The Rev. William Simpson Fernine

The Rev. William Simpson Fernine , Minister in charge of the Leith Street Congregational Church, is the second son of the Rev. J. Fernie, and grandson of the Rev. J. Fernie. He went to South Australia in 1883, to take charge of his brother's church at Kapunda during the absence of the latter on a prolonged holiday. He afterwards had charge of the Rose Park Church, Adelaide, for five years, and the Maitland Church, York Peninsula for eight years and a half. In 1897 Mr. Fernie came to Wellington, and was appointed to the Courtenay Place church. He removed to Dunedin to take charge of his present church in 1901.
