A Famous Churchman.

Very Rev. Frederick W. Farrar, dean of Canterbury, was, when taken ill lately, 70 years old. He was ordained

deacon in 1854 by the bishop of Salisbury, and three years later was admitted into holy orders by the bishop of Ely. Until 1871 he was one of the masters at Harrow, and for five years thereafter was head master of Marlborough college, a position he held with great distinction. Among his other offices was that of honorary chaplain to the queen and chaplain in ordinary. In 1883 he was appointed archdeacon of Westminster, and in 1895 he was appointed dean of Canterbury. Dean Farrar has written voluminously upon religious topics, but his fame will rest upon his "Life of Christ,” which was published in 1874.
