A BISHOP'S THANKS
"When I arrived just a year ago tomorrow, I never dreamed that a stranger from England and his family would so soon be led to know that they were being given a home, not only in a renovated Bishopscourt, but also in the hearts of the people, clerical and lay, of the diocese," stated the Bishop of Wellington, the Rt. Rev. H. St. Barbe Holland, in his address to the Anglican Synod this afternoon. From the moment he set foot on the wharves of Wellington he had experienced countless acts of kindness and thoughtfulness, personal and official, from pakeha and Maori "No diocese," continued the Bishop, "can ever have tried so hard and succeeded so well in making the path of its new Bishop as smooth as a bishop's path can ever be. Even the motorists of New1 Zealand have conspired to speed me every day along the excellent roads of the diocese by keeping out of my way, save for one who evidently thought it his (duty to prove that-the roads do not belong to me by running into me and bringing me to a very sudden sland- | still."
