Comments
(Molong Argus - 15 April 1904) "Cudal. Official Opening of St James' Church. On Sunday last the new building erected for St James' Church was officially opened by Bishop Camidge, of Bathurst. In the morning the Bishop delivered an address, taking his text from 1st Chronicles, 20th chapter, and part of the 16th verse - "Arise therefore, and be doing, and the Lord be with thee". His Lordship stated it was the first of this particular kind of building he had seen in one Diocese, and thought it reflected great credit upon the district, and explained that as a debt was still owing upon the church it could not be consecrated until that was paid off, hence his reason for adopting the text referred to."
