Memoriam.

WILFRID ALLPORT (August 30th, 1933). Psalm 23. Lesson : Revelation Ch. 7. vv. 9-17. Funeral March : Beethoven. Hymn : Abide with me. Versicles and Responses. Prayers and Collects. Hymn : Fight the good fight.

The Headmaster gave an address to the School.

" We know that all things work together for good to them that love God "—Rom. Ch. 8, v. 28.

We all were stunned and horrified by the terrible tragedy which occurred last holidays and deprived us of a great friend and one who loved this school well. Wilfrid Allport, whose memory we honour to-night, was a pupil of this school for five years. As you know, he rose to be head of the school,. Captain of cricket and hockey and Secretary of football, and attained the highest possible rank in the O.T.C. All lie did was marked by a deep sense of duty—even in the smallest matters he was careful that nothing which he did should in any way bring discredit to

the school. If he failed in any match, it was never a personal, disappointment which he felt, but anxiety lest he should havediscouraged the side. He never seemed to realise what an inspiration his untiring efforts had been to others. His quiet, unassuming nature and the absolute purity of his character have had an influence on the school and on many of you here, which it is impossible to gauge. After he left us for Cambridge, his interest in, and friendship for the school were unabated. Tragedies. like this—when a young and happy life is apparently wasted— make us perplexed and question God's. Providence. We cannot help wondering whether God is guiding human affairs to some good. To us the incidence of accidents seems so haphazard. Yet, although it is hard to realise—if we have real faith, there stands unchallenged the convictiOn, the heritage of countless ages, that the world and each being on the world serves a divine purpose. We may rest assured that spiritual values are of supreme concern and that human personality plays its special . part. Thus we may thank God for this short happy life so welt

spent.
