SUSPENSION OF CANON
CHURCHMEN MUCH CONCERNED (Fes United Press Association.l NEW PLYMOUTH, April 16, Much concern is felt by the parishioners of the New Plymouth part of the Waikato diocese over Bishop Cherrington’s suspension of the Rev. F. T. Harvie as canon of the cathedral, and at a largely-attended meeting of the churchmen to-night considerable feeling was shown. The following motion was carried :
“That this meeting of the laity of New Plymouth, having learnt with deep concern of the bishop’s action in suspending the Rev. F. T. Harvic, late vicar of St. Mary’s, New Plymouth, from the exercise of clerical duteis within the diocese of Waikato, desires to ascertain from His Lordship wherein Mr Harvie has erred, as the confidence reposed in Mr Harvie _ through his vicariate locally renders impossible the view that such suspension is merited.” Archdeacon Evans', who supported the action of the bishop, intimated his intention of resigning his position as a result of the passing of the resolution.
