MANCHESTER UNITY.
—— MO COLOUR LINE DRAWN. I" BY TET.EORA Til. —PRESS A SSOCIATtON. ] MASTERTON, Tuesday. Speaking at a gathering of Wellington district lodges, at which a large number of the public were present, Mr. A. G. Slirimpton, gram! master of the New Zealand branch of the Manchester Unity, entirely dissociated the Manchester Unity from the pronouncement cabled recently from \ ancouver that the American Order of Oddfellows had refused the Australian Grand Lodge's application for admittance ot Maoris to the order. Iho Manchester Unity has no connection with the American Order," said Mr. Shrimpton. "We accept natives on the same plane as whites, for we realise that they are noble characters, and they are. as welcome as their fairer-skinned brethren. Our pohev is to accept. God s creatures as they are,' in the sincerest of good fellowship."
