CHURCH RITUAL.
ACTIOX BY VICAR-GEXERAL. MELBOURNE, December 21. Arieing from the alleged practice of High Church ritual at .St. John's Anglican Church, street, a serious cleavage has taken place between the congregation and the diocesan authorities. The Vicar-General. Archbishop Hindley, on several occasions has made it very clear that High Church ceremonials do not meet with his approbation. Members of the congregation, on learning of this, ranged themselves on the side of their minister. Rev. Cyril Barclay. Further developments occurred today, when Rev. Barclay arrived from the registrar of the diocese with a month's notice to quit the vicarage, no reasons being given, but an intimation that Rev. V. of Williamstown. • knenvn to many as "the fighting pareon," had been appointed to charge as locum tenens for the Vicar-General. The officers of the church are incensed at thie treatment, and propose to lead an urgent deputation to the VicarGeneral to diecuse the matter.
