FENTON RESIGNS The following item in reference to ’the resignation of Rev. John J.

EXETER, Aug. 3.—The wardens ■of Trivitt Memorial Church,, of Exe- -ter, have received formal notice of. the resignation of Rev. John J. Fen ton, B.A., rector of the church since last December, his services to term-' inate within three months. Rev. John J. Fenton, during the heat of the election campaign, wrote two long letters to The London Ad vertiser, taking strenuous'exception to Hon. R. B. Bennett speaking at the Legion picnic held at Bayfield. In the town it is also rumored that Mr. Fenton made some very decided remarks about Mr. Bennett and the federal election campaign, showing decided and violent partisanship. ‘The members of his congregation •at Trivitt Memorial Church were very indignant at the part taken by stheir rector in refusing not only to •attend a Bennett meeting, but also jpassing remarks unfitting to his po sition as a rector. It is said that there were many members of the ■congregation who approached the •jnemfoers of the vestry to call a special meeting to deal with the matter and the rector said if 'the feeling of the members of the con gregation was such he would resign. With the decision in the hands of jfhe vestry it is claimed that the congregation made it so hot for the rector that he felt he had better band in his resignation before it ■was requested. One of the members of the con gregation is said to have 'declared 4.hat with regard to the political bias <of the rector that lie did not want a leopard or a wolf in sheep’s clothing .an rector of his church. This mem ber also stated that Mr. Fenton was decidedly outspoken throughout the campaign even before., the Legion, picnic addressed by Mr. Bennett, to ■which the rector took such decided -objection. »/ The ‘resignation is said to await the return of Archbishop Williams the .Diocese of Huron from his liolidays’ before it becomes effective. No successor was appointed at the .meeting of the wardens. SER-. FENTON’S REPLY 4«’ lent partisanship’ in ar, the struggle. Indeed, on which side my sym though several people gregation tried to sou where I stood. “Members of the may have been .indigna attending the Bennett Exeter, but that mee with the Legion picnic and as a member of the that my place was with the Legion- aires at Bayfield. “I have never, either in private conversation nor in public talk, pass ed remarks unfitting to my posi tion as rector. If that charge has any reference to the letters in The Advertiser any excessive use of lang uage about Mr. Bennett or Mr. At kinson that may have appeared in them has been withdrawn and apol ogized for. “I had intended for two or three months past to resign my charge here some time in the fall. “A far more serious matter is the statement attributed to a member of the congregation that I was decidedly outspoken throughout the campaign even before the Legion picnic ad dressed by Mr. Bennett. This founding. Many people tried to me out as to where I in politics, but I never gave any clear indication. They have suspected me of leanings to wards Liberalism, but that is all they could have done. Of ecurse, I am not responsible for what their imag ination might lead them to think. “I have no ambition to become either a leopard or a wolf in sheep’s clothing. “I am sorry that the church has been dragged into this discussion. It is not of my doing. I am not re sponsible for the headlines in the papers in which this subject has ben disccussed. And I have never in my church work done anything to indicate that I was favoring one or * other side in politics, My hands are absolutely clean in that matter. “'The matter originally concerned only the Canadian Legion, Mr. Ben nett, Dr. Atkinson and myself/. Now others have rushed in and made it very disagreeable business indeed.’ “(Signed) JOHN J.
