial meeting." On July 15th, 1847, Rev. Mr. Willoughby (aged 51) died from .ship fever, contracted whilst visiting the emi- grant .sheds and ministering to the sufferers during that visitation. The .story of the sad event is told in the " Me- moir of Captain Hammond," of the Rifle Brigade. " One Ijy one, those whose duty and /eal led them to the fever "sheds were stricken themselves, and among them two "of Hammond's own friends; and at their bedsides he " watched and nursed them with a brother's tenderness " and love. The two friends who sickened were Captain " Lloyd of the Royal Navy, and INIr. Willoughby, the " clergyman of Montreal. "Upon the arrival of the emigrants, Mr. Willoughby organ- " izeda small band from among his congregation to attend " to the wants, temporal and spiritual, of the sick and dying "at the emigrant sheds. Tluy were indefatigable in their " exertions, until, one by one, they caught the fever raging "among those unha]ipy ])eople. Captain IJoyd was the " first who was laid u]). His illness lasted thirteen days, "and ended in his death- Mr. Willoughby was taken ill " about three days after Captain IJoyd. 1 was with him " during the last three days of his illness- The dis])ensa- "tion is a heavy one, and is deeph felt by the congrega- " tion. It ajjpears strange that these men should be taken "away in the midst of usefulness, falling victims to their "devotedness to their Master's cause and their love to " their fellow-creature.s. We can only say, ' It is the lyoni; " let Him do what seemeth Him good.' " ■ I la JUBILEE lllsrOKV OE Mr. Willoiighby was buried on i6th July, 1H47, and one who was ]>resent says : " Although 43 years have "elapsed, yel I can never forget that hot afternoon, when " I and hundreds of others wended our way to the old " Dorchester vStreet burial-ground, to pay our last tribute " of respect to one whom Montreal could ill spare at that "eventful period of sickness and death." In a funeral sermon preached at Trinity Church by the Rev. W. B. Bond (who has been spared to this day, and whotn we respect as our beloved Bishop, the jubilee year of whose ministry has just been commemorated), the fol- lowing testimony is borne to the " martyr's spirit " mani- fested by the deceased, and by those friends who attended him in his last illness." *' No small portion of llie martvi's spirit is recjuired 1" face '■ iufi'clioiis and nialij^nant disease; to look upon the " agonies of the dying ; to behold their struggles, and listen '' to their'delirions ravings. Xo small jjortion of the mar- " tyr's spirit is required to witness those jnoofs of intense "sntTering, to feel aroinid the breath of death, to know that " yon are braving him, as it wfre, in the midst of his king- " tlom, and that in a moment you ma) be one amongst the '■ dying. No small portion of this spirit is required to wit- " ness and to know all this ; and yet ealndy and fearlessly " to go on with duty, resolutely and perseveringly toenter " the abode of infection, and minister to the wants of the "dying. It is not an easy nmtter thus to act in the midst "of all this danger and death, and without any earthly "motives to ])romj)t to the self-devotion and the sacrifice- " We can see sufficient moving power only in the spirit of " the (lospel and the love of ( lod " , * It is (Uic to Ijishop Jimul to ictord that he, ton, w.ns one of the faithful ministers who attended to the siifferei-i during tlie ship fever in 1847, It is not a little remark.ible that the Ri-ihop wa-; ordained as IJearon in (Jiiebec Cathedral on June loth, 1840 in company with Uev.

One of his congregation, Mr. Lusher, in answer to the (juestion " Do you remember Mr. Willoughby?" replied " Yes, I rememl)er him v\ell, and no one whoever knew "him could possibly forget him ; his memory is still fra- " grant with all that is good and true. " He was a man of good arlministrative ability, gentle and full of kindness, and attenti\eto tlie wants and wishes of his peoj)le, and he probably had a greater living hold on the hearts of his congregation than any other clergy- man in Montreal at that time." One who knew him well says : "So beloved was he, amongst all classes, that the gentlemen of the Seminary .sent frecjuently during the days of his sickness to ent|uire after him." His attendance on the sick emigrants almo.st pa.sses belief. He furnished them with milk and other comforts, which he distributed with his own hands, passing from bed to bed, irrespective of race or creed. This faithful servant of Christ, for his Ma.ster's sake, cheerfully volunteered and yielded up his life in this perilous service, falling as nobly at duty's call as ever soldier fell on the field of battle. He was Iniried (as already said) in the (jld Pro- testant burial-ground in Dorchester vStreet, and when this was converted by the Corporation into Dufferiu »Square, in 1 87 1, Mr. Jones caused the remains to be removed to Mount Royal Cemetery, and re-interred them in his own lot. The monument to his memorj- was also removed, n will sorrow be "changed for unclouded bliss, and all tears wiped away. " vSoon shall we join the company who have reached the " heavenly Jerusalem, and join our voices with those loved " ones who have gone before us, and with them take up "the notes of eternal praise to Mim who loved us and " washed us from our sins in His own blood. Yet a little "while, and he that shall come will come, and will not "tarry. Indeed, these are worus of comfort with which *' to cheer and comfort one another, as we journey through "the lonely wilderness. .Some arc called upon to pass " through the deeper waters, and to drink a larger measure "of the cup of sorrow. Hut how precious to them is He " who bears them up ; how deep is that joy which succeeds "the night of weeping.

Jackson, Conniiander of the Forces, who in 1841-42 administered the Government, died suddenly in Montreal in July, 1H45, and his funeral service was conducted at the church in St. Paul Street, the church being put into mourning. Earl Cathcart who came from England as his successor, and subsequently became Governor-Cjcneral, was also a pew-holder. His Excellency J. Poulett Thompson (created Lord Sydenham) attended the church during his residence in this city, up^ to the removal of the Government to Kingston on May 20th, 1841, and although the Govern- ment was stationed at Kingston during the term of the governorship of Sir Charles Metcalfe, it is almost certain that His Excellenc)- attended Trinity Church when he' visited Montreal. The congregation was always marked for its loyalty. At a vestry meeting held on 19th April, 1849, the following resolution was passed :— "That the pew originally fiUe.\ fREAL. «7 Among other names of prominent citizen-> we find Judges Day, Dunkinand Gale, Sheriff Coffin, Dr. Hohnes and Tiian}- others, who were pevv-holdpf.s.

Mr. Campbell was very unpopular, and he alienated the congregation .-o much that, as the records of the ves'i.- m^.'.tln.s .show, he was on several occasions alone or 'v.th only one other person present, in consequence of \.nich no btisiness could be transacted.

Mr. Henry Rogers, of Wolverhampton, Eng- land, was an energetic and liberal friend to the church at this juncture. Reverend Charles Bancroft, M.A., afterward.s Canon, succeeded Mr. Campbell in the charge, and his zeal and energy re.stored harmony and good feeling, and the con- gregation again grew under his ministry. After a time the church did not furni.sh accomniodation sufficient for the number of attendants, and therefore, on the removal of the Cathedral congregation from the church on Gosford Street (where they had worshipped after the burning of the Cathedral on Notre Dame Street), the congregation of Trinity Church purchased it, and moved into that building. Although no record can be found of the exact date of the first services in the Church on Gosford Street (then called St. John's), yet as the new Cathedral was opened for public worship in the fall of i860, it may be presumed this was the time when the congregation of Trinity Church removed frora St. Paul Street and began to worship in Gosford Street. TRIMTV cmJRC/l, M(...\'rRE.\r.. '9 It is worthy of remark here that for proper, but too uncommon, reverential reasons, the first edifice (on St. Paul vStreet) was taken down and removed stone b)' stone, although the sum received for the property was on that account much less than would have been paid for it, had consent been given to adapt and use the building for secular purposes. It may be added that this is not the onh- in.stance in the history of the parish when right principle has not been ignored or abandoned for mere pecuniary motives. The Second Trinity Church was built as the "Second Congregational Church," and opened in 1.S45. It was erected from designs furnished by Mr. John Wells, and is in the Grecian style of architecture. The length of the building, including the portico, is 7S feet, the width 50 feet, and the height from the prtvement to the apex of the pediment oppcsite the centre of the frpnt is 50 feet. The portico has six Ionic columns 26 feet 6 inches in height. The church was calculated to .seat H40 persons. Such was the building occupied by the congregation of Trinit}- Church until the completion of the new church on St. Denis .Street, in vSeptember, 1865. The relinquished edifice was then leased to the military authorities as a Garrison chapel, and on the withdrawal of the Briti.sh troops was sold. The corner stone of the church on vSt. Denis .Street was laid on June 23rd. r864, by Bishop Fulford, the following being the programme of the ceremony: — 1-^ ( .

He was the brother of Mr. Jo.seph Barnby, the well-known musical composer, now organist in the Albert Hall, London. Rev. Canon Bancroft, who entered upon his duties as Rector, in January, 1.S59, officiated in ail the three churches, viz., in that on vSt. Paul vStreet, next in Gosford vStreet, and also on the St. Denis Street church. Dr. Bancroft labored faithfully and earnestly, for more than 17 years, to sustain the standing of the church, and was respected and beloved ; but failing health at length induced him to resign the appointment in 1S76. It is well known that Dr. Bancroft had many offers from congregations in the United States, but his heart 26 yvniiEE iirsroKV o/' clunjf to liis native city of Montreal, and he refnsed to entertain any jiroposals, saying that he couhl not l)e liappy out of Canacht. Those nienihers of the congregation who remember Dr. Bancroft will recall his mcnior> with satisfaction ; his faithful ministration, his kindtiess and gentleness to the poor, and at the bedside of the sick, will rise to memory as testimc>nials to his worth, and it may be said of him : " NoiK- kiKw liini hut lo love liiiii. None iiaiiie him hut to praise." During the rectorshi]) of Dr. Bancroft, the Assistant Ministers who officiated for the longest periods, and who will be best remembered by the peo])le, are : — Rev. \V^ B. Curran, who resigned to accept the charge of St. Stephen's Church, Montreal, and sid)sequently removed to Ontario ; he is now Rector of St. Thomas' Church, Hamilton, and Canon of the Diocese of Niagara. Rev. Canon Dumoulin, M. A., now Rector of ,St. James. Cathedral, Toronto, who.se earnest eloquence is not likely to be forgotten by iho.se who heard him during his term of .service in the church ; and Rev. O. Fortin, B. A., who.se genird manner and pains- taking industry rendered him a general favorite. He left the city, after three years' mini.stry in Trinity Church, to assume a wider field of usefulness at Winnipeg, Man. He is still laboring as Rector of Trinity Church in that city, and is Archdeacon of Rupert's Land. A long series of misforttines now began to gather rotind the church. It was originally intended to contain 1000 .sittings, and the co.st estimated at fifty thou.sand dollars, but the plan was altered to seat 1500 per.sons, with the laudable and apostolic view of furnishing accommodation It RmMMMHai Canon Curran II TRIKIIY CHURCH, MONTREAL. il for the poor. IMius the actual cost far exceeded the amount named, and a considerable sum was borrowed on mortgage. The interest on this amount became a heavy burden, and these difficulties, increased by the with- drawal of the troops from Canada and the removal westward of a large number of the congregation, caused .such a falling off in the inconit, that it became insufficient to carry on the work of the church, thus producing great embarrassment. The congregation struggled on, however, with varying fortunes, until the foreclosure of the mort- gage, when the building actually pa.ssed out of their hands. During this time, Trinity Church was unrepre- sented in the Synod, and therefore was not recognized as a distinct congregation of the Diocese ; nevertheless, through the earnest efforts of a few members of the old congrega- tion, services were conducted during this trying period. The church was at length .sold by the sheriff (in 1882), and bought by the Trust & Loan Co. to secure them- .selves, and they gratuitously granted permi.s.sion to use the building for divine service. Through the exertions of His Lordship Ki.shop Bond and Venerable Archdeacon Evans, and thw liberality of Mr. A. F. Gault, (whose large-hearted generosity towards church objects on many occasions, calls for most greatful recognition) and also Mr. Charles Ciarth, and other friends, a sum of $23,000 was raised, which, with an additional sum of $15,000 borrowed on mortgage, recovered the property from the. Trust tills became Rector, there were but 42 families and 18 connnunicants to be counted as belonging to the parish. Five months afterwards the number of families had risen to 83. Taking the parochial statistics during subsequent years as criteria, in 1886, the number of families was 311 ; in 1888, 373 families and 420 commu- nicants ; and at the present time (November, 1890) the parish books show that 445 families or individuals are receiving pastoral care. The numl/er of actual communi- cants at present, not including casuals, or those who have removed during the year, is 567. There have been 1 1 adult baptisms this year, and at the la.st confirmation on April 20, 58 candidates were confirm- ed, the largest number in the histor}' of the church, at a yearly confirmation ; on one occasion 94 were con- firmed by Bi.sliop Cronyn, but after an interval of three years. was over who iring 882. 1 are :iide, cietv was :h an y to the has sent very it 42 ;r of sties nber imu- ) the . are uni- liave I ! Canon Dumoumk TRINITY CHURCH, MOX'fREAT.. 29 A history of the church woitUI be incomplete which did not record that in its very earliest days a vSunday school was established, which has been sustained with efficiency until the present time. Amongst the names of past super- intendents we recall Messrs. Henrj- liancrolt (brother of Canon Bancroft) and William Cooper, still living at Longueuil. At one time, too, a day school was in active operation, of which the Rev. Mr. Dixon, the present Rector of St. J ude's Church, had charge, and in connec- tion with it the name of Mr. Charles Walkem, R. K., may be mentioned who took a great interest in it and all matters connected with the Church. One son is at present a judge in Br'tish Columbia, and two sons are leading lawyers at Kingston, Ont. In this connection it may be well to record that the accommodation for the Sunday School and the Bible Class is not second to that of any other Church of Kiigland congregation in the city. It is worthy of note that in addition to Mr. Joseph Jones, ^- who was the first warden of the " Chai)el " in 1840, and who still survives at the advanced age of 83 ; Mr. John Lovell who was one of the wardens at the time of Mr. Willoughby's death in 1847, i^ i^till living.

Mr. Garth has been elected to the office no less than fifteen times (the first date being 1S62), and his love for the church is stronger than ever ; and of Mr. Bone it is suffi- cient to say that he is a worthy colleague. After fifty years of existence, it is gratifying to be able to .say that the prospects of the church are to-day fjright and encouraging. The Rector, Rev. Canon Mills, B. D., and the Assistant Minister, Rev. Ernest A. Willoughby King, M. A., are zealous and earnest in their work, and, moreover, are respected and beloved. It is hoped that under their ministrations, with God's blessing, a long career of prosperity and usefuhiess is in store for Trinity Church. It i.s a singular and noteworthy coincidence that Rev. Mr. King is a godson of :he first minister of the church. Rev. Mark Willoughb\-. As a matter for further congratulation it may be added that the musical services were never rendered so accept- ably as at the pre.sent time, under the direction of Mr. Henry Miles as choir-master, and Mr. W. H. vSefton as organist, with a choir of unusual ability, who deserve great jiraise for the reverent and efficient manner in which they render the nuisical portion of the services. The Choir has recentl}- been strengthened by the addition of over sixty voices chosen from amongst the junior members of the congregation (both male and female) and the experiment has been most .'satisfactory. The i)resent efficiency of the choir is mainly due to the enthusiastic energy of Mr. Henry Milt.s. It is not presumed that this brief .story is a full record of everything connected with the eventful history of the church. No one is more sensible of its many short-coming.s •lit \\v. \\K\. (>.

" Although it has i)assed through a continuous struggle, at times even for hare existence, the church has always held aloft an unsullied banner : — " In Reasons now remote, Hcrli^lit was feeble as a jjlow-wonn's lamp, But fed by noble thoughts anil honest deeds, Tended b} virtuous hearts with patient care, Mid eold, and darkness, and anxiety, Rose higher, and glowed clearer until now. Trutli never dies, once let the seed lie sown, N(j blight can' kill it; neither winds, nor rain, Nor lightnings, nor all wrath of elements. Can e'er uproot it from the hungry soil. " The church was re-decorated, and painted and renova- ted throughout, during the summer of [888 (mainly at the expense of one of the best members of the Congre- gation), rendering it among the hand.somest of our citj- churches in the interior, and it certainly is one of the most substantial and imposing in its exterior. It would be a happy consunnnation of this jidiilee year, if any friends of the Church, bles.sed with abundant means, moved to a desire to glorify God and to promote the cause of the Master in the east end of the city, should be led to help in diminishing or wiping out the mortgage debt alroad\ referred to, wliich is the only remaining incumbrance upon Trinit\' Church. Let our aspirations be thai the days of anxiety are at an end, and let all unite in heartily wishing the Church " Many happy returns of the day, " and if it please God, many a Jubilee. " Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, they shall prosper that love thee.

C Ivvans, Ivscj., requested to act as JSHrcrfccary. After sojtie preliminary business, tlu- chairman iddri'ssod the meeting; to the lolhnviu}^ effect, rL-markiu)i( that the meeting had been convened chiefly for an object in which all their hearts must be deeply interested, viz-, the testifyinj^ in the tnost becoininj^ manner of their appreciation of the value of their late I'astor. I shall not ask, he said, whether we are sensil)le of the advaiitaj^es we enjoj'ed in the ministry of the late Rev. Mark Willouj^hby, for the (luestion would be supermogatory 1 take for j^ranted that the feelinjf of deej) rej^ret for his loss is universal — a rej^ret founded on personal and on general grounds. Who that anticipateil (as all nmst) confinement to a sick room did not look confidently to the affectionate visits of the Minister? Who that looked with aii.xiely to the s])iritual condition of their relatives did not .seek for his assistance in awakening them to their danger? Who that had children did not rejoice in having him in the Sunday School to allure them to instruction. But these are selfish consi.lerations. Tiiere a-t. more general, ;ind therefore more generous, ones. W'e saw in Mr W^illoughby a man devoted to the cause of his Master ; doing honor to his voca- tion ; realizing the Apostolic precept of "sjiending and being spent" in that Master's service, iind we saw the result of such dev()tedness in the success of his ministry. We saw him devising new plans and -vercoming by his energy all difficulties in carrying them out : — and, seeing such success arising from the blessing of (rod on his exertions, no one who had the cause of religion at heart could doubt the value of Mr. Willoughby, or not feel his loss to be a pulilic one — a loss not to ourselves only, but to the community and church at large. TNINiTY ClI'RCIl, MO.\ INEAL 33 Those rfitsoiis set'iu (|niU' suKicii'iit to warrant iiif in lonclmliii)^ thill we all felt the advantams (tf liavinj,' a iiiiiiister like Mr. Wil- loii)j;hl)y ; atul if so. a spoulaueous fecliiijj would naturally arise in our minds of showluj.; that wt- honor worth like that we have lost, nnd are grateful for the benefits we have received. We are now, therefore, nut to consult not whether a nu)uunient shall he erected to the memory of our late minister, for to that every one will say, yes — hut to consider what kind of juonument would he most ii])pro])riate On this occasion permit nu-, who, perhaps, have known .Mr. Willoughhy as long .as any in this room, to say a few words of him as a pastor of this Congregation. Mr. Willoughby, as you know, was not educated for the ministry, nor, I l)elieve, did he accejit ordination till after it had been repeatedly offered him, nor till his friends had urged upon him the acceptance of it. It has been snp- jiosed by many that he was ordained with a title for Trinity Church ; but such was not the case. His ordination h/id no reference to this church, nor, I l)elieve, did he contemplate taking any settled charge, but intended lo have continued his itinerating hibors as general agent for the Ihitish America and Newfoundland .'-chool Society — an office which he had held for several years with very great advantage to the cause of Ivlucatiou and Religion It was only some time after his ordination thai he was selected by Major Christie, and urged by him to fdl the situation of minister, and it was not without nuuh hesitation on his part, and with prayer- ful consultation with friends in whom he confided, that he finally consented to assume the respousibilit\-. The success which attended Mr. \Villoughl)\ 's ministry is a strong proof that shining talents, or extensive erudition, are not necessary to constitute a most useful and therefore the best kind of minister. Aware of himself of not possessing tho.se j)roniiuent fjualifications which are often too eagerh sought after, aiul ready to acknowledge his deficiencN-, he was the uu>re strenuous in the perforniance of those duties which he had the power to fulfd ; and God honored his zeal and devotedness by permitting him to build up a large and attached congregation ; to found one of the largest and nu)st efficient Sunday ScIhjoIs in lhi»i Province ; and to devise and carry out. by means of visiting and missionary operations, nuuiy plans for the temporal and spiritual benefit of his fellowmen, not only here, but in other parts of the Province, and even in distant lands. 34 JUini.EE HISTORY OF \\\ many it is thouj;lit that an iiidispeiisable requisite for a suc- cssful minister is oratorical power — and no one can doubt the utility of that important K'^ ; tmt Mr. Willmij^hhy jmni'd clearly that the vaiit of it could he siij)plied by less showy jK)sst'ssions. I well recollect the. doubts and nji«"''ings with which his appoint- ment was first heard of by those i with whom Major Christie usually consulttvl, but to whom iiad not referred in selecting Mr. \V'illouj.jhl)y. His deficiency of oratorical powers was thought an insujjerable bar to his success as a minister. Yet, what have we seen since? A church fdled to overflowing— a congregation firmly attached to him, and liberally sujquirlinghim in every goml work ; and his sermons, plain and unornamented as they were, delivered with little other attraction than his own earnest desire shining through them, to make them useful, were listened to with pleasure and with profit. In contemplating what he has accomi^lished, we may use the words of the rro]>het — "Not by might, nor by ]iower, but by my " spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts" — and indeed we know that he abounded in that which could not fail to call down the blessing of God upon his labors, viz. : rKAVK" ; — and hence the secret of his success — for (iod has said — "The' ;at honor nu', I will honor." Mr. Willonghby was particul.'' iduous in visiting his flock. Missing them from their accustomeu seats was suflicicnt reason for a visit of inquiry ; but it is especially Tor his zealous and assiduous attendance on the sick that he was t(j be admired. He was ready, day and night, to give his spiritual assistance to those that needed it, The poor, like the rich, partook of his care ; ami he counted no trouble or fatigue too great which gave him hope of bringing a soul to the saving knowledge of Christ ; anil many a rich consola- tion had he in the evidence of the success of his labor. Mr. Willonghby was also always ready to aid those whose tem- poral necessities requiretl assistance The poor partook largely of his bounty ; but to many who could nut be classed among those to whom we ordinarily apply tlial name he was very liberal. .Several young men, while preparing for the ministry, have owed much to his assistance. His less ltl)erally furni.shed brothers in the ministry were often benefited from his purse. His contributions to charit- able and religious .societies were very large for a man of his mrxl- erate income; and, in fact, beseemed to realize that he was but the Steward of the gifts put into his hands by (i() , which apjieared to strike a chonl in the hearts of all present. Moved l)y Major (leneral Evans, C. H., seconded by Mr. J. H' Winn, A't'so/j'a/ I. — That this Conj;rej.(ation, anxious to testify lo the affectionate ami i)raycrfnl care, the judicious assiduity and untiriiifj zeal with which their deejdy hunented Taster, the Rev. Mark Wil' louj.(liby, watched over their spiritual interests, and efficiently ])er formed the duties of a faithful Christian Minister, feel most desirous of doin}^ so in some permanent manner, commemorative at once of his services and their jjrateful recollection of them.
