George Ormerod, J.P.,
ONE of the pioneer settlers of the South-East District, and the founder of Narracoorte. On the opening of Guichen Bay as a port, he sold his property at Narracoorte and settled there. He was a man of untiring energy and perseverance, who, aided by these qualities, worked his way up to a position of comfort, honour, and influence. Mr. Ormerod was a member of an old Lancashire family, and born at Rochdale in 1822. He arrived in Victoria in 1842, but shortly after came overland to South Australia. He took up land at Narracoorte about the year 1846, and was instrumental in advancing the progress of this and the surrounding district. He was a Justice of Peace, and chairman of the Local Road Board of Guichen Bay. His death took place on April 10, 1872.

He was early appointed to the Commission of the Peace; for many years acted as Returning Officer for the district of Gumeracha; held office as member of the Central Road Board and Forest Board, and in connection with both did good service. He was a skilled botanist and microscopist, and fond of scientific pursuits. Generous and kindly in disposition, he was much esteemed in the neighbourhood in which he resided, and by a large circle of friends throughout the colony. His son, the Rev. J. McEwin, is editor of the Christian Colonist, Adelaide.

H. J. Smith
ARRIVED in the colony as a boy with his father, the late Mr. Matthew Smith, Commissioner of Insolvency. Engaged in pastoral pursuits near Port Lincoln, but not being successful, abandoned this on receiving appointment of Returning Officer for the Electoral District of Flinders in July, 1861. On December 22, 1864, was appointed Stipendiary Magistrate of the province, serving successfully in that capacity at Port Lincoln, Port Augusta, Mount Remarkable, and Narracoorte. Remained at the last-mentioned town for a long period, where he was much esteemed as an upright and painstaking magistrate, while his genial temperament and pleasant manners made him universally popular. For some time prior to his death, in December, 1884, Mr. Smith had been wholly incapacitated for the discharge of his magisterial duties. He made many friends and few enemies, and was much regretted in the district in which he had so long resided. He was in the sixty-third year of his age when he died.
# Notable South Australians/Harry Dickson Gell, J.P.

Layout 2
Harry Dickson Gell, J.P.,
BORN in England in 1845, and arrived with his parents in this colony in September 1849. His father was for some time connected with the celebrated iron firm of Morewood & Rogers, and after establishing the business in Leigh and Hindley-streets, attracted by the gold-fields of Victoria, he left for the sister colony. Not being favored by fortune, the subject of this notice had early to fight the battle of life. A considerable portion of his time was spent in the Wallaroo district, before and after the discovery of the Moonta Mines. After filling several engagements he came to Adelaide, and in 1874 took the position he now occupies as Secretary to the City Permanent Building and Investment Society. He was elected to the Town Council of Glenelg in 1881, and returned as Mayor for that municipality in December 1884. He is a warm supporter and advocate of Improvement and Literary Societies, and takes a lively interest in their establishment in various districts. He has also been an active worker for, and supporter of country and suburban institutes, and is greatly interested in the early closing movement. Twenty-five years ago the period of labor was excessive; averaging fourteen hours per diem. Finding it impossible to obtain an earlier time for closing, Mr. Grell with others agitated until the boon of a Wednesday half-holiday was conceded. This useful relaxation from labour has been applied with marked success to many of our country towns and places of business in the city.
# Notable South Australians/George Hubert Hall

George Hubert Hall,
BROTHER of the above, was born in Sydney, in November 1860. On completing his education, he, at the age of fifteen, took his first lessons on the violin from!Mr. John Gibbs. He next was a pupil of Mr. W. Rice, and later on of Charles Packer. Under the able tuition of the latter, with whom he remained three years, he became proficient in piano and theory; so much so, that he was considered by his instructor one of his most advanced pupils. He was next associated with the eminent violinist, Herr Joseph Kretchman, and became a prominent member of that gentleman's quartette. Being offered an engagement with Lyster's Opera Company to come to Adelaide, Mr. Hall accepted it, and arrived here in 1880, remaining about eight months, when he returned to Sydney. He was there connected with -the Montague- Turner Opera Company as leader for two years, when, in consequence of his brother's illness and subsequent death, he was sent for to take his place as director of the Theatre Royal Orchestra, Adelaide. He has held that position ever since; with what success we leave the theatregoing public to determine, though it is an undoubted fact that the dramatic orchestra he conducts is one of the best in the colonies. Mr. Hall is leader of the Adelaide String Quartette Club, and has for the last three seasons played ​many of the best works of the old masters, taking part also at intervals with the most famed of our visitors in the musical world, such as Remenyi and others.
# Notable South Australians/George Styles

See note in Appendix

George Styles,
WHO was about 75 years of age at the time of his death, in 1884, was a colonist whose perseverance and energy rendered him eminently successful, and whose honesty and straightforwardness might form an example for others to follow. He was a native of Amersham, Buckinghamshire, England, where he followed the trade of a baker. He married early in life, and it was not until he found himself head of a household, including three stalwart sons and an equal number of daughters, that he decided to come to Australia, to give them greater scope for their energies than they possessed in the old country. Shortly after arrival here Mr. Styles entered into business as a baker and storekeeper at Unley, and from a small beginning worked up a large concern, from which he retired about five years since. He was a member of the School Board of Advice for Unley and Mitcham, and as a Justice of Peace on the Adelaide Bench often assisted Mr. Beddome in his judicial work. Mr. Styles was also a leading member of St. Augustine's Church, Unley, and widely respected.
# Notable South Australians/George Oughton

Layout 2
George Oughton,
BORN February 20, 1842, at Kingston, Jamaica, West Indies, and is the youngest son of the late Rev. Samuel Oughton of the same place. He early evinced a talent for music, being able to play psalmody on the fine organ in his father's church. He went' to England and received his education at tho collegiate establishment at Oundle, Northamptonshire,then conducted by the late Professor Kewth; here, in addition to his classical and other studies, he devoted his attention to music, having as his tutor the organist of the parish church. Before leaving England for Australia he resided for some time in London, where he was closely associated with Mr. Ebenezer Prout, the eminent Professor and Composer. Mr. Oughton arrived in Melbourne during 1859, and whilst there studied harmony and instrumentation under Mr. Bandmaster Johnson, of the 40th Regiment, whilst he still continued his studies at the organ. Upon the breaking out of the Kew Zealand war at Taranaki in 1860, Mr. Oughton was ordered with his regiment into active service, and served till the conclusion of the Waikato contest in 1864. He was present in the principal engagements, for which he received the war medal. After leaving the army he engaged in business in Auckland with considerable success, identifying himself ​with all the leading musical organizations and occupying various responsible positions. Mr. Oughton arrived in Adelaide in August 1870, when he immediately received an important position as organist, and also an appointment in the Civil Service. He conducted the Musical Union for several years, and also formed the fine Military Band, which he still directs. Of this band much might be written, for it has done good service in the community; suffice it to say, that on every occasion when it has performed it has been listened to with much pleasure and satisfaction. Besides arranging for this band, Mr. Oughton has scored several entire works for orchestra. He also occupied the honorary position of city organist to the Adelaide Corporation for a lengthened period.

# Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers: Series II/Volume II/Socrates/Book VI/Chapter 14

Chapter XIV.—Epiphanius is asked to meet John; on refusing he is admonished concerning his Anticanonical Proceedings; alarmed at this he leaves Constantinople.
John was not offended because Epiphanius, contrary to the ecclesiastical canon, had made an ordination in his church;
but invited him to remain with him at the episcopal palace. He, however, replied that he would neither stay nor pray with him, unless he would expel Dioscorus and his brethren from the city, and with his own hand subscribe the condemnation of Origen’s books. Now as John deferred the performance of these things, saying that nothing ought to be done rashly before investigation by a general council, John’s adversaries led Epiphanius to adopt another course. For they contrived it so that as a meeting was in the church named The Apostles, Epiphanius came forth and before all the people condemned the books of Origen, excommunicated Dioscorus with his followers, and charged John with countenancing them. These things were reported to John; whereupon on the following day he sent the appended message to Epiphanius just as he entered the church:
‘You do many things contrary to the canons, Epiphanius. In the first place you have made an ordination in the churches under my jurisdiction: then without my appointment, you have on your own authority officiated in them. Moreover, when heretofore I invited you hither, you refused to come, and now you take that liberty yourself. Beware therefore, lest a tumult being excited among the people, you yourself should also incur danger therefrom.’
Epiphanius becoming alarmed on hearing these admonitions, left the church; and after accusing John of many things, he set out on his return to Cyprus. Some say that when he was about to depart, he said to John, ‘I hope that you will not die a bishop’: to which John replied, ‘Expect not to arrive at your own country.’ I cannot be sure that those who reported these things to me spoke the truth; but nevertheless the event was in the case of both as prophesied above. For Epiphanius did not reach Cyprus, having died on board the ship during his voyage; and John a short time afterwards was driven from his see, as we shall show in proceeding.

Chapter XVII.—Conflict between the Constantinopolitans and Alexandrians on Account of Heraclides; Flight of Theophilus and the Bishops of his Party.
In the first place, then, Theophilus attempted to investigate the case of the ordination of Heraclides,
that thereby he might if possible find occasion of again deposing John. Heraclides was not present at this scrutiny. He was nevertheless judged in his absence, on the charge of having unjustly beaten some persons, and afterwards dragged them in chains through the midst of the city of Ephesus. As John and his adherents remonstrated against the injustice of passing sentence upon an absent person, the Alexandrians contended that they ought to hear the accusers of Heraclides, although he was not present. A sharp contest therefore ensued between the Alexandrians and the Constantinopolitans, and a riot arose whereby many persons were wounded, and some were killed. Theophilus, seeing what was done, fled to Alexandria without ceremony; and the other bishops, except the few who supported John, followed his example, and returned to their respective sees. After these transactions, Theophilus was degraded, in every one’s estimation: but the odium attached to him was exceedingly increased by the shameless way in which he continued to read Origen’s works. And when he was asked why he thus countenanced what he had publicly condemned, he replied, ‘Origen’s books are like a meadow enameled with flowers of every kind. If, therefore, I chance to find a beautiful one among them, I cull it: but whatever appears to me to be thorny, I step over, as that which would prick.’ But Theophilus gave this answer without reflecting on the saying of the wise Solomon,
that ‘the words of the wise are as goads’; and those who are pricked by the precepts they contain, ought not to kick against them. For these reasons then Theophilus was held in contempt by all men. Dioscorus bishop of Hermopolis, one of those termed ‘the Tall Monks,’ died a short time after the flight of Theophilus, and was honored with a magnificent funeral, being interred in the church at ‘The Oak,’ where the Synod was convened on John’s account. John meanwhile was sedulously employed in preaching. He ordained Serapion bishop of Heraclea in Thrace, on whose account the odium against himself had been raised. Not long after the following events occurred.

Chapter XIX.—Ordination of Arsacius as John’s Successor. Indisposition of Cyrinus Bishop of Chalcedon.
After the lapse of a few days, Arsacius was ordained bishop of Constantinople; he was a brother of Nectarius who so ably administered the see before John, although he was then very aged, being upwards of eighty years old. While he very mildly and peacefully administered the episcopate, Cyrinus bishop of Chalcedon, upon whose foot Maruthas bishop of Mesopotamia had inadvertently trodden, became so seriously affected by the accident, that mortification ensued, and it became necessary to amputate his foot. Nor was this amputation performed once only, but was required to be often repeated: for after the injured limb was cut off, the evil so permeated his whole system, that the other foot also having become affected by the disease had to submit to the same operation.
I have alluded to this circumstance, because many have affirmed that what he suffered was a judgment upon him for his calumnious aspersions of John, whom he so often designated as arrogant and inexorable,
as I have already said.
Furthermore as on the 30th of September, in the last-mentioned consulate,
there was an extraordinary fall of hail of immense size at Constantinople and its suburbs, it also was declared to be an expression of Divine indignation on account of Chrysostom’s unjust deposition: and the death of the empress tended to give increased credibility to these reports, for it took place four days after the hail-storm. Others, however, asserted that John had been deservedly deposed, because of the violence he had exercised in Asia and Lydia, in depriving the Novatians and Quartodecimans of many of their churches, when he went to Ephesus and ordained Heraclides. But whether John’s deposition was just, as his enemies declare, or Cyrinus suffered in chastisement for his slanderous revilings; whether the hail fell, or the empress died on John’s account, or whether these things happened for other reasons, or for these in connection with others, God only knows, who is the discerner of secrets, and the just judge of truth itself. I have simply recorded the reports which were current at that time.

Chapter XII.—Epiphanius, in order to gratify Theophilus, performs Ordinations at Constantinople without John’s Permission.
Not long after this, at the suggestion of Theophilus, the bishop Epiphanius again came from Cyprus to Constantinople; he brought also with him a copy of the synodical decree in which they did not excommunicate Origen himself but condemned his books. On reaching St. John’s church, which is seven miles distant from the city, he disembarked, and there celebrated a service; then after having ordained a deacon,
he again entered the city. In complaisance to Theophilus he declined John’s courtesy, and engaged apartments in a private house. He afterwards assembled those of the bishops who were then in the capital, and producing his copy of the synodical decree condemnatory of Origen’s works, recited it before them; not being able to assign any reason for this judgment, than that it seemed fit to Theophilus and himself to reject them. Some indeed from a reverential respect for Epiphanius subscribed the decree; but many refused to do so among whom was Theotimus bishop of Scythia, who thus addressed Epiphanius:—‘I neither choose, Epiphanius,’ said he, ‘to insult the memory of one who ended his life piously long ago; nor dare I be guilty of so impious an act, as that of condemning what our predecessors did not reject: and especially when I know of no evil doctrine contained in Origen’s books.’ Having said this, he brought forward one of that author’s works, and reading a few passages therefrom, showed that the sentiments propounded were in perfect accordance with the orthodox faith. He then added, ‘Those who speak evil of these writings are unconsciously casting dishonor upon the sacred volume whence their principles are drawn.’ Such was the reply which Theotimus, a bishop celebrated for his piety and rectitude of life, made to Epiphanius.

* ↑ It was contrary to the canons of the church for a bishop to ordain a presbyter or a deacon in another’s diocese. Cf. Apostol. Can. 35. ‘Let not a bishop dare to ordain beyond his own limits in cities and places not subject to him. But if he be convicted of doing so without the consent of those persons who have authority over such cities and places, let him be deposed, and those also whom he has ordained.’ Also Can. 16 of the Council of Nicæa; ‘If any one should dare to steal, as it were, a person who belongs to another [bishop], and to ordain him for his own church, without permission of the bishop from whom he was withdrawn, the ordination shall be void.’

Chapter XVI.—Sedition on Account of John Chrysostom’s Banishment. He is recalled.
The people then became intolerably tumultuous; and as it frequently happens in such cases, many who before were adversely disposed against him, now changed their hostility into compassion, and said of him whom they had so recently desired to see deposed, that he had been traduced. By this means therefore they became very numerous who exclaimed against both the emperor and the Synod of bishops; but the origin of the intrigue they more particularly referred to Theophilus. For his fraudulent conduct could no longer be concealed, being exposed by many other indications, and especially by the fact of his having held communion with Dioscorus, and those termed ‘the Tall Monks,’
immediately after John’s deposition. But Severian preaching in the church, and thinking it a suitable occasion to declaim against John, said: ‘If John had been condemned for nothing else, yet the haughtiness of his demeanor was a crime sufficient to justify his deposition. Men indeed are forgiven all other sins: but “God resisteth the proud,”
as the Divine Scriptures teach us.’ These reproaches made the people still more inclined to opposition; so that the emperor gave orders for his immediate recall. Accordingly Briso a eunuch in the service of the empress
was sent after him, who finding him at Prænetum—a commercial town situated over against Nicomedia—brought him back toward Constantinople. And as he had been recalled, John refused to enter the city, declaring he would not do so until his innocence had been admitted by a higher tribunal. Thus he remained at a suburb called Marianæ. Now as he delayed at that place the commotion increased, and caused the people to break forth into very indignant and opprobrious language against their rulers, wherefore to check their fury John was constrained to proceed. On his way a vast multitude, with veneration and honor, conducted him immediately to the church; there they entreated him to seat himself in the episcopal chair, and give them his accustomed benediction. When he sought to excuse himself, saying that ‘this ought to be brought about by an order from his judges, and that those who condemned him must first revoke their sentence,’ they were only the more inflamed with the desire of seeing him reinstated, and of hearing him address them again. The people finally prevailed on him to resume his seat, and pray as usual for peace upon them; after which, acting under the same constraint, he preached to them. This compliance on John’s part afforded his adversaries another ground of crimination; but respecting this they took no action at that time.
