MAYOR’S CONGRATULATIONS
Mr Jordan said he should like, on behalf of the district, to express sincere and grateful appreciation of the honour his Excellency had done them| in coming to that function. Might he] say with all sincerity and with all due respect that this country had been always singularly fortunate in the choice of his Majesty’s representatives in New Zealand. They had associated themselves with the national life and had helped to solve national problems and had been ever ready to point the way by example Io service that had a very real spiritual value. The service that had thus been pointed out was in the very form of civic duty on the pattern of each for all. Of Sedgley as an institution, Mr Jordan said he regarded it as a practical work of Christianity carried out by the church. It provided an outlet for service that must appeal to every one of us —an opportunity to assist those who were not now in a position to help themselves. He congratulated the Anglican Boys’ Home Society upon the work it was doing and upon the progress of the work in this district <Applause).
