BIBLE IN SCHOOLS
TRIBUTES TO RETIRING SECRETARY
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, April 18. The Dominion Council of the Bible in Schools League at its last meeting passed the following minute concerning the retirement of the Rev. E. O. Blamires from the position of organising secretary of the New Zealand Bible in Schools League:— “The council, on the occasion of the retirement of its secretary, the Rev. E. O. Blamires, after 18 years in office, desires to place on record its deep appreciation of his devoted and outstanding services. The council is convinced that it is largely due to his untiring advocacy that the league has established itself in the mind of the public as the agency of the churches, for securing the religious instruction of children in our primary schools. “Mr. Blamires has not spared himself and he has combined with his enthusiasm a remarkable ability in sustaining and administering the financial position and affairs of the league. The council wishes him Godspeed and every happiness in his retirement, and looks forward to his continued help.”
