REV CYRIL MOORE PENKIVIL HEATH

In the summer of 1914, my second son, Cyril, resigned his membership of the Bush Brotherhood in Australia, and came to England on a long holiday, in the course of which, while frequently visiting us at Shanklin, he held temporary curacies, first at Bishopstoke, Hants., and afterwards at Holy Trinity, Lambeth, where he had previously been curate. This last appointment involving war work, as several of the wards of St. Thomas's hospital, containing, at the time, many wounded soldiers, were under the pastoral charge of the clergy attached to the church.

In the spring of 1915 he returned to Australia, and was, on arrival, presented by the Archbishop of Brisbane to the rectory of Beaudesert, near Brisbane, Queensland, which he still holds.

He was married on September 9th, 1915, to Dulcie, daughter of the late Dr. Sides and Mrs Sides, of Bourke, New South Wales.

In November, 1919, he resigned his living at Beaudesert, and in March, 1920, returned with his wife to England, where he is to make a somewhat prolonged stay, after which he proposes to again seek service in some part of the Colonial Church.            D.L.H.
