PEOPLE.

Rev. L. N. Suttons View.

.The induction of the Rev. Leonard

[Neville Sutton as rector of St. John's,

Ashfield, is likely to be delayed till the

first week in August.

Mir.Sutton said yesterday that when he entered upon his new duties he Intended to concentrate upon work among young people There are abundant signs he said of a searching by youth for spiritual truth which the elders have found so comforting. All they need are a little sympathy and en-

couragement.

He attaches some importance to the musical side of worship in which St Johns Ashfield has been so fortunate in the past. Secular coincidences are to be found in Mr. Suttons own experiences.
