NO SUNDAY SCHOOL
St. Gabriel's Sunday School* East Ham, was closed recently by order of the vicar (the Rev. Cecil Clark) and as the children trooped out for the last time the superintendent (Mt> I* Minchin) stood at the door shaking hands. The school is to be replied by a Catechism service in the church. Mr. Clark told a representative of the "Daily Telegraph and Morning Post": "As a child I hated being x>rced to attend Sunday school. Surely the children have enough of- school during the week. Sunday schools have been closed all over the country in preference for the Catechism service, and this is the third for which I have been responsible. I closed schools at Elthani, S.E., and Cranford, Middlesex." Some of the parents, alleging that Mr, Clark > is Catholicising the church* are to , organise a/petition to the Bishop Of Chelmsford (Dr. H. A. Wilson).
