Thurnscoe’s New Curate.

Ai the service at Thurnscoe last night, when the Rev. H. Card was instituted as curate-in charge of St. Hilda’s in the district of Thurnscoe East, the little corrugated iron church was tilled to its fullest extent.

The congregation included a good number of his friends from St. Philip’s, who had greatly appreciated his work. The ceremony was conducted by the Bishop of Sheffield.

The Bishop took as his text “Be an example.” St. Paul, he said was quite clear that a minister of Christ had to be an example. He pointed out that a priest could not be an example unless he had an inward call to the ministry. He believed that their new, curate-in-charge had had an inward and spiritual call to be a  minister of Christ.

Mr. Card had had experience of what the work of the ministry involved in the large parish which he had just left.
