letter Of Rev. V. II. Kitcat, reslgning
his Offices Of vice dean and parish
priest In st. Andrews cathedral, and
Bishop Willis's letter of acceptance
with regrets. When the news was
first given to the Bulletin, 1t was said
that the letters would be published In
due time. Mr.. Kitcat's reason Is,
briefly. that. In view Of the coming
transfer Of the Anglican church here
from English to American Jurisdiction
II is the part of wisdom for the clergy
to place at the Bishops disposal the
offices they hold that he might be free
to make such changes as he felt the
present conditions imposed.
