place. and the willingness to be humble. I think it was Dr. Vroom who said that the word "humble" comes from "humus", meaning "earth". the willingness to be used like the earth is used. and even abused. When they get abused. or used. they want to give up and take something that offers more security, that is not going to have abuse as part ofit. But when you are dealing with human beings. whether you are a schoolteacher, lawyer. or social worker. you are going to have to deal with abuse. and the sins ot‘mankind.

ST. MARK'S CHURCH, HALIFAX

Father Tammi at the latent ()fSI. Mark’s Church, Halifax.

In 1958 the Bishop asked me it‘l would go to St. Mark's in Halifax, and in April l went. It wasn't my first experience in that end of the city. In 1937 I worked for a year with Dr. Cunningham at the round church. St. George's. as a student. Dr. Cunningham was a tremendous man. a man of‘grcat capacity. one who inspired you to do great things because he was so loveable. so sincere. so devoted. Somehow or other priests like Dr. Cunningham. and the others I have mentioned. got something in their training and upbringing that made them love our Lord in His Church. They found the Church a vehicle to express the love they had for our Lord. I don't know if we have lost that today; but if we have l hope we can soon regain it.
