London, Dec. 15.-The Thestic
Church, q heterodoX organization

little building. once a Huguenot chapel.
in Swallow street just off Piccadilly.
has disappeared from the Sunday list
Of religious services. Its founding by
the late Charles Noysey was a sensa-
tional event in the religious world dur
ing the seventies. When the Rev
Voysey was expelled from the Anglican
church after being tried and found
guilty of heresy, he carried a num-
Der of followers with him. His doctrine
was of the Unitarian order, and his
service was aided by high class music
At his death three years ago, the pas
torate was given to Dr. Walter Walsh
once the central figure in a heresy trial
and well known as a mOderniSt and a
Democratic worker in civic affairs in
Dundee. DR.. Walsh occupied the pulpit
for two years.
But the congregation dwindled to
such an extent that the church seemed
unable to support itself.
