The youngest of 12 children, He travelled to Australia with the first Bishop of Newcastle and arrived in Sydney in January 1848. He was ordained deacon at St James', Morpeth in March of that year. He was sent to Brisbane to succeed Rev John Gregor. He returned to Morpeth to be ordained priest in 1849 and was then appointed incumbent on the Darling Downs. For the next 52 years, he left his mark on both Church and the community and was dubbed "Apostle of Queensland". Rev. Glennie travelled through the formative years of Queensland's history (sometimes on foot and sometimes on horseback) becoming the friend and confidant of many of the state's pioneers. He was a man of small stature and had a speech impediment but he appealed to bush people as a simple and direct preacher. The Queenslander (Brisbane) 5 May 1900 DEATH OF CANON GLENNIE. It was in no way a shock to Brisbane to learn on Wednesday that Canon Glennie had that morning passed peacefully away at the house in Wynnum where for the past eight months he had resided, under the loving care of Miss Gillett. It cannot be said that his death waa unexpected. For many years now the gaunt, bent old figure of the Grand Old Man of Queensland's Church of Eng land's ministers has reminded one that the Angel of Death is very near at times, and the feeling one has is almost one of glad ness that there was- "no moaning of the bar when he put out to sea," His end suited the last years of his life. For many years now his one-time familiar face and voice has been missed from the services at St. John's, and at the last even from the streets he had watched grow from mere bush tracks. For Canon Glennie had seen the colony blossom from the babe in arms to the full-grown daughter of the mother- land. Forty years he served his God as only a, true teacher of Christ's doctrine can serve it—giving free of his own, undergoing hardhips innumerable for the sake of the gospel, and working all his life to spread the truths that he was enjoined to. To those who only knew him in his later years, a few facts about his life are in dispensable before one can grasp the full significance of all he has done for the deep striking roots of religion in Queensland. Far back, when this century was still in its teens—to be exact, in 1812—Benjamin Glennie was born in Camberwell, London, the son of a principal in a school there. He was educated at King's College, London, of which tbe Right Rev. Lord Bishop Londs dale was then the dean. From there he went, in the natural course of events, to Christ's College, Cambridge, where in 1817 he took his B.A. degree. Next year he came out to Sydney, and was almost imme diately ordained deacon at Morpeth by Bishop Tyrrell, then Bishop of Newcastle, who likewise consecrated him priest in the following year (1849). He became incum bent of Moreton Bay (as the colony was then called) In 1848, and of Darling Downs in the same year. The former he dropped at the end of two years, the latter at the end of ten more—taking over charge of Warwick in 1860. Here he remained until 1872. Then followed Drayton (1872-76) and Toowong (1876- 77). In 1863 he was made an archdeacon of Brisbane, and became Examining Chaplain to the Bishop in 1875. Both of these positions he held until 1886, when, on the advent of Bishop Webber, he resigned, owing to advancing years, which rendered his duties rather too severe a tax upon his strength. He was then appointed the first honorary chaplain in connection with the newly-consecrated Cathedral of St. John. From that time he has lived in quite retirement, his gentle, kindly nature helping him to bear the knowledge that he had but to wait " until the day come and the shadows flee away." |
