Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Address Delivered by the Most Rev. The Metropolitan of Rupert's Land, Primate of All Canada, to the General Synod of the Church of England in Canada: Assembled in the Seventh Session at Trinity College, Toronto, September 15th, 1915
The House of Delegates will doubtless make fitting reference to the losses in its ranks durin the past four years, but I am sure that the whole Synod will pardgon a brief reference by its President tothepassingofoneofthemembersofthat House. Lrefertothe death of the Hon. S. H. Blake, who for over half a century had been an outstanding figure in the councils of the Church in Canada. He was a man of commanding intellect, of a wonderfully alert mind and of singularl magnet1c speech. His ideas and convic tions were fixed, not uid, and he clung to them with an almost ferocious intensity and untiring tenacity. Though there were points upon which many of us differed from him profoundly. Yet we could not help admiring his great brilliance and his solid virtues. From the inception of the General Synod he took a keen interest in all its doings, and did much towards the shaping of its legislation. To say that we shall miss him at our meeting, is to say very little. We shall. Miss his scintillatinlgnuiit, his protagonism in upholding causes which he had at heart, �s loyalty to missionary enterprises, and above all, we shall miss the contagion of his earnestness and the uplift of his courage in undertaking great things for God and his Church.
