Midland Churches: A History of the Congregations on - General ...

Saviour, Birmingham. In 1898, 1%. Lummis accepted <strong>the</strong> ministry <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>
Park Street society, Hull, and was followed at West Bromwich by <strong>the</strong>
present minister, who was, for some time, connected with <strong>the</strong> Episcopal
Church, in Australia, but a change in his convictions led to secession.
Under his ministry, and working on ground well sown by Mr. Harrison,
high hopes are entertained that this society is entering on an era <strong>of</strong>
unprecedented activity.
