Bishop Molony's Sermon at the Cathedral There was a very large congregation at Holy Trinity Cathedral, on Sunday morning, at the memorial service for the late Sir Everard Fraser, x.c.M.c., H. M. Consul-General. A special form of service, conducted by the Dearn, was used, opening with the Dead March in "Saul" impressively played by Mr.
Young. The hymns were "Let Saints on Earth" and "For all the Saints" (tune E. H. 641), the Responses were Ferial, Psalm 23 to Chant 238, the "Te Deum" Parry in D. and the 'Benedictus' was sang to Chant 81. After the Col-leets the choir sang the beautiful Contakion of the Departed. In fitting tribute to the memory of Sir Everard, a collection was made for the Memorial Chapel Fund.
Bishop Molony took for his text Genesis 41.10—"It is not in me; God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace." He said:—I had prepared to speak to you to-day about a great man of over 3,000 years ago. He suffered hardness in his youth; he was a man of high ideals and hopes; one who feared God and did loyal service to a great king; one who served his country in a great emergency, and was kind to his brethren; one who died, honoured and lamented by all. But circumstances which have arisen this week have compelled me to change my subject from the "id Patriarch, Joseph, who saved Egypt from famine, and to speak instead of a man known to us all, but one of whom many of the same things might be said.
