In the Anglican Sunday School last night the Rev, Eustace Jellicoe Rogers, vicar here for the past three years, was entertained by his parishioners and friends prior to his departure for Egypt to assume the duties of military chaplain in Cairo Hospital. Mayor Windeyer made the presentation of a purse of sovereigns to purchase altar vessels and a wristlet watch. The Revs. Monsignor Tracy (R.C.), W. Tulloch (Presbyterian), T. Starr (Methodist), and others expressed the kindliest sentiments towards the departing guest, and commended his action in volunteering. The rev. gentleman, who was in uniform, disclaimed any heroic attributes, stating that his decision was only arrived at after earnest consideration and from a sense of duty, he being specially qualified, having had previous military experience, though not in actual warfare. Referring to the wrench of parting from his wife and child, he commended them to the care of the congregation and friends, relying on their prayers for strength to carry out his duties, which, he realised, would tax all his strength. The Rev. Reginald McCoy, of Sunshine, who is taking charge of the parish during Mr. Rogers's absence, was introduced and welcomed. Musical items were given by Mrs.Peers, Miss Lowec, Messrs. Everitt, Watson, Bottoms and Harrison. Miss Harrison was the accompanist. The hall was tastefully decorated. Mr. Rogers expects to leave any day to catch the boat at Melbourne.
