VICAR HITS GOSSIPS
AT
Grey-haired ex-missionary Vicar
of Haughley. near Ipswich, the Rev. W. Grainge White denounced village scandal-mongering from his pulpit at Evensong.
Mr. White had declared his in- tention of speaking on the subject. Some
villagers said that they would stay away from the church. Thirty people, were present, in- sexton. cluding the 36-year-old Mr. Aubrey Allum.
The vicar's text was a verse from Chap 1 of the Epistle to the Ephesians, **Speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members ont of another."
He had declared war on local gossips after he had heard of a "malicious rumour" in the.. village.
"There is a tendency to tell me what I shall say or shall- 10l say in church." Mr. White said.
"It is a form of blackmall. They say that if the vicar says, some- thing they don't like they will ab sent themselves from church and try to get others tu, do the same. But people who know me know that that form of blackmall has no effect on me.
堂
"You cannot get rid of respon. sibility for slander by saying some- one told you. The person who does this can be dealt with. you hear things about me it is your duty to tell me, because if you don't it will go round the village."
Mr. White said afterwards: "I hope that my pulpit admoni- tion will have an effect on the gosips. For 17 years I have been fighting the scandal-mongers, arid I have myself suffered from their wagging tongue."
