​ ​of soap, and these two important industries were introduced and maintained by him up to the present time. The firm of W. H. Burford & Sons have also manufactured stearine candles and toilet soaps, articles in great request, and for which they were prize-takers at many exhibitions. Mr. Burford has long striven for the best interests of South Australia. He was a member of the first Adelaide Corporation, which died of inanition, and was succeeded by a Commission or Board of three members. He united with his fellow-citizens in opposing the attempted encroachment upon Victoria-square for cathedral purposes. He was elected one of the first six members for Adelaide, under the present constitution of responsible government, and by his strict attention to Parliamentary duties was instrumental in saving the Real Property Act (a measure which met with ' much opposition). The late Sir R. R. Torrens acknowledged this in a letter to Mr. Burford, in which he commented on his services and action in the matter; and although his career in the House was but short, in this instance it proved a blessing of untold value to many colonists and communities. Regarding Torrens's Act Mr. Burford says: "It must be ever watched over and cared for, to prevent infringements on the part of some of the legal profession, who would much prefer their gains under the old régime." In his 79th year Mr. Burford is a hale and hearty man, his chief infirmity being deafness; he is one of a class of earnest pioneers rapidly passing away, and leaving only the recollection of their good deeds in. the hearts of their fellow-men. Did space permit, this record might be extended, for could we not relate the strenuous exertions of William Henville Burford with Mr. Joseph Allen and other advocates for the abolition of capital punishment? Time alone can determine whether capital punishment shall be abolished, and whatever may be said against its advocates, it is certain that here they are only actuated by a sense of justice and right.

William James Fullarton,
ONE of the founders of the Adelaide Chess Club, and a clever exponent of the game, arrived in the colony in 1855, and entered into partnership with Mr. McFarlane Heriot as a general merchant. He left this in 1 868, and was for some years engaged in general agency business and as secretary to several companies. He was for nine years connected in this capacity with the Southern Insurance Company, and resigned in 1884 through failing health. His death took place at East Adelaide, August 3, 1885, in his 53rd year.
# Notable South Australians/William Lawes Ware

Layout 2
William Lawes Ware,
BORN at Exeter, Devon, England, October 24, 1847. Left England at an early age for South Australia, where he arrived in March 1850. For nearly twenty years Mr. Ware has followed the profession of accountant and financial agent, in which capacity he has not only acquired the confidence of his principals, but been very successful. He first entered into business on his own account in 1872, and has since then been identified in a great degree with the mining industries of the colony, and connected with many mines on Yorke's Peninsula, Echunga, Waukaringa, and ​other places. He became a Fellow of the Royal Society of South Australia in 1878, and was elected by his fellow-citizens Auditor for the City of Adelaide in June 1878. In the following year he was re-elected to the same office by 2,250 votes, and has since then occupied the position continuously by re-election at the stated periods. Mr. Ware is well known in connection with Freemasonry, and has for many years* been a prominent officer in that order. He is now Grand Treasurer in the Grand Lodge of South Australia, and one of the Trustees of its property. He has had considerable practice in the administration of trust estates and financial business. Ostrich farming, an industry most suitable to our soil and climate, has been materially assisted by him in its introduce tion and establishment in this colony.
# Notable South Australians/William McMinn

Layout 2
William McMinn,
BORN May, 1844, at Newry, County Down, Ireland; died at North Adelaide, February 14, 1884. Arrived with his parents in South Australia in 1850: was for a time engaged in studying architecture in the office of Mr. J. Macgeorge, and afterwards entered the Government service. In June, 1864, the first expedition to the Northern Territory was organised, the Hon. B. T. Finniss being the leader of the party, which Mr. McMinn accompanied as surveyor. During the time of Mr. Finniss's government, the well known "Forlorn Hope" voyage took place, when Mr. McMinn and others accomplished that perilous trip of 2,000 miles in an open boat, from the Northern Territory to Champion Bay. In 1870 he was appointed Government Inspector of the Port Darwin end of the contract for constructing the Overland Telegraph line, but acting under instructions annulled the contract, which led to Mr. Patterson, Assistant Engineer, being sent to Port Darwin, and afterwards to the establishment of the Roper River party, under Mr. C. Todd, C.M.G., Superintendent of Telegraphs. On his return from the Territory Mr. McMinn practised his profession as architect in Adelaide, and was severally associated in that capacity with ​Messrs. D. Garlick, E. J. Woods (Architect-in-Chief), and I. G. Beaver. He superintended many extensive works—the Adelaide University was built from his designs—and he also gained second prize for designs for a bridge over the Torrens. His death in the prime of life was a source of great regret to his widow and family, and he will be long held in affectionate remembrance by many friends to whom his estimable qualities and amiability had endeared him. His brother, Mr. Gilbert McMinn was, till lately, Acting Government Resident at Palmerston, an office at present held by Mr. J. L. Parsons, M.P.

William Oswald Whitridge,
ELDEST son of W. W. E. Whitridge (at one time newspaper proprietor, author, and one of the editors of the South Australian Register), Born at Kensington, S.A., August 14, 1863. Educated at the Adelaide Educational Institution, by Mr. J. L. Young. Left school when fourteen years old, and was apprenticed at the Register office, where he has been employed ever since, and has passed, through the various stages of newspaper work.

# Notable South Australians/William Novice

Layout 2
William Novice,
IS a native of London, where he was born in 1831. He arrived in South Australia in 1862, and entered into pastoral and farming pursuits at Booborowie, where he was fairly successful, in spite of the difficulties which beset the husbandman in those primitive times. Possessed of a logical mind and inventive talent, Mr. Novice has endeavoured at various times to interest the Government and capitalists in his numerous discoveries and inventions, but up to the present has received small encouragement. He has been a voluminous contributor to the press, and his most notable productions are ​"The Condition of the Working Classes in the Bush;" "The Burra and its Peculiarities;" "Farming Jumbles;" "Farming Colloquies," and many others. Who knows that the suggestions which these contained may not have led to the establishment of the Bushmen's Club, or even of the now flourishing Agricultural College? Mr. Novice considers that in the latter the core of South Australia's future stability is forming. He is now devoting his leisure to experiments with the steam-engine, and is writing up the theory to expose with other errors that "air pressure" is only attraction, and that gravity, or weight, will be only density in future scientific teachings.
# Notable South Australians/William Herbert Phillipps

William Herbert Phillipps,
BORN in Adelaide, December 3, 1847, and educated at Mr. J. L. Young's and Fellenberg's Commercial school, which he left in his fourteenth year to occupy a place in the office of the late Justice Wearing, the then Crown Solicitor; made rapid progress, and was urged by Mr. Wearing to enter the legal profession, but preferring a a mercantile career, was transferred to the office of Messrs. Stilling & Co., in October 1864, as junior. Ere many years Mr. Phillipps became manager of the extensive shipping and insurance business of that firm. On the founding of Union College he became one of the first students, passed the mathematical examination successfully and was going up for examination in other subjects, when his health gave way from over-study and he was reluctantly compelled to withdraw. Mr. Phillipps married, on December 18, 1877, the second daughter of the Hon. R. A. Tarlton, M.L.C., and in November 1878 resigned his position at Messrs. Stilling & Co., to commence business on his own account as agent for several insurance companies. He gradually extended his mercantile relations, ​till, in 1881, on returning from a visit to Europe, he founded the firm of George Wills & Co., of London, Adelaide, and Port Adelaide, of which he became and is still the managing partner in South Australia.

# Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers: Series II/Volume XIV/Additional Canons 1/The Synod of Antioch in Encaeniis/Canons/Canon XXIII

Canon XXIII.
It shall not be lawful for a bishop, even at the close of life, to appoint another as successor to himself; and if any such thing should be done, the appointment shall be void. But the ecclesiastical law must be observed, that a bishop must not be appointed otherwise than by a synod and with the judgment of the bishops, who have the authority to promote the man who is worthy, after the falling asleep of him who has ceased from his labours.
Notes.
Ancient Epitome of Canon XXIII.
A dying bishop shall not appoint another bishop.  But when he is dead a worthy successor shall be provided by a synod of those who have this power.
Nothing could be more important than the provision of this canon. It is evidently intended to prevent nepotism in every form, and to leave the appointment to the vacant see absolutely to the free choice of the Metropolitan and his synod. The history of the Church, and its present practice, is a curious commentary upon the ancient legislation, and the appointment of coadjutor bishops cum jure successionis, so common in later days, seems to be a somewhat ingenious way of escaping the force of the canon. Van Espen, however, reminds his readers of the most interesting case of St. Augustine of Hippo (which he himself narrates in his Epistle CCXIII.) of how he was chosen by his predecessor as bishop of Hippo, both he and the then bishop being ignorant of the fact that it was prohibited by the canons. And how when in his old age the people wished him to have one chosen bishop to help him till his death and to succeed him afterwards, he declined saying: “What was worthy of blame in my own case, shall not be a blot likewise upon my son.” He did not hesitate to say who he thought most worthy to succeed him, but he added, “he shall be a presbyter, as he is, and when God so wills he shall be a bishop.” Van Espen adds; “All this should be read carefully that thence may be learned how St. Augustine set an example to bishops and pastors of taking all the pains possible that after their deaths true pastors, and not thieves and wolves, should enter into their flocks, who in a short time would destroy all they had accomplished by so much labour in so long a time.” (Cf. Eusebius. H. E., Lib. VI., cap. xj. and cap. xxxij.)
Compare Apostolic Canon number LXXVI.
This canon is found in the Corpus Juris Canonici, Gratian’s Decretum, Pars II., Causa VIII., Quæst. I., can. III., in Dionysius’s version, and again Canon IV. in that of Martin Bracarensis.

# Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers: Series II/Volume XIV/Additional Canons 1/The Synod of Antioch in Encaeniis/Canons/Canon XXIV

Canon XXIV.
It is right that what belongs to the Church be preserved with all care to the Church, with a good conscience and faith in God, the inspector and judge of all. And these things ought to be administered under the judgment and authority of the bishop, who is entrusted with the whole people and with the souls of the congregation. But it should be manifest what is church property, with the knowledge of the presbyters and deacons about him; so that these may know assuredly what things belong to the Church, and that nothing be concealed from them, in order that, when the bishop may happen to depart this life, the property belonging to the Church being well known, may not be embezzled nor lost, and in order that the private property of the bishop may not be disturbed on a pretence that it is part of the ecclesiastical goods. For it is just and well-pleasing to God and man that the private property of the bishop be bequeathed to whomsoever he will, but that for the Church be kept whatever belongs to the Church; so that neither the Church may suffer loss, nor the bishop be injured under pretext of the Church’s interest, nor those who belong to him fall into lawsuits, and himself, after his death, be brought under reproach.
Notes.
Ancient Epitome of Canon XXIV.
All the clergy should be cognizant of ecclesiastical matters; so that when the bishop dies the Church may preserve her own goods; but what belongs to the bishop shall be disposed of according to his directions.
Van Espen.
This canon shews the early discipline according to which the presbyters and deacons of the episcopal city, who were said to be “about him” or to pertain to his chair, represented the senate of the church, who together with the bishop administered the church affairs, and, when the see was vacant, had the charge of it. All this Martin of Braga sets forth more clearly in his version, and I have treated of the matter at large in my work on Ecclesiastical Law, Pars I., Tit. viii., cap. i., where I have shewn that the Cathedral chapter succeeded to this senate of presbyters and deacons.
Compare with this canon Apostolical Canon XL.
This canon in a somewhat changed form is found in the Corpus Juris Canonici, Gratian’s Decretum, Pars II., Causa XII., Quæst. I., can. xx., and attributed to “Pope Martin’s Council”; also compare with this the ensuing canon, number XXI.
# Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers: Series II/Volume XIV/Additional Canons 1/The Synod of Antioch in Encaeniis/Canons/Canon XXV

Canon XXV.
Let the bishop have power over the funds of the Church, so as to dispense them with all piety and in the fear of God to all who need. And if there be occasion, let him take what he requires for his own necessary uses and those of his brethren sojourning with him, so that they may in no way lack, according to the divine Apostle, who says, “Having food and raiment, let us therewith be content.” And if he shall not be content with these, but shall apply the funds to his own private uses, and not manage the revenues of the Church, or the rent of the farms, with the consent of the presbyters and deacons, but shall give the authority to his own domestics and kinsmen, or brothers, or sons, so that the accounts of the Church are secretly injured, he himself shall submit to an investigation by the synod of the province.  But if, on the other hand, the bishop or his presbyters shall be defamed as appropriating to themselves what belongs to the Church, (whether from lands or any other ecclesiastical resources), so that the poor are oppressed, and accusation and infamy are brought upon the account and on those who so administer it, let them also be subject to correction, the holy synod determining what is right.
Notes.
Ancient Epitome of Canon XXV.
The bishop shall have power over ecclesiastical goods. But should he not be content with those things which are sufficient for him but shall alienate the goods and revenues of the church, without the advice of the clergy, penalties shall be exacted from him in the presence of the synod. But if he has converted to his own uses what was given for the poor, of this also let him give an explanation to the synod.
Compare with this canon Apostolic Canon number XLI.
This Canon is found in the Corpus Juris Canonici, Gratian’s Decretum, Pars II., Causa XII., Quæst I., can. XXIII. and with this should be compared canon XXII. immediately preceding.
At the end of this canon in Labbe’s version of Dionysius we find these words added. “And thirty bishops signed who were gathered together at this Synod.” Isidore Mercator has a still fuller text, viz.: “I, Eusebius, being present subscribe to all things constituted by this holy Synod.  Theodore, Nicetas, Macedonius, Anatolius, Tarcodimantus, Æthereus, Narcissus, Eustachius, Hesychius, Mauricius, Paulus, and the rest, thirty bishops agreed and signed.” Van Espen after noting that this addition is not found in the Greek, nor in Martin Bracarensis, adds “there is little probability that this clause is of the same antiquity as the canons.”

# Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers: Series II/Volume XIV/Additional Canons 2/Canons/Canon C

Canon C.
“Let thine eyes behold the thing which is right,” orders Wisdom, “and keep thine heart with all care.” For the bodily senses easily bring their own impressions into the soul. Therefore we order that henceforth there shall in no way be made pictures, whether they are in paintings or in what way so ever, which attract the eye and corrupt the mind, and incite it to the enkindling of base pleasures. And if any one shall attempt to do this he is to be cut off.
Ancient Epitome of Canon C.
Pictures which induce impurity are not to be painted. Whoso shall transgress shall be cut off.
# Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers: Series II/Volume XIV/Additional Canons 1/The Synod of Antioch in Encaeniis/The Synodal Letter

The Synodal Letter.
(Found in Labbe and Cossart, Concilia, Tom. II., col. 559. It really is no part of the canons, but I have placed it here, because, as Labbe notes, “it is usually prefixed to the canons in the Greek.”)
The holy and most peaceful Synod which has been gathered together in Antioch from the provinces of Cœle-Syria, Phœnicia, Palestine, Arabia, Mesopotamia, Cilicia, and Isauria; to our like-minded and holy fellow Ministers in every Province, health in the Lord.
The grace and truth of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ hath regarded the holy Church of the Antiochians, and, by joining it together with unity of mind and concord and the Spirit of Peace, hath likewise bettered many other things; and in them all this betterment is wrought by the assistance of the holy and peace-giving Spirit.  Wherefore, that which after much examination and investigation, was unanimously agreed upon by us bishops, who coming out of various Provinces have met together in Antioch, we have now brought to your knowledge; trusting in the grace of Christ and in the Holy Spirit of Peace, that ye also will agree with us and stand by us as far as in you lies, striving with us in prayers, and being even more united with us, following the Holy Spirit, uniting in our definitions, and decreeing the same things as we; ye, in the concord which proceedeth of the Holy Spirit, sealing and confirming what has been determined.
Now the Canons of the Church which have been settled are hereto appended.
