NEW GRAND MASTER.
The Rev. W. J. Gray, of the Auburn Presbyterian Church, was elected Grand Master of the Loyal Orange Institution of Now South Wales for the current year, at the annual meeting of that organisation. The Rev. W. J. Gray, who has been associated with the Loyal Orange Institution for a great many years, and who occupied the office of Grand Chaplain for several years, saw service as a chaplain with the A.I.F., being attached to the Tunnelling Company, with the rank of captain. An Australian by birth, he was educated at St. Andrew's College, and holds the B.A. degree. He accepted a call to the Auburn Presbyterian Church upon his return from the war. He was minister of the Presbyterian Church at Waratah, Newcastle, for several years.
