ST. MARY’S CHURCH
“If our informant be right, the Rev Mr. FOWLE appears to have an unfortunate propensity for getting into hot water with his Congregation. The Rev. Gentleman commenced a series of Sermons intended as a reply to those now in course of delivery by the Rev. Mr. HARSANT. The Churchwardens and Vestry remonstrated with him on the subject, and the matter has been referred to the Bishop, who is reported to have given instructions that the Sermons be discontinued.”
The above paragraph having been published in the Port Elizabeth Mercury of Saturday last, and similar unfounded statements having from to time appeared in the public newspapers, the Churchwardens and Vestry of St.Mary’s feel bound to give an unqualified Contradiction to this Paragraph in particular, and at the same time to caution the Members of the Church against receiving any such unauthorised statements.
