PREACHED TO EMPTY SEATS
Vicar Boycotted Had for His Only
Hearer Daughter Who Killed
Herself.

The strange and unhappy state of
affairs which exists at Stokes Lyme, In
Oxfordshire, has been brought to light
through the tragedy which occurred
lately at the local vicarage, relates
the London Graphic. The Wears
daughter, a clever girl of "A, commit
ted suicide by taking poison, and at
the inquest her father. the Rev. Will
liam Bryant. declared hat the boy
cotting to which he had been subject
e. by his parishioners had preyed up
ON the child's mind and caused her to
take her life.
The coroner refused to accept Mr..
in consequence the vicar has commn-
uicated with the home Office with a
view to a further inquiry.
The position at Stoke Lyme appears
to be far worse than may imagined
from the inquest reports. Mr.. Bryant
was appointed vicar of the parish IN
1892, and in 1897. differences seem to
have arisen between him and some
of his leading people. The strained re-
lations grew worse until about two
years ago Mr.. Bryant found himself
with one supporter-his little daugh-
ter.
Sunday after Sunday has passed,
festival has succeeded fast, and Mr..
Bryant has gone on conducting his
services in a church empty but for the
little girl and an occasional stranger.
He is without choir and %organist.
has to act as his own bell ringer and
can find no one even to clean the
building. In March. 1904, the use of
the school building was refused to the
vicar by a meeting of the managers.
On Sunday the vicar conducted the
service as usual, but there was no one
present to join him, the sad incident
at the vicarage having deprived him
of his only follower.
