WIDE-SPREAD DIOCESE OF 500,000 SQUARE MILES
A FTER a holiday in England, Archdeacon H. W. Simpson is on his way back to the lonely north-west of Australia. He labours in a diocese which covers 500,000 square miles, where the majority of his 4,000 parishioners are scattered over many sheep stations.
The most vivid impression of England the Archdeacon is taking back with him is the wonderful improvements to the roads. He has not been there for seven years, and he thinks the change is amazing.
Every year the Archdeacon covers between 6,000 and 7,000 miles in his car, calling on his parishioners.
The thought of a lonely life does not worry him. He said yesterday afternoon on the Niagara that he was happy to be going back to his work.
