Hi, Christ Church is the oldest Anglican Church on its original site. It was opened in 1847 athough subscriptions were sought from 1841. The first clergyman was Rev Ebenezer Collins from London who arrived with his new wife in March 1846. It was similar to an English village church with the land owners sitting at the front and the towns people at the back. A school house was completed in 1844 and by 1849 there were 180 children on the roll. This was later demolished and a parish hall erected in its place. Source: Christ Church, Geelong 1843-1983 by James Grant. Regards Joy

I think that may be the same Bishop James Grant who is now the archivist for the Church of England Archives in Melbourne. Regards .....

I will contact the school. De Garis is a Channel Islands name and Mary's mother is buried there. Mottoes may have been used by more than one family I suppose. Her father was an irrigationist in the Mildura area and her brother Clement was also in this field as well as dried fruits, aviation and an author, before topping himself over some failed business dealings. One of her aunts married James Hardie of James Hardie Industries. But still nothing on the Credit Crusade, anyone?

Hi, I am wondering if the Credit Crusade is a movement related to something which was mentioned in a book I happened to be reading yesterday. There was an economic system called "Social Credit" proposed by Clifford Douglas after World War I. As I understand, it considered that many economic problems arose from interest payments on borrowings, and advocated a system (involving interest free loans for business, home ownership etc) which would have many of the social advantages of socialism, but without state ownership. It apparently caused a fair bit of interest between the wars. A quick google search on "social credit" douglas gave lots of hits.

A couple of comments re Mary Clementina De Garis - I maybe incorrect, but I seem to remember that Mary was educated at M.L.C., in Melbourne, possibly Dux of the School in her time ? Heather you could check with the school, if need be. The Rev. Stanley I. Weeks was a Methodist Minister. "Dum Spiro Spero" is the MacLennan Clan motto. Wonder how the De Garis family came to have such a motto. It is also printed over an archway inside the "Ercildoun" mansion near Burrumbeet, Victoria. Cheers......Wendy McLennan.

The following is quoted from "Markers and Memorials at the Geelong Hospital" by W.R. (Roy) Lang Cheers... Pat... A remarkable woman, Mary Clementina De Garis M.D.,B.S. 1881-1963 In the foyer of De Garis House at the Geelong Hospital there is a framed document with two medals attached. There are twenty lines in this curious statement. This is how it reads:- "In the name of His Majesty Peter I By the Will of God and the Will of the nation King of Serbia we Alexander successor to the throne upon the recommendation of our Minister of War do decorate with the Order of St. Sava 3rd class Miss Mary C De Garis Officer commanding the Scottish Women's Hospital at Ostrovo (3rd Field Surgical) having her free from paying the tax Our Minister of War may execute the UKAS 14th December 1918 Solonika, Signed Alexander Minister for War (General) Mih Rashitch LBrF3622. The faithfulness of this copy is herewith testified 29/9/1918 (signed) Lt. Colonel Vlad Y Skubitz" An "In Memoriam" Card declared her to be the Daughter of Elisha C. (an irrigationist) and Elizabeth (Buncle) De Garis. Sister of her twin, Elizabeth Florence Alexander and of L.G. De Garis, Auntie Doc to nephews, nieces, cousins and in-laws. Sister of the late C.J., Lilian and A.E. De Garis. With appreciation of the presence of Miss Ann Tovell at the critical moment; of Mrs L. Schouter, the friendly neighbor in the crisis; of Dr. Agar in prompt attendance; of Messrs. Hargreaves, in professional manners; and of Rev. Stanley I. Weeks in administering spiritual power. Recipricol good will to Baxter House, Kardinia House, and the Geelong & District Kitchener Memorial Hospital. She was born at Charlton, Victoria on 16th December 1881 and died at Geelong on 18th November, 1963. She was "faithful in her day and generation". She practised her profession 1905-1963. Her World War I service was in England, and with the Scottish Women's Hospitals: 1916-1918 She came to Geelong in 1919 and practised from "Gable House" 258 Latrobe Terrace, Newtown, Geelong from 1922 to 1963. Her brother L.G. De Garis recalled her as sister, colleague, and encourager; "for more than thirty years the chief encourager of the Credit Crusade, expressly desiring its continuance, for a new theory of money as the alternative to debt and war. Dr. Mary De Garis was Honorary Medical Officer in charge of the Maternity Ward in the 1931-1932 year and resigned in 1940-41, when she became an Honorary Consultant Medical Officer of the Hospital. She was concerned about the right of women and it is interesting to note that during her service in the Scottish Women's Hospital at Ostravo Dr. Mary De Garis worked with orderly Stella Miles Franklin, author of "My Brilliant Career," (1901), "All That Swagger," (1936) and ten other novels. There was a Nightingale touch about this group of women. Dr Mary's writings included "Clinical Notes and Deductions of a Peripatetic," (London, 1925) and "The History of Obstetrics" (London, 1930), and her important functional study of child bearing was of high professional value. She believed that "What we do depends upon on what we think." The De Garis family motto "Dum spiro spero" suggests that while there is life there is hope.
