The Right Rev . the Lord Bishop of Adelaide has for the past few weeks been staying in Yorkshire ( Bradford ) . For some years he has been Chaplain to Lodge Sfc .

parish work afc Bradford for the responsibilities of a colonial bishopric , he was undoubtedly one of the most eloquent and popular clergy men in the Wosfc Riding . His energies in Church work were well seconded by his then curate , the Rev . Rawdon Brigga—who stood six feefc high and was a fine cricketer—and to whom Sir Francis Sharp Powell , M . P ., afterwards presented the living . Ordained by
