■■ , I Mr J. H. Gunson, Mayor of Auckland, speaking at an old colonists' reunion in Auckland, this week, said:— "I believe it would be well for the nation if we could get back to that 'simplicity of purpose and honesty of .endeavour which characterised the old colonists, to that spirit of devotion in connexion with family life, which is one of the things we look 'back to and admire most in connexion with the lives of tie early pioneers, the decay of which the whole world deplores to-day. It ia for us to see that we honour tho example of thosfe who have gone before us, and that.we' introduce into our lives and' efforts something of the spirit tiiat actuated the splendid endeavours of our early colonists.''
