New Rector of Kogarah.
The Rev. A. J. B. King, who, for the past two years has been rector of Holy Trinity, Miiler's Point, has commenced duty as rector of St, Paul's, Kogarah.
Trained for the ministry at Moore Theological College, Sydney, he was ordained deacon in 1808 and appointed to his first curacy at Kogarah, afterwards he served as curate at Wollongong and Erskineville. During his rectorship of St Stephen s. Kurrajong, a number of improvements were made and new work opened up. From that palish he went to the war, and served as chaplain having the honour of being asked to preach before his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales in Belgium.
In 1920 he accepted the position of curate in-charge of the provisional district of St Luke Clovelly where for 11 years he laboured bringing the district to a full parish and building a beautiful church. During his ministry there the debt of over £6000 on the church was reduced to £2500, and a fairly large sum was paid off the rectory debt.
