Archbishop Carrington, who is 52 years of age, is the son of a distinguished New Zealand churchman. He was ordained m Christchurch 26 years ago and served as an assistant-curate and later as a parish priest m that Diocese from 1918 to 1923. Dr. Carrington later moved to Adelaide m South Australia and from there went to Lennoxville University** as Dean of Divinity. In 1935 at the age of 42 years he succeeded the Right Rev. Lennox Williams as Bishop of Quebec and a few weeks ago was unanimously elected Metropolitan by his Brother Bishops m the Ecclesiastical Province of Canada m succession to the Most Rev. John Mackenley, of Nova Scotia, who passed to his rest a few months ago. His Grace who is recognised as an author of repute is a distinguished, member of a highly difted family: His advancement m the counsels of the Church has been as meteoric as his academic triumphs were outstanding. Dr. Carrington's father was for some years was principal of College House — a leading theological college m New Zealand and later was appointed Dean of Christchurch.
