TREATMENT OF MISSIONARIES
Correction To Report
A report in “The Press” on Saturday that police had “brutally injured” missionaries in Rhodesia last year during questioning was not correct. Mr L. H. Hunter, chairman of the overseas mission board of the Churches of Christ, was reported as making this statement in a report on the work of the church in Rhodesia to the Dominion conference. “I have been asked to indicate to you that Saturday morning’s headline ‘Missionaries Brutally Injured by Police’ is a slight error,” says the Rev. R. M. O’Grady, minister of the Moorhouse avenue Church of Christ, in a letter to “The Press.” “The text should have read that many African Christians had been brutally injured, and the missionaries had stood by them. Although missionaries in nearby countries were sometimes persecuted there has been no incident of this kind in our mission in Rhodesia yet.” The error is regretted.
Child Injured.—John Leonard Kimber, aged four, of 11 Beanland avenue, suffered leg injuries when he was struck by a motor-cycle in front of 'his home. He was treated at 'the Christchurch Hospital.
