MEETINGS BEGUN WITH PRAYER

RICCARTON COUNCIL’S DECISION Wide appreciation of the Riccarton Borough Council’s decision to open all its meetings with the Lord’s Prayer was reported to the council on Monday evening by the Mayor (Mr H. S. S. Kyle, M.P.). • Mr Kyle said that on the morning after the last meeting, when the observance was first made, his telephone rang almost continuously. Every call brought a message of appreciation. Since then he had received more than 80 letters from all parts of New Zealand, including Auckland, Oamaru, Nelson, Wellington and Hastings. The letters came both from private persons and from church organizations. Six letters had arrived in the last four days. Mr Kyle read to the council one of the most recent letters. It was from a woman in Wellington who wrote: “It was a great thing to do and a great example, and I trust that very many people will follow your lead.” Mr Kyle added that he was replying to all the letters.
