REt'TOR OF CHURCH AT
EXETER SAYS FAREWELL
The Rev, .T. J. Fenton, B.A, on
Sunday evening preached the final
sermon as rector of Trivitt Memorial
Anglican Church.
With references to the Church of
England as a whole, those things
that remained worth guarding, he
said, were, first, the church which
should not be allowed to be a sect
only. Second, a priesthood which
should not be made of mere pulpit
eers. Third, th? sacraments which
should not be neglected as they are
in some localities by 50 per cent, of
the congregation. Fourth, the Scrip
tures which too many neglect to learn. Fifth, the traditions of the
ages which more should live up to.
Indifferent Anglicans lacked the de
votion of Roman Catholics, the en
thusiasm of some Protestants and
the intelectual theology of others?
After a view of the brighter ^ide of
the situation, a strong appeal was
made to strengthen the things that
remain.
At the conclusion, Mr. Fenton,
who leaves/ to-day. hade all good
bye. Mr. Fenton came to Exeter
about a year ago from Southampton.
The wardens and a delegation of
members of the congregation of
Trivitt “Memorial Church will visit
Archbishop Williams to learn his
grace’s decision regarding a succes
sor to Mr. Fenton. It is probable
that his grace will make an appoint
ment at an early date after ascer
taining the wishes of the delegates.
