PRELATE AJfD PEER
If any proof had been needed of tho respect and. genui/j©,.affection in which Hr Davidson was held, both among members of his'own Church and adherent to other churches, that was amply provided upon his retirement from the Archbishopric in 1928. Tributes to the man and his work poured in from every part all tlife ! Empire and beyond and in order that his statesmanship slmuld not be lost'to Parliament when difficult problems, affecting Church and c -tnte were awaiting solution the King took tho unprecedented, course of making him a Peer. Tii the fiifteen months or so that Archbishop Davidson sat. In the House of Lords as, so to speak a private member,, fie was heard very rarely, but whepjjie did speak, as recently in reference to the Soviet Government’s persecution of religionists, lie commanded attention. Though he was old, and more than entitled to a rest from,,tremendous and often trying responsibilities, his inner fire remaintained ..undimmed until the last.—. Otago “Times.”
