TRIBUTES PAID
RETIRING ARCHBISHOP SYNOD AT AUCKLAND (l’er Press Association.) AUCKLAND, this day. Warm touching tributes to Archbishop Averill were paid yesterday when the Auckland Anglican Synod took leave of him. The archbishop retires as Bishop of Auckland on March 31. Deep regret was expressed that the present official bond between the bishop and the people would soon be broken. Stressing that he did not want a formal farewell, the archbishop said that when one had spent the better part of a lifetime in a position, the best thing was to get away quietly.
