MELANESIAN MISSION.
THE ASSISTANT BISHOP. LONDON, Sept. 9. The Rev. Frederick Meiivale Molyneux, M.A., vicar of High Wycombe, Bucks, since 1920, has been appointee* Assistant Bishop of. Melanesia. Educated at Keble College, Oxford, Air. Molyneux was ordained in 1909 to the curacy of All Saints’, Leeds, and was chaplain to Cuddesdon College, Oxon, from 1913-20. He served in Mesopotamia as chaplain to the forces from 1916-19, was mentioned in despatches and awarded the M.B.E in 1918.
While vicar of High Wycombe, the largest ecclesiastical parish in Buckinghamshire, he has taken an active part in two extensive schemes recently initiated —the restoration of the ancient tower of the parish church and the provision of the new sister church in the Wycombe Marsh district. It is expected that Mr. Molyneux will leave for New Zealand next June, and it is hoped that he will be able to 'take with him a band of recruits for work in the islands of the south-west Pacific under the Melanesian Mission.
