Having been ordained at Chelms- ford a short while ago, Sir Genille Caver-Brown-Cave preached-his first sermon as a clergyman of the Church of England ore Sunday evening in June at St., Andrew's, Walthamstow, to which church he has been ap pointed.

Sir. Gerille is the welfth baronet of a line which goes back to 1641. He has preached in the United States, where he was for a time a member of the Wesleyan Methodist Church, and at Gosport and elsewhere while a private in the Royal Garrison Artil-. lery:

His life has been one of travel and adventure, and he has hunted big game in many countries. He served with the Boxer Expedition, and with the United States army in the Spanish- American War."

Six years ago (writes a Daily" Chronicle correspondent) I hunted Sir Genille up in a little "one-horse " village called. Cecil, Pennsylvania, - where he was working for a few shill- ings a week on a cranberry farm, reserving Saturday to himself for divinity study, in preparation for ordination and Sundays for voluntary preaching.
