 worship of (iod, for th<- ii(Imiiiiitrali<»n of lh«'. sacraments 
 and ordinances of Christ, and f«>r the preadu'iv^ of the ; 
 Gospel. Hut over and al)i)ve these a Cathedral Church 
 has' special uses and responsihih'tics. It is iin|)ortant for 
 us to understand these : for Goil jj«;rinils you and \m\ for 
 the time.hein!.;. to worship in, and Lo ailniiuister, a true 
 and permanent Cathedral Church oflhe.^rt'at An^dican . 
 communion in a {^reat and nrrowint:;^ city, and in a new 
 country. To makt; tlie Cathedral of this incrc antile 
 capital of our Dominion shine in its place, with a pure, . 
 and stronj^r and steady lii^lit. to the j^lory of (io<l. and to 
 the comfort of all who love Ilim- and to hand it down 
 in honor and useftdness, and enshrined in the affections- 
 of all, to the far off fuUirtt centuries— this tnust he our 
 object, our hope, our ceaseless effort, our prayerful heart- 
 desir^. .. 
 
 We cannot be too deeply impressed with the extent 
 and permanence of fiiy work for God which lies before^ 
 this Church. It will inter<;st you to know that the exist- 
 ence of the Diocese of Montreal; its eccUrsiastical inde- 
 pendence of Quebec ; the validity of our first l)ishop's 
 appointment ; the rank of our town as a city of the Hritish 
 Empire ; and the Cathedral dignity of Christ Churchas 
 the permanent Cathedral Church of this city and tliocese, 
 rest upon the same foundation, the san)e leijal instrimient, 
 the same charter. I'liis Church is, therefore, in the fullest 
 sense a Cathedral proper ; and as such it has always been 
 recognized by this diocese and ecclesiastical province.

 d Sermon /. . ** 
 
 'It has had the nearest gift to immortality that can be 
 conferred upon it— namely, the perpetual cliijnity and 
 responsibilities of a Cathedral. 
 
 Theypermanent character which the Christian Church 
 iaipresses upon cathedrals is Intended to centre around 
 them the affections and the cordial support of the dio- 
 ceses in which they are siy.iated, and for which primarily 
 they minister. It also invites endowments for their equip- 
 ment, and is a guarantee for the proper application of such 
 endowments for the centuries to come. 
 
 We are thus brought face to face with a very great 
 responsibility, and a very practical question :' How cart 
 this Cathedral be used to promote the glory of God and 
 the good of man? It 'may be so used, in various ways ; 
 a' few of which I shall now bring before you. 
 
 ,(i.) First, the Cathedral should be a centre of unity 
 in the diocese. 
 
 Besides the ordiifii'^^^i limited parish with cure of souls 
 attached to the Cathedral, there is also attached to it the 
 Bishop's parish, payocliia, which is the original name of 
 the whole diocese. As Dean "Houk points out, •' the 
 /^Cathedral Church is the parish church of the whole 
 diocese," so much so that persons attending tlie Catliedral 
 services 'are esteemed in ecclesia^tical law to be attending 
 *' the Parish church," wherever they reside. And by 
 being enthroned in the Cathedral, the Bishop takes pos- 
 session of his parochia, or diocese. As the ministrations 
 of an ordinary parish church are intended to promote 
 reconciliation, "love and charity," in its own parish, such 
 should also the influence of the Cathedral be in the 
 larger sphere of the diocese. 
 
 ~ The Cathedral -is, moreover, '• the Mother Church " of 
 -the diocese. This was in ancient times the loving name 
 most often given to cathedrals, " The Mother Church." 
 A true mother is a bond of family unity as long as she 
 lives. And'the " Mother Church' should have a mother's 
 loving heart for all the daughter churches, however inde- 
 pendent and divergent their courses may be. The 
 Cathedral and its administrators must not be narrow or 
 partisan, must not mix themselves up in the small strifes 
 and jealousies of ecclesiastical faction s. " The Cathedral,''

 jurisdiction Over thcdau^hter churches, but can aid them 
 in proniotinjr God's glory in many ways; and '"the 
 greatest of these is love." ^ 
 
 \ (in) Further, a cathedral ought to be for th« whole 
 dioc^ese a model of correcLtand beautiful sacred archi- 
 tecture, a worthy pattern f<©hurch builders, a true ••'type 
 of the spiritual Church which God has reared." • , _ 
 
 But it may be objected, How can mere artglorify God? 
 Wha^-pan cold beauty of fo/m have to do with worship, 
 "the golden chnin which lifts us to God?" I ansvyer, 
 that sacred architecture, if really correct and beautiful, 
 has a'powerful ('fU-ct. especially upon refined and cultured 
 minds ; it elevates and purifies and solemnizes the 
 thoughts; It suggests ideas of tht eternity, the majesty,- 
 the omnipotence, the presence and glory of God ; and 
 thus trie art becomes th(* handmaid of worship. And, 
 therefore, by direct creation in the brightvvorld above, 
 and by implanting the instincts of true art in men's 
 hearts here below, God Himself has from the beginning 
 impressed wondrous beauty upon all true worship in 
 heaven and on earth. True Worship, by a universal law , 
 seeks to express and sustain itself by chaste and noble 
 
 forms of beauty. 
 
 The Canadian Church Year Book, 1892, describes 
 ' •< Christ Church Cathedral, Montreal." as " unquestion- 
 ably the most beautiful specimen of Gothic architecture 
 in Canada, if not on the continent." The ladies of another 
 dioces«' who attended the meeting of Provincial Synod 
 here last month, have published an expression of their 
 kind api)reciation —of the service held in Canada's most 
 beautiful Cathedral", And experts in ecclesiastical archi- 
 tecture constantly remind us that this. Cathedral is 
 unsurpassed in purity of ta.ste and correctness of style. , 
 It is a priceless heritage. If the people of this city and 
 diocese lost it. they would discover, when too late, that 
 the utter neglect of such a Cathedral is a grave mis- 
 take. An>l yet this sacred and precious work of art would 
 not have bofen standing to-day, il it had not been for the

 devoted and unaided efforts of this one congregation, 
 especially during the past ei|jht years. The greatest 
 bishops in En.i,'land are never weary of pointing out how 
 rapidly the finest churches fall to' pieces if they are 
 nej^lected. We want in this Cathedral what they have in 
 so many churches at home, — an endowment whose inter-* 
 est shall be applicable to the repair of the fabric and to no 
 other, purpose. Surely, to maintain such a sanctuary as 
 this, and to hand it down to future aqfes vitalized and 
 equipped for it^ noble ministry, is a work for the glory of 
 God and the good of man. ° 
 
 (lii.).3\) maintain a Model Service in the centre of 
 the diocese has always been regarded as one of the most 
 important duties of a Cathedral Church. Some of the 
 ordinary parish churches will often, it is hoped, in favora- 
 ble periods of their his.tory, maintain services equal iri 
 excellence to those tuf. the Cathedral. Hut centuries of 
 experience have proved that the fortunes of parish 
 churches, and their ability to maintain good services, 
 are continually varying. And. therefore, the Anglican 
 Church has, for a thousand years, aimed at making her 
 Cathedral services permanent Models of the most perfect 
 and beautiful Worship that can ber had. Precious as the 
 fabric of a beautiful Cathedral is. it is but the setting of 
 the jewel; the worship is the jewel itself. The learned 
 Archdeacon Freeman, a gi'eat' authority on the history 
 and work 4if Cathedrals, says that the well-known 
 '• Cathedral service is simply divine service done in the 
 best and most solemn way. a wayvAvhicli other churches 
 may not always be able to follow in everything, but which 
 they shovild try to follow as nearly ;is they can." And 
 he reminds the Cathedral clergy that it is their duty "to 
 keep up the Cathedral Church as the model and example 
 for the whole diocese." The present Archbishop of 
 Canterbui^' usecl t'ne following words in . Canterbury 
 Cathedral: 'Under these arches, therefore, where the 
 echoes seem never to be quite silent of that music which 
 the English Church, alone for all, has for centuries poured 
 out from her Cathedrals, in her infinite strains of chant 
 and anthem, I shall confine myself to a few words only 
 on the Cathedral as a School of Sacred Service." And

 You are aware that soon aft (m- we introduced a proper 
 Cathedral Service in this Cathedral, other churches, in 
 quick succession, bejLjan to f(^llow the jijood example set 
 hgrei. In another work Archbishop Benson reminds us 
 tlS a Cathedral should maintain ceaseless daily services 
 pf^ the mosit perfect kin^ po^isible. The worship of the 
 diocese is regarded as cenlerinjr in the Cathiedral worship, 
 " where it rises like a periKlual fountain—the ceaseless 
 supplication for s^race, the perpetual intercession; the 
 endless praise— unbroken, yet ever new —like Nature 
 herself, with daily varying, never-changing majesty." 
 
 As the crown and glorious bloom of Provincial, Dio- 
 cesan and Cathedral worship, I would refer to great Cathe- 
 .dral functions, synod services, consecrations of bishops, . 
 ordinations, public thanksgivings and fasts, and the Ijke. 
 Those who were present in this Cathedral at the memorial 
 service for the late Duke of Clarence, last January, or' at 
 our recent Provincial Sjnod service, or at the consecration 
 ofthe Bishop of Quebec, will understand what I mean 
 by great Cathedral funeious, and^ will require no words 
 of mine to explain how essential *such functions are for 
 tl>e.'full expression of the devotional life of a Christian > 
 country. One of the ' greatest cathedral administrators 
 of this century, Ur.ilarvey, Goodwill, Dean of Ely 
 (afterwards IJishop of Carlisle), has left us a heart-stirring 
 description of his work in Ely Cathedral. He loved 
 every stone in the building. He was constantly watch- 
 ing the fabric and promoting its repair and adornment. 
 He was as constantly promotin^^- the improvement of 
 the services which were his soul's delight. He labored -^^^ 
 ceaselessly to niak\; (;very great cathedral function a 
 great and permanent blessing to all present. His lov- 
 ing sympathy for young men, and a-^xunful recollection 
 of the hurried and slovenly service at 'which he was 
 ordained a priest, made him especially throw all his 
 great soul into ordination services. '* The Jist canon," 
 he says, ''enjoins that the Bishop shall, ordain in the 
 Cathedral or parish church where the Bishop resideth." 
 
 ^' This recognizes the Cathedral as the proper place for

 ordinations. No parts of my duties af? Dean received ^ 
 at my hands more careful attention than this; it seemed 
 to me so important that every arrangement should 
 approach perfection as near as might be, that every tone 
 of the organ, and every note sung by the choir, and every 
 ^ movement from beginning to end of the service should 
 be exactly what the most scrupulous taste could demand, 
 that there should be no jar. nothing to offend,^ nothing to 
 leave an unpleasant remei*brance ; but that the souls of 
 young priests and deacons should be (as it were) drawn 
 up from earth to heaven by every little aid which could 
 be given to the great service of the day." ^ 
 
 # I need hardly tell you that no great and successful 
 "^Cathedrar function can be suddenly extemporized from 
 the beginning. To be really s'weet, impressive, devo- 
 tional, and free from fuss and effort, the function must be 
 built upon a long established and strong Cathedral ser- 
 vice as its foundation., With this foundation well laid, it is 
 easy to rise to the festal heights of great functions when 
 
 occasion requires. , „ . . . 
 
 ' For the proper rendering of a Cathedral Service, it is 
 absolutely essential to have , an organ which is really 
 sweet and devotional in tone. In this respect Chnst 
 Church Cathedral possesses a unique advantage. It 
 appears that when the old Cathedral was built. King 
 George III, who g.lve the site, and took a great interest 
 in the church, instructed Messrs. Hill & Son, the eminent 
 firm of organ builders in London, to place in the church, 
 as a personal present from His Majesty, the best organ 
 that could be made for such a building. " The Kings. 
 .Organ"at once became famous. And when^the church 
 ' and organ were destroyed by fire, and the congregation 
 built the present Cathedral, they instructed Messrs. Hill 
 
 ^ & Son to reproduce " the- King s Organ," of which com- 
 plete plans and specifications had been carefully pre- 
 served. I receive letters from every piirt of this con- 
 
 ^ tinent from tourists \yho notice the excellence of our 
 Orgaa and desire information respecting it. Further, for 
 the purposes of musical. 'sour.d, the faljric of this Cathe- 
 dral has been planned with such complete success, that 
 I believe? its acoustic properties, tor tcansmitting and 
 mellowing sacred music, are equalled by few, and sur-

 passed by none, of the famous sanctuaries of the Old 
 Country. 
 
 Alongside tliese immense advantages for maintaining 
 a perfect Cathedral service, 1 must place the counter- 
 balancing disadvantage tiiat we have no endowment for 
 our choir. An authority on Cathedral matters, Mr. 
 Beresford Hope, says : " It is of course imppssible to 
 carry on a Cathedral service without ^a back-bone of 
 paid choirmen." Able and devoted as our choir is, the 
 absence of an endowment for this purpose disables us 
 all the time. Large endowments are being constantly 
 given by our wealthy citizens for all manner of great and 
 noble objects, except the- greatest and n<>blest of all — 
 the mai^ntenance of a really bemitiful and perfect Cathe- 
 dral service in our city. The day is certainly coming 
 when the reproach of this neglect of tlie highest wor- 
 ship of God will be removed, and when endowments, 
 like those in the Motherland, shall be given for the main- . 
 tenance of a strong band of leading singej-s in our Cathe* 
 dral choir 
 
 (iv.) Then, and not till then, will cJtir Cathedral be 
 a"ble to efficiently perform- another great work for the 
 'glory of God and the good of man : I refer to the direct 
 missionary work which the great Cathedrals in England 
 are now doing, and which this Cathedral ought tq do in 
 the midsummer months. Then the English cities are 
 " empty," like our own city at that time of year, and the 
 Cathedrals are full— filled vvith the contents of all the, 
 hotels for 20 or 30 miles round— filled with congrega-. 
 tions of tourists, representing the intelligence and culture 
 of ■ every Christian denomination and of every Heathen 
 religion under thd sun On the last occasion that I 
 worshipped in'.Si. Pauls Cathedral, a negro gentleman 
 sat at my. right, a Japanese (as I judged) at my left, a 
 Hindoo in native costume before me, and all around 
 there was literally a world-congregation— the merchants, 
 the learned, the polislved, the governing classes of all 
 lands and religions, who are just the classes least ac- 
 cessible to missionaries in their own countries. Scarce 
 any of these tourists would go to ordinary parish 
 
 churches, where the choirs and services are known to be 
 weak in hiidsummer ; but they flock to cathedrals where 
 
'•W^f 
 
 tl 
 
 Sermon /. 
 
 a noble service is assured ; ancf they return to tlieir own 
 countries deeply impressed and instructed by ihe pure 
 and elevating worship in which theiy have joinpd. In 
 this way the cathedrals are doin^^ a direct ini^.ionary 
 ,. and evangelistic work, hardly second in importance to 
 that of the great missionary societies. Our own Cathe- 
 dral has a magnificent opportunity kr this kind of work. 
 In the midsummer months, up and down the deep and 
 ,i wide St. Lawrence, and alonj^ the great railway lines, 
 
 ' ^y streams of tourists are in ceaseless motion night jind 
 
 day— coming, for business or pleasure, Westward from 
 Europe, Eastward from Australia and Asia* and from 
 every part of^this continent— always meeting in our city 
 and crowding our hotels— always with human hearts,- 
 and often longing to worship the Most High, if only we 
 can provide for them in this Cathedral a magnificent and 
 solemn worship, such as Christian piety has provided 
 / in the cathedrals of other lands. Australia has already 
 
 moved in this matter. -America has b^un the same work 
 in earnest. It will not do .for Canada to be left behind. 
 And nowhere in Canada is there such an opportunity as 
 in Christ Church Cathedral, Montreal. May the Divine 
 ^ Spirit of light and love inspire many to co-operate in this 
 noble work for the glory of God and the good of man.

 On a recent occasion I brought before you the subject 
 of Cathedral Churches, with special refererfce to thfe 
 responsibilijties and equipment of the Cathedral in which 
 ' we worshiri. And I now proceed to emphasize and to 
 supplement what I then said. 
 
 (i.) Fir^t, then, it is often asked : "What is a Cathe- 
 dral Church ?" Fronv apostolic times, bishops, like uni- 
 versity professors, judj^es and other high officials, have 
 had officisil seats or chairs. The Greek word Cathedra 
 means a \seat (Latin, i<i:</(e^, i. e.,;*^^;; and therefore the 
 episcopal chair was described as the bishop's Cathedra. 
 Eusebius in the fourth century tells us that the official' 
 seat of St. James, the first Bishop of Jerusalem, was still 
 preserved there ;. St. Mark's chair was also longf preserved 
 at Alexandria. Several very ancient episcopal seats are 
 still in existence, notably the Chair of St. Aujjustine 
 in Canterbury Cathedral. A Cathedral Church is a 
 church Jn which the Official S&At, t\\G. Cdlhedray of the 
 Bishop of the Diocese, and of his .successors , in office, 
 |has been fixed by competent authority. ** 
 
 The donors of episcopal endowments and others who 
 
 )romofe the formatioi} of a 'new diocese may stipulate 
 
 )r request that the principal town in the district shall be 
 
 laised to the rank of a city, and that t'le parochial Mother 
 
 -hurch shall receive the Cathedral title aiidditrnity, by 
 
 iving the ■ Bishop' f?Ca///^flf;'rt fixed in it.. Such requests 
 a|e usually gfranted. In this way the parochial Mother 
 
 lurches of Manchester, Newcastle, Southwell, St. 
 
 Albans, and several other towns in England, have 
 
 
 
• i 
 
 14 
 
 Sermon //. 
 
 been raised to the permanent Cathedral dignity, and the 
 towns themselves to the rank of cities, within the past 
 half century. ^The same thing occurred in Montreal. In 
 1850 Royal Letters Patent were issued, erecting the 
 town and district of Montreal into a new diocese, making 
 it independent of the Bishop of Quebec, appointing Dr. 
 Fulford as the first Bishop of Montreal, ordaining that 
 " the said town of Montreal shall henceforth' be a 
 City," and further ordaining and declaring " that the 
 Parish Church, called Christ Church, in the said City of 
 Montreal, shall henceforth be the Cathedral Church 
 and the See of the said Bishop of Montreal and of his 
 successors." 
 
 Cathedrals have had various histories, and conse- 
 quently have various constitutions and forms of govern- 
 ment ; and many cathedrals have, and many have ceased 
 tp have, ordinary parishes attached to them: but all 
 cathedrals have this in common, that they possess the 
 episcopal Cathedra, 
 
 All AngUcan Cathedrals are supposed to maintain 
 what is known as a " Cathedral Service." The Church 
 of England " Cathedral Service " has long been noted 
 as the finrest in Christendom. Some of the greatest 
 authorities in other communions, including the Roman 
 Catholic, have freely owned, that they have nothing quite 
 equal to the English " Cathedral Service " in dignity^ 
 sweetness and wealth of devotional expression. . 
 
 Tlve utility of cathedrals was never more apparent 
 , than now. Old cathedrals are being renovated at great 
 cost, and new cathedrals "are springing up rapidly in the 
 Mother Countries and all over the world. 
 
 (n.) In 1856, Christ Church Cathedral was burned 
 down, and had to be rebuilt. Knowing the difficulty of 
 dealing with church debts, many of the congregation 
 contemiilated building a nevi^ cathedral of very moderate 
 dimensions and cost, suitable to the requirements of thre 
 •parish. On the other h^nd, Bishop Fulford strongly 
 urged the necessity of erecting a really spacious and 
 beautiful church, capable of worthily performing its dio- 
 ce sa n a nd other 'cS t the d ral funct i ons; a nd he confidently 
 
 i- 
 
 » .!■ 
 
 *£- 
 
 €x]^"ressed the hope that he would be able to raise, from 
 sources external to the congregation^ a very large portion

 of the entire expenditure, ifhc Cathedral authorities and 
 congregation followed the Bishop's advice, and shouldered 
 the whole of the financial responsibility ; and accordingly 
 the present beautiful Cathedral and Parish Church was 
 speedily erected, and was <)pened in 1859. The need of 
 an Anglican " Cathedral Service " in this city was then 
 felt by many ; and the nevr Cathedral, which was planned 
 with a special view to supplying this need, is unsurpassed 
 in its adaptation for the purpose. Hut the hopes of 
 receiving large external financial aid were disappointed. 
 Under five per cent, of the cost was contributed by 
 Bishop Fulfortl's friends in England ;^and beyond this, 
 no otner assistance was obtained. Thus the new Cathe- 
 dral Church, of whicl'i so much was expected, was not 
 only left wholly unendowed, but loaded with debt; and 
 the congregation was obliged to struggle as best it could 
 through a sea of difficulties. Noble generosity on the 
 part of the congregation saved the church front the 
 auctioneer's hammer; but nothing could save it from a;, 
 Series of extreme measures for retrenchment of outlay^ 
 and for raising money, or from the diversities of opiniorl,:^ 
 heart-burnings and other disastrous consequences whicli" 
 such measures too often produce. Finjlly, all thought of 
 maintaining a " Cathoclnil Scrvico" was abjindoncd. 
 
 Had thu Cathedral been gi^^en a lair sUit at the 
 bcginninor— free from debt, with a full " Cathedral 
 Service/ and with an adequate endowment, at least for 
 a proper cafhedral clioir-none of the greater troubles 
 which afterwards arose could have occurred, and the 
 Cathedral would long sines have repaid the Diocese of 
 Montreal, and the whole Church in Canada, a hundred- 
 fold. The Archbishop of Canterbury draws attention to 
 the true cause of cathedral weakness in the colonies, and 
 endorses the pointed words of the Bishop of Bolemfontein 
 in South Africa on this su^fct : " The most enfeebling 
 influence in colonial ^hi|||p life is felt jjfcbe a selfish 
 Congregationalism.", 
 
 Meanwhile, in Montreal, many Church of England 
 people, as also members of otl\er communions, were 
 greatly disappointed, and were loud in their complaints, 
 
 for many years, that the city had a beautiful and 
 spacious Cathedral church, but not a '* Cathedral Service,"

 and that their guests from a distance, and. lovers of sacred 
 music, could only gnitify tiieir taste for a high order of 
 choral worship by going to the French Roman Catholic 
 churches. '1 his was felt to be an anomalous state of 
 things , and accordingly during tlic i)asl few years ceasc^ 
 less efforts have been made to restore and beautify Christ 
 Church Cathedral, to clear it of debt, and to niamtain ifi 
 it a true and reverent *' Oiihedral S'^rvice." ThrougTi 
 God's blessing these elTorts in a good cause have beenr;so 
 successful that it is hoped the services of this church v»?ill 
 henceforth receive a wide and generous support. T^e 
 great and good Bishop Liglufoot has w^l said th^t 
 " History is an excellent cordial for>Jroopmg courage^' 
 The by-gone difficulties of ilHs/Cathedral were exceeded , 
 by the calamities which in ancient times, and also after theV 
 Reformation, befell some of those cathedrals which are \ 
 now our .modfil$,.e,nshnned in the affecti^^^^ of all. 
 
 (in.) It now remains for me to lay before you a few 
 facts on the subject of cathedral maintenance. ■ , 
 
 In ancient times, when a cathedral was erected for 
 diocesan-or national functions, and as the home of a mag-, 
 nificent model-worship, it was well understood that the 
 cost of building such a cinirch, and maintaining its fabric 
 and services, could not \i\\\\ fairness be imposed upon the 
 local congregation worshipping in it. But tlie Christiail 
 Churlsh inuhostf day^had no idea of building tillbautiful 
 sanctuaries for the glory of God in all time, and then 
 leaving fhem unused, or allowing them to fall to pieces, 
 through want of resources. Cathedrals were, therefore, 
 piously endowed from the beginning. But the endow- 
 ments were, at first, often inadequate ; and to meet the 
 deficiency various sources of revenue from the dioceses 
 were provided, including " the CathedraticUm," an assess- 
 ment which Chancellor Cripps (a high legal authority) 
 tells us was" paid in hoTror-of the cathedral churcKJl'by 
 every parochial minister withih the diocese." 
 
 Further, I mentioned on a former occasion that by 
 being enthroned in the Cathedral, the Bishop is put in 
 possession of his parochia^ or diocese, of which the cathe- 
 dral is by law ^* the parish church." Here, again, the 
 Church shows its care for the support and well-being of 
 cathedrals, by enlisting (in their behalf the al ways-power^ 
 
 I .

 ful influence of the bishops. IJcfore any bishop is 
 enthroned, and as a preliminary fwrt of the Enthrone- 
 ment Service, he is required to take- the " Oath to 
 defend thcrijjhts and priviJe^H's of the catlicdral." In this 
 Enthronement Oatii (I co^y from the translation used at 
 the enthronement of the successive Bishops of Montreal 
 in Christ Church Cathedral), the bishof) not only pled^'es 
 himself in detail to do all that the title of the oath 
 expresses, but he also concludes by promising further 
 that he will never iist; his influence, in things lawful. — 
 against the Cathedral, but always for its advantage and 
 ■honor: \ ..\ ."A 
 
 " OATH TO DEKKNI) TlIK RIGHTS AND PRIVILKOKS OF TIIK 
 
 XATUF.DKAL." y 
 
 "I,— ^, having been appointed and consecrated 
 
 Bishop of this See of Montreal, do solemnly swear on the 
 Holy Evangelists of Almighty God, that, as far as in mt! 
 lies, I will well and truly direct and jifovcrti this Oirisi 
 Church, tl^e Cathedral Church of the Diocese of 
 Montreal, according to the rulesyand ordinances thereof; 
 and the property, rents, issue^nd profits, rights, priv- 
 ileges, and liberties thereof, and generally all things 
 movalile and immovable, thereunto belon<»ing, I will well 
 and faithfully keep, defend, and preserve, acc<>rding to 
 the laws and regulations of the said Church, and cause by 
 others 10 be kept, defended and preserved ; and tlie rules 
 and ordinances of this Church by our Sovi reiyn l.adv 
 the Queen enacted, in what relates to me, 1 will well and 
 truly observe, and cause to be diligently observed by 
 others; and I will not knowingly prcvt^nl or impede 
 anything which may be lawfully done for the advantage 
 ' and hoftor of this Cathedral Church, but both will study 
 to promote. So help mf\ God." 
 
 Many great and holy bishop.s have distinguished their : 
 Episcopates by great services rendered to the cathedral • 
 churches of their dioceses. v-^- 
 
 In England, the property of the ancient cathedrals has 
 so largely increased in value that the parochial assess- 
 mcntsoind oth e r charges towards their maintenance have — 
 
 . ■:-# 
 
 long since " fallen into disuse." Frequendy, however,

 At the jreneral Easter Vestry Mcetinj^ of Christ Church 
 Cathedral, 1892, the question of endowments was fully 
 discussed, and the foUowinj; resolution was passed unani- 
 mously : — . ■ • 
 
 "Whereas cathedrals and other cluirclics in ICnjjIrtnd have 
 been maintnifm-il for centuries in Rood condition and efTicieticy 
 by endow incnt.H for the maintenance of the fabric, choir and 
 >iifcclerical start . and whereas It is expedient to preserve in like 
 manner our own beautiful cathedral alid parish church: . 
 Resolved, that the Wardens be advised tp print, with their 
 report, forms of bequest for this purpose." 
 
 Other cathedral objects besides those named in the 
 above resolution mij^ht be su«rjrested— as, for example, 
 there shoiiltf be endowed stalls here for certain diocesan 
 officers; bin I will now confine myself to the first two 
 objects mentioned by the vestry —viz. :i, the preserva* 
 tion of the fabric; and 2, the maintenance of the choir — 
 as the.se are, under prestint circumstances, the primary 
 and most vital needs of the church. ■ ' 
 
 J. As to the fabric. '* Streiigth and beauty are in His 
 
 Sanctuary." But our lovely Diocesan Sanctuary must 
 
 not be neglected. We know how it has been imperilled 
 
 recently. The oresent- fabric of Christ

 Cathedral is <>f priceless value. Millions of dollars have 
 been expended upon this continent in buildin«r ^reat 
 churches ; Und, in general, with most disappointing re-

 suits., owing mainly to the omhiprecent demand for abol- 
 ishing or attenuating pillars, in order that every pew may 
 be " marketable." Costly and ornate churches are con- 
 stantly springing up, whose debased architectural and 
 musical adaptations are impediments to worship. If 
 Christ Church Cathedral were allowed to perish, there 
 would be no certainty that Montreal would ever see its 
 like again. "A thing of beauty is a joy for ever." 
 « Destroy it not, for a blessing is in it." A very moder- 
 ate endowment, whose mcpme would be applicable to 
 the restoration expenses, and to no other purpose^ would 
 probably preserve this beautiful church for many cen- 
 turies ; and it is worth preserving. .. 
 
 (2.) Then as to the choir. We all feel how much the 
 marked improvement in the services of thi^ church is due 
 to the zeal and devotion of the choir.. But the choir needs 
 assistance.on a far more generous scale than has been 
 possible heretofore. Without this, a really perfect 
 '' Cathedral Service," which must always include not 
 jonly the stateliness and magnificence of a dignified cere- 
 monial, but also the most skillful execution of music in its 
 highest forms, cannot be steadily and permanently main- 
 tained The service must in dignity and perfection of 
 art bear a true proportion to the Church. Music which 
 would seem very exceUent in a village church would fail- 
 here. The extent, and the sublimity, and the classic 
 purity of the architect's work, so powerfully uplift and 
 inspire the mind, thiait we feel the need of a service which ^ 
 will be like the soul in the body, a worthy companion of / 
 
 . the fabric aroundXis, a service full of majesty, strength,/ 
 sweetness, reverence, beauty. Never before have such 
 services been so appreciated as now ; never before have 
 cathedrals ha'd such opportunities for usefulnefss, through 
 the unexampled increase in the facilities for travelling, by 
 
 ^ which thousands of representatives* of all nations are 
 brought to our cathedral doors. The call for the ntain- 
 tenance of a rfeally fine cathedral service, for tiie wo^-sliip 
 and glory of Godwin Mpntreal, has long been heard; and 
 is growing louder and more urgen| every year, now that 
 our city, so rapidly increasing in material beauty, wealth 
 and influence, has become a world-meeting-place and r

 at 
 
 centfe of . traffic. Our cathedral, if only It were ade- 
 quately equipped for its hij^h and holy wor^, has a glo- 
 rious future before it, as a '^ house of prayer for all 
 peoples." Already a "Cathedral Service" has been 
 firmly established, and is loved and trusted ; already it 
 is an acknowiedcred power in" the land ; and that power 
 would be immediately multiplied tenfold, if there was an 
 adequate and stable provision for the maintenance of the 
 choir. May God bless this church and make it a bless- 
 ing for ever, and i:se it jto promote His glory. >' Cause 
 Thy face to shine upon Thy Sanctuary."
