NEW YEAR’S HOPES
EXPRESSIONS MADE IN CHURCHES PRAYERS FOR KING From the pulpits of Auckland’s churches yesterday, hopes of increased happiness during the New Year were expressed. Ministers offered thanks and gratitude for the progress of 1928. “Our thoughts go out at this time to the King,” Canon Grant Cowen said at St. Matthew’s Church. “We pray that good news will be brought in the New Year. In our national life, we hope that unemployment will disappear and that economic conditions will improve.” Speaking at St. Mary’s Cathedral, Parnell, Canon James reviewed the year as it had affected the congregation. Watch-night services will be held this evening at St. Matthew’s and the Baptist Tabernacle.
