At Auckland on Friday, the At lingPrimate, his Lordship Bishop Julius, in the course of ail address fit ihe opening of the session of the General Synod, stated that in the report of the General Synod of 1863, was the name of Henry Harper. Archdeacon of Westland. From the year — 1857 to .that of his retirement, he served the Church of this Province with wholehearted devotion; 111 1912 he returned to England, and died this year. Many present would remember the fine presence of the man ,his skill and courtesy in debate, the influence due to his strong judgment and wide experience. He was a thorough gentleman, and the host work of his life was done among the diggers of the West Const. It might said that he represented that distinctive type of the Anglican priesthood which had won to the Church so much honour in the past, and would yet serve to mitigate the rudei’ manners of a la,ter age. Bishop Julius referred to the death of Henry Purelias, Canon of Christchurch, and for one year a member of the General Synod, removed one of those quiet men of learning, and research whom the Church would ill afford to lose. There was no Church in Christendom more careless of its records than the Chinch of New Zealand. Much work had been done by the late Canon Purohas in remedying the lamentable state of affairs. The Synod would he well advised to go further in the matter before it wfis too late.
