An earnest desire to see young people become real patriots by becoming real personalities was expressed by Archbishop Averill in his charge Ito the Auckland Synod. “It is always refreshing to find in the young a real desire to do something worth while with their mental and spiritual endowments in response to the visions they have seen,” he said. “There is no higher service that youth can render to the church and to the country than real patriotism. The true patriot seeks I not merely to defend his country but | to make his country more and more | worth defending. The imitative facul- | ty, however, is not the highest en- ; dowment of human nature, and merely to bo reflectors of class or set or political party is not the best way of developing one's own personality or one’s own God-given faculties."
