In the " Hereford Diocesan published on Saturday , a public announcement Messenger , " regarding the Bishop of Hereford's impending retirement is made . Dr. Percival writes : - " As I am not equal to the performance of Dr. D. D. Gold , Dr. G. Steel , Alderman A. P. There were also present : Miss Krabbe , Mrs. G. E. Mines , Mrs. Gladstone , Mrs. C.

The Chairman said the explanation was that t ap- Since his appointment Dr. Percival has been much in the public eye , his speeches in the House of Lords championing various generally unpopular causes there , his opposition to Ritu- alism in his diocese , his invitation to Noncon- formists to Communion , and various other con- troversies exciting considerable comment . When the Archbishopric of York fell vacant the then Premier ( Mr. Asquith ) was bitterly at- tacked by the Liberal journals for not appoint- ing Dr. Percival to the position .

Eight applications were from other insured persons , one being granted treat- ment in sanatorium and seven domiciliary treatment with dispensary supervision . She said it would interest the Committee to know . something about the soldiers referred to in the report . It was rather unsatisfactory to know that two of them refused to go to sanatoria , but were having domiciliary treatment . They were not bad cases , and several were able to GOVERNOR OF GRAMMAR SCHOOL . The Magistrates reappointed Sir W. St. A.
