Launceston in general and the parishoners of St. Jolnt's Church, will be proud to know that the Bishop designate of the new diocese of St Arnaud (Vic) is a Launcestotn boy. He is now the Venierable Melville Charles James, Archdeacon of Ballarat, who not many years ago was a boy of St. John's. His sister, Mrs. M. C. Symmons, is still. with us. Like Mr. Claude James, M.H.A. his cousin, the Bishop designate was educated at the High School (Milton Hall), Frederick-street. . Whilst in business as an accountant he did useful work for the rector of St. John's, Launceston, by taking Sunday services in the small churches of the surrounding district. He was then appointed catechist in the Ballarat diocese, and ordained a deaon in 1901, and priest the following year. His business training made him a great organiser, and he rapidly rose from the position of curate of country churches to be Vicar of St. Peter's, Ballarat, and Rural Dean. In 1917 he was made Archdeacon of Maryborough, then Archdoeacon of Ballarat. St. John"'s "Parish Messenger" states:- He will be consicrated in St. Paul's Cathedral, Melbourne, on September 29, and enthroned at St. St. Arnaud the following day, and no doubt will take his place in the House of Bishops at the General Synod to be held in Sydney in October. .The diocese of Ballarat has just been sub-divided for the formation of the now See of St. Arnaud, comprising the whole of the North-Western part of the state of Victoria. This has been lmade possible by a handsome gift of .£10,000 for endowment by, Mr. Manifold. The new prelate will be known as the Bishop of St. Arnaud, the name of one of the towns within the area.

JENKIN, John Grenfell
Methodist Minister
Chaplain
Methodist Minister
Chaplain
John Grenfell Jenkin (1865-1966), Methodist minister, was born on 4 August 1865 at Kerrow Madron, Penzance, Cornwall, England, son of John Jenkin, shoemaker, and his wife, Elizabeth, née Grenfell. At 12 he came to Australia with his parents who, after a short period in New South Wales, settled at Daylesford, Victoria, as storekeepers. Educated locally, Jenkin worked as a clerk.
His family was closely associated with the Wesleyan Methodist Church and in 1890 Jenkin became a candidate for the ministry. He transferred to South Australia and after brief terms as assistant in four churches, he was in 1892 the first Methodist minister at Renmark, the new irrigation settlement. His first services were held under a gum-tree but he soon built a galvanized-iron church. After five years' probation and the completion of his studies Jenkin was ordained minister in 1895. A year as pioneer minister at Elliston, Eyre Peninsula, followed and then he volunteered for service in Western Australia.
In 1897-99 he was on the Menzies goldfields north of Kalgoorlie. Conditions were difficult:
he lived in a tent and, with dogged tenacity, cycled seventy miles (113 km) over camel pads between the two centres. With iron will and spirit he established a congregation and built the first church at Menzies. He then served in five Western Australian circuits, including Perth and Fremantle and twice at Kalgoorlie. He presided over the State conference in 1913. On 30 March 1904 at South Fremantle he had married Roberta Claudine Bernier De La Grange; they had two sons. Jenkin is remembered in the family as a rather severe but concerned family man. He was interested in youth work: the young men's club he established at Boulder had 200 members and he was a chaplain to the military forces in Western Australia in 1911-17.
In 1918 Jenkin returned to South Australia and spent three years at Kapunda. In 1921 he moved to Pirie Street which for the first six years of his ministry was part of the Adelaide Central Mission. Pirie Street was the leading church of South Australian Methodism; his predecessor had been the great preacher Henry Howard who had drawn huge congregations. Jenkin ministered here for twelve years and maintained the church's primacy as a preaching centre. He formed a young people's institute with spiritual, literary, music and recreation branches and was president of the South Australian Conference in 1931. Strongly evangelical, he fostered the Church's missionary work in the Pacific region. He retired in 1936 but took services for another twenty years. He was a keen artist, caricaturist and photographer and a collector of minerals and gem stones.
His ministry had been distinguished for its vigorous, purposeful preaching; his congregations were always large. He was also active in several community groups, notably Rotary and the South Australian Cornish Association: in the 1920s he was a popular speaker on Cornish subjects and singer of Cornish songs. Jenkin died on 7 November 1966 at 101 and was buried in Payneham cemetery. He had said that his long life was due to 'the goodness of God, the great devotion of his wife and … good ancestors'. He never 'sought anyone's favour nor feared anyone's frown'.

Charles Alfred Jenkins (1869-1955), Methodist minister, was born on 3 September 1869 at Maldon, Victoria, son of James Jenkins, miner, and his wife Cathrine, née Jeffrey, both from Cornwall. After completing his secondary schooling, Charles became a lay preacher and was accepted as a candidate for the Methodist ministry in 1893. The rapid expansion of Western Australia's population during the 1890s gold rushes prompted an appeal to the Victorian and Tasmanian Methodist conference for additional clergy, to which Jenkins responded in 1896. At Wesley Church, Perth, on 9 April 1902 he married 20-year-old Nellie Bertha Ida Thomas. Ordained that year, he held circuit appointments in turn at Northam, Coolgardie and West Perth, and subsequently ministered at Fremantle and Claremont.
In 1911 Jenkins was commissioned as chaplain in the Citizen Military Forces. He was twice appointed to the Australian Imperial Force in World War I, serving in troop-ships in 1915 and in England in 1917-19. While continuing in the Militia, he ministered at Subiaco and was superintendent (1923-28) of the Central Methodist Mission, Fremantle. In 1929 he was promoted to superintend the Perth Central Mission, at which he was based until his retirement in 1938. He published A Century of Methodism in Western Australia, 1830-1930 (1930).
The combination of Evangelical fervour, a dignified presence and a warm disposition ensured that Jenkins attracted large and loyal congregations to his inner-city missions. He preached with authority, and, as chairman of Wesley College council, lent strong support to the cause of education. Survived by his son and daughter, he died on 4 December 1955 at Claremont and was cremated.

JERGER, Charles Adolph
Catholic Chaplain
Interred Holdsworthy Camp
Catholic Chaplain
Interred Holdsworthy Camp
Charles Adolph Jerger (1869-1927), Catholic priest, was born on 5 January 1869 at St Blasien, Baden, son of Philip Jacob Morlock (d.1869), land surveyor, and his wife Wilhelmina, née Ellenwohn, a Catholic, and was baptised in his father's Evangelical faith. In 1870 or 1871 his mother married John Jerger, born at Niedereschach in 1842. They moved about 1875 to Plymouth, England, where Charles was educated at Beaconsfield College, and migrated to Sydney in 1888. He finished his schooling at Parramatta, worked in a jeweller's shop at Goulburn and there joined the Roman Catholic Congregation of the Passion on 10 April 1893. He made his profession on 9 May 1894 and was ordained priest at Goulburn on 21 May 1899. While based at Goulburn and, after April 1915, at Marrickville, Sydney, he preached in many parts of Australia.
After a sermon at Marrickville on 24 September 1916 a parishioner officially complained that Jerger had expressed disloyal sentiments calculated to discourage enlistment in the Australian Imperial Force. On investigation by the police he denied making any such statements and visited Melbourne to seek help from Hugh Mahon and explain his position to the minister for defence(Sir) George Pearce. He was interviewed by Major Edmund Piesse, head of military intelligence, and registered as an alien. Jerger had mistakenly believed himself to be a naturalized British subject: but his mother had not been naturalized when a widow and he was not covered by his stepfather's naturalization.
Late in 1917 Jerger was again accused of conducting an anti-British campaign and interned on 15 February 1918 under the War Precautions Regulations (1915). The charges against him were never specified. Leading churchmen, especially Archbishops Daniel Mannix and Michael Kelly, made efforts, and the Catholic Federation organized popular agitation, to secure his release; it was opposed by Protestant groups and the Loyalty League. Patrick Glynn repeatedly brought his case before cabinet and the Department of Defence. At the Holsworthy internment camp (where he was Catholic chaplain) Jerger was aggressive and volatile, claiming that he was persecuted and thwarted. His tactlessness and obstinacy did not help his cause.
A stipendiary magistrate, sitting as the Aliens Board, recommended that Jerger's internment be continued. In 1919 the royal commission on the release of internees twice considered Jerger's case and twice reported that the magistrate's decision should be upheld. Cabinet approved and the solicitor-general Sir Robert Garran advised deportation on 29 March 1920. In June Garran heard evidence from Fr Jerger, but reported that his attitude was German and that during the war he had expressed his German sympathies. Jerger's counsel Thomas Ryan was not allowed to appear. The failure to examine witnesses heightened the feeling that Jerger had been unfairly treated. Demonstrations were organized and court actions and the threat of strikes were used in an attempt to keep him in the country. The full bench of the High Court of Australia found that he had failed to establish that he was a British subject. John Wren and other supporters unsuccessfully challenged the validity of the War Precautions Act and issued writs of habeas corpus.
Jerger had been released on 30 April 1920 but was rearrested on 7 July. He was eventually deported from Adelaide in July. The issue was no longer a simple sectarian dispute: the labour movement protested at the deportation and there were bitter divisions in both Catholic and Protestant groups on the question of Jerger's loyalty and his right to remain in Australia.
After his deportation Jerger lived in Holland, Chicago, United States of America (where his brother was a doctor), Dublin and in England at Herne Bay, Kent. He died in London, after an operation, on 11 September 1927 and was buried in the grounds of the Passionist Monastery, Highgate.

REV. FATHER H. W. JONES
The death occurred suddenly at the Catholic presbytery, Yeppoon, on Sunday last of Rev. Father H. W.Jones.
Shortly before 5 a.m. that morning a parishioner, on his way to Mass, found the priest's body lying at the foot of the front steps of the presbytery and the indications were that suffering a heart attack to which he was subject. Father Jones left his bed to go out into the open air and collapsed on the verandah, falling down the steps.
The remains were brought to Rockhampton and conveyed to the Rockhampton cemetery for interment on Monday morning. In addition to a large number of the clergy, members of the Hibernian Society and the R.S.S.I.L.A. were present.
The Rev. Father Jones was born in Rockhampton in 1872. He joined the staff of Walter Reid & Co.
