     Mr. Rand progressed from lay reader to priest while in the Parish of 
     
     Springfield. He was still a lay reader when the Rev. Allan W. Daniel, 
     
     returned to Springfield on October 7, 1923 to assist with the 75‘h 
     
     Anniversary of St. Elizabeth’s founding.45 Canon Daniel dedicated 
     
     the newly erected pulpit which was inscribed as follows: “To the 
     
     Glory of God and in Loving Memory of Thomas Haslam the founder 
     
     of the church and his wife Elizabeth. This pulpit was erected in 1923 
     
     by their descendants.” A lectem was given by Misses Mary and Sarah 
     
     Essery and Carrie Haslam, Charlottetown. Lastly, a prayer desk was 
     
     presented in memory of Lewis Haslam (grandson of Thomas and 
     
     Elizabeth) and wife Sarah Hannah Dixon, by H. Binney, Everett, 
     
     Carrie and Mary, their four children. During his tenure the Rev. C .C. 
     
     Rand revived and taught at the Singing School in Springfield. Each 
     
     Saturday evening during the winter months community residents 
     
     would meet in the home of a participant to practice singing for 
     
     pleasure and profit. Given the number of Anglicans in Springfield the 
     
     school indirectly benefited church music.
