SURPRISE FOR VICAR
DOESN’T KNOW WHAT HE WILL DO WITH LEGACY.
A legacy of £IO,OOO, free from duty, has been left to the Rev. Walter Ewart Bristow, vicar of St. Luke’s, Woodside, London, S.E., under the will of Miss Mary Mildred Glover, of Chester Terrace, Regent’s Park. “I have not the remotest idea what I shall do with the money,” said Mr. Bristow to a press representative. “I do not intend to take a holiday and shall continue my work in the parish. Why she left me this money I don’t know.”
He first met Miss Glover, he said, when vicar of St. Paul’s, Northampton. The legacy was entirely a personal gift, and no conditions were attached to it. Mr. Bristow’s church Was burned in June of last year, after it had been reconstructed only four months before at a cost of £SOOO, subscribed by the parish.
