Cathedral offering.

Dear editor,

I have read with special interest the story concerning All Saints Cathedral, Halifax (Diocese eyes renewal, Journal, May).

My parents, two brothers, and I moved from Montreal in 1916. We were there at the time of the Halifax Explosion. My father, A.G. Nicholls, had joined the staff of the medical faculty of Dalhousie University.

Father was a Methodist and mother was an Anglican. They were warmly urged to join All Saints Cathedral by the dean and did so.

As noted in the article, the eastern end of the cathedral was not in very good condition.

Several years later we returned to Montreal. Noting that the cathedral lacked many stained-glass windows on the north side, my brothers and I donated one.

It is the intention of my wife and I, who are 92 years old, to make a contribution to the anniversary of the cathedral.
