YOUNG AT 101.

OLDEST SYDNEY CLERGYMAN. The older the Rev. Septimus Hun gerford grows the younger he feels, he savs. No one could possibly, for his years, be more hale and hearty than this venerable clergyman who lives at Cremorne, one of the harbour suburbs, and who celebrated his 101st birthday last week. He has lived in Sydney practically all his life, and apart from Chutrch work—he attends service every Sunday—takes a tremendous interest in polities. For many years he was prominent in public movements, being associated more than half a century ago with Bishop Wentworth and Dr. J. D. Lang. , Possessed to a remarkable degree of all his faculties, Mr. Hungerford loves nothing so much as to talk about old times. He has not much of an opinion of the majority of men in polities now. He says the standard was very much higher in the old days. He broadcasted this message to politicians on his birthday: "Be steadfast; work for the State, not for yourselves, as so many of you are doing. i r ou will gain no ultimate reward from your selfishness." In addition to the Anglican Church, of which Mr. Hungerford is, of course, its oldest" minister —it need hardly ibe said that he now lives in retirement—every other church associated itself with the birthday congratulations.
