Rev. Abert New, rector of Grace

three years, has tendered his resig
nation as rector of the local church
to take effect on October the first.
Air. New has accepted a call to be
come rector of the Church of the As
cension, Clearwater, P'la.
Regret is expressed by all the con
gregations m the community over
Mr. New's resignation. He has baen
an influential leader not only in re
ligious circles, but in the worthwhile
civic projects, in addition to render
ing his own church an inestimable
service.
His first ' work after his coming
to Grace church was the elimination
of an old debt of $1,000; then the in
stallment of the pipe organ at a cost
of $2,000, and the introduction of the
vested choir. This was followed by
further embellishments of the Parish
church in new electric fixtures and
chandeliers, alms bason, Collection
plates, processional cross, six memo
rial windows, carpet, altar hangings,
and dossal and a pipeless furnaee.
The Parish House was built at a cost
of $6,000. The entrance to the
church has been improved by rock
walls, sidewalk, and cement paths.
The improvements have totaled a
sum of $12,000.
Mr. New was born in Durham
England, in 1874. lie was educated
in the Boys' model school of that city
and in the University of Durham,
taking the bachelor's degree in 1894,
exhibitor and prizeman of sacred the
ology in 1898 and master of arts in
1897. In the same year he was or
dained to the ministry in Lichfield
Cathedral, England.
His first charge was in his native
country, as rector at Sturmer, Essex,
England, where he was located for
several years. While there he mar
ried Miss Dora Cower, who was or
ganist of the church.
Mr. New came America in 1908
and lived for a while in Philadelphia.
His first rectorate in this country
was in Weldon N. C, where he was
located from 1912 to 1915. He came
to Waynesville irt 1915 and has since
resided here as rector of Grace
church.
In addition to his church activities,
Mr. New has been prominent in the
Masonic circles, having been honored
with some of the highest positions in
the state. He has been the presiding
officer of all the four, bodies in Way
nesville the lodge, Royal Arch chap
ter, council and conimandery. In
the state he has served as grand pre-1
late of all four Masonic bodies. In
the Scottish Rite, he is a 32 degree
Mason. .
Mr. New's contact with the Clear
water church w-as made in the winters
of 1916 to 1920, as supply rector in
charge of the bid church. Since that
time a large new handsome stone
edifice has been erected. During the
past winter, Mr. New again served as
temporary rector.
