The Rev. William Edward Lush. M.A., Cambridge, Vicar of Epiphany Church, Grey Lynn, was born in the province of Auckland, in 1862, and is the son of the late Rev. Vicesamus Lush, sometime incumbent of St. George's, Thames. He was educated at the Church of England Grammar School. Parnell, Auckland; and Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, England, where he took the degree of B.A. in 1883, and the M.A. degree in the ordinary course in 1886. After leaving Cambridge, Mr. Lush underwent a course of studies at Cuddesdon Theological College. In 1885 he was ordained to the curacy of Aberdare, South Wales, by the Bishop of Llandaff. In 1886 Mr. Lush left for Wellington, New Zealand, and was appointed curate to the Rev. John Still, St. Paul's Pro-Cathedral, and remained there to the end of 1889, when he removed to Wool-loongabba, Bzisbane, and acted as curate there until 1891, when he returned to Auckland, and took temporary charge of the Mount Albert district. Afterwards he accepted the post of vicar of Epiphany Church, Newton, now Grey Lynn. During his tenure of office at Epiphany Church, Mr. Lush has considerably reduced the parish debt, although none of his congregation are wealthy.
