He was the author of several Theological works 

 and edited various books of chants and church 

 music. The church of St. John the Evangelist was 

 consecrated as the " Wainright Memorial." 



Dr. Wainright was elected a member of the So- 

 ciety in 1 82 1, was on the Charitable Committee 

 from 1838 to 1854, and proved a most zealous and 

 indefatigable worker, ready at all times to lend a 

 helping hand where needed and to lead where char- 

 ity pointed the way. He took a prominent part in 

 the establishment of the Anglo-American Free 

 Church of St. George the Martyr, acting as Secre- 

 tary at the preliminary meetings, and it was largely 

 through his influence and efforts that the valuable 

 grant of land was obtained from Trinity Parish for 

 the benefit of the British emigrants. Nor did his 

 interest in the Society languish after his elevation 

 to the Episcopacy, for the minutes record the active 

 part he took in the services held upon various occa- 

 sions in Trinity Church upon St. George's Day. 



REV. FRANCIS L. HAWKS 



Was elected a member of the Society in 1836; 

 was its first formally elected Chaplain and held this 

 office until 1843. He was thrice elected to the Epis- 

 copacy, but each time declined the office.
