awareness of the diverse nature of the Church of England. This manifested itself in the founding of St. Peter 's Cathedral in Charlottetown as focal point for the Anglo- Catholic element of the Anglican Church (Church of England) within Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island . The second significant event marked during the year was the commemoration of the centennial of the of Nova Scotia 's Colonial Episcopate, 1787-1887. In conjunction with this celebration the Bishop of Niagara visited St. Peter 's Cathedral and was guest preacher for the impressive Festival Evening Service held on August 16th. The Daily Examiner reported the event in these words: The choir, followed by the clergy and the Bishop of Niagara, who was vested in his purple cassock, scarlet convocation robes, Doctor of Divinity Hood, white stole and biretta, entered the Church and took their places in the chancel at 7:30 p.m. Evensong was sung by the Rev. G.J. Magill , M.A ., Rector of Trinity Church, Newport , Rhode Island , the prayers were intoned by Rev. F.G. Murray , MA . Rector of St. Luke's Church, Halifax . The first lesson was read by Rev. C. O'Meara , Rector of St. Paul's Charlottetown , and the second lesson by Rev. C.T. Easton , B ~A.. The Bishop was preceded to the pulpit by cross bearer in girded alb, Chaplain, Rev. J. Simpson , bearing pastoral staff and two Bishop's boys in purple cassocks and girded albs. In his sermon, His Lordship referred to the mistakes and shortcomings of the Church in Canada during the last 100 years, particularly in allowing the education of youth to pass out of her hands and become secular, in closing the Churches from Sunday to Sunday, and in conforming her worship as near as possible to the sects around her, so that she could hardly be distinguished from them. Now, however, things were getting better, the worship of the Lord in the beauty of Holiness was being restored, in many Churches the daily services were said and in some the daily sacrifice offered, in a vast majority there was at least a weekly Eucharist. Sisterhoods, hospitals, schools and colleges were springing up, and God was indeed blessing her, although she had so little deserved it, and in this the commencement of her second century she was beginning to take the position she should take as the Church of God. After the sermon, the "Onward Christian Solders " was sung, while the procession went down south aisle and up the center in the following order: — Cross Bearer. Choir Boys. Banner of St. Peter 's. Choirmen. Clergy wearing Birettas. Banner of Blessed Sacrament. Staff Bearer. Bishop's Boys. The Bishop of Niagara. 89
