ROTARY CLUBS.
SEVENTH ANNUAL CONFERENCE,
Per Press Association
CHRISTCHURCH, Feb. 27.
The seventh annual conference of Rotary Clubs opened this morning, when the delegates were welcomed by the Mayor, Rev. J. K. Archer. The District Governor, Sir Alexander Roberts, in the course of an address, referred to the recently - published Papal announcement. It had caused the greatest surprise to all Rotarians in this country, lie stated. The movement cared nothing for either creed or politics. In every club there were many religions and all creeds worked together with one object. It would be a great disi aster it anything occurred to upset the harmony at present existing. In his own club, in Wellington, he could not tell the religion of one-quarter of the members, no more than their political leanings. It was a great pity that the question should have been raised. He hoped that the 53rd district would be quite clear of it.
