THE MILITARY CROSS.
REV. MATTHEW MTjI__LNETTX. r
The Rev. Matthew Mnllinenx, M.A., who has just received the Military Cross, passed through New Zealand two years ago. Mr. Mullineux gave up his position as chaplain to the Flying Angel Missions to Seamen in a port in America, and worked his -passage across to Now' Zealand in the stokehold of a mail boat. On 'arrival in Auckland he called on the missioner for the Flying Angel, and informed the latter that if he (Mr. Mullineux) could not get away to the front as a chaplain he would join the Medical Corps. Mr. Mullineux passed some required examinations in Wellington, and the latest accounts of his exploits come as no surprise to those who knew the Padre, as he is a firstclass all-round man. Mr. Mullineux was a famous footballer in his time, bein~ captain of an English team that visited Australia.
