Resigned license as Rector of St. Paul's Cathedral
REV. CANON J. A. CUE.
The Rev. Canon J. A. Cue has resigned his license as Rector of St. Paul's Cathedral parish to the Administrator, the Ven. Archdeacon G. H. Rogers, to accept the office of Rector of Toowong. Canon Cue has served many years in the Church of England ministry. Ordained to the deaconate by Bishop Wordsworth in Salisbury Cathedral, England, in 1900, he was ordained a priest in Ballarat in 1902 and laboured in the diocese of Ballarat and afterwards in Clunes, Koroit, and Wangaratta. After five years' work in Wangaratta, he spent three years with the Australian Imperial Forces, chiefly on the Somme with the 2nd Division of Artillery. In September, 1919, he was appointed Rector of St. Paul's Cathedral. In fact, he was nominated for both Rockhampton and Toowong, but Archbishop Donaldson, having pledged his word to Bishop Halford to support Canon Cue's nomination to Rockhampton, advised him to accept Rockhampton. This time Archbishop Sharp invited Canon Cue to accept the office of Rector of Toowong on the unanimous nomination of the parochial and diocesan councils. During their residence of five and a half years in Rockhampton Canon Cue and Mrs. Cue have endeared themselves to the parishioners of the Cathedral parish, as well as to many members of the Church of England throughout the diocese, while he has quite a large circle of friends amongst the general community, and their departure will be very genuinely regretted.

He performed valuable Service In the Diocese of Ballarat and Wangaratta, and he was Rector and Canon at Wangaratta Cathedral from 1910 to 1919. During the three years, 1916-19, he distinguished himself as a Chaplain with the A.I.F., being mentioned in despatches, and at the end of the war he took over as Rector and Canon at Rockhampton Cathedral until 1926, the canonical appointment being made in 1922. In 1925, Canon Cue went to St. Thomas's Toowong Parish, Brisbane, as Rector, and after four years there came to St. James' Cathedrals Sub-Dean, the appointment beginning in October, 1929, and lasting for ten years. Canon Cue, as be gives up the charge of the Townsville Cathedral has the almost unique distinction of having during his years of service had charge of no less than three cathedrals.
