ARCHBISHOP UNVEILS MEMORIAL TABLET

LATE MR. A. D. LUBECKI “To the glory of God and in grateful remembrance of Alois Duffus Lubecki, who passed into the higher life on July 26, 1926. As a noember of the General Synod of the province and of the Synod of the dioceses of Dunedin, Nelson and Auckland, and a regular worshipper in this church for the last 25 years of his life, he rendered conspicuous service to the Church of God and left behind him an example of loyal and loving devotion to Jesus Christ.” So reads the inscription on a brass tablet unveiled by Archbishop Ave.riil at the morning service in St. Matthew’s Church yesterday to the memory of the late Mr. A. D. Lubecki, for many years a member of the Synod of the Auckland diocese and for over 50 years actively associated with the Church of England. “He died full of years and honour,” said the archbishop. Mr. Lubecki’s sense of stewardship had been one of many Christian virtues that adorned his life. He had always been a good social worker, and almost all the branches of this work in the diocese had been helped by him in his life and remembered by him in his will. He had also helped to make one of the greatest extensions of the church’s work in the diocese that had ever been made. “Men like this are the greatest examples of the meaning of religion. Their lives, ideals and principles are woven into the Church, and God alone can estimate their value,” concluded the archbishop.
