Houclien, M.G., at the reception given him at Auckland on Monday night 011 his return from the front." Mr Houchcn remarked that lie knew churchpeople were much divided 011 the question, but 1-e had found at the front that when two lighted candles were placed upon the altar at celebrations of the Holy Communion they seemed to convey to the mind an idea of the light and warmth of the presence of God. Ho had found them a help, and when he became Piishop of Auckland (laughter) he would enjoin the clergy to use them.
