The founder of the Seventh Day Adventist Church in Now Zealand, the Rev. A. G. Daniells, returned to Auckland yesterday after an absence of 14 years. Forty-two years ago, Mr. Daniells, accompanied by Mrs. Daniells, who is also with him on hia present visit, arrived in Auckland, and in a lent pitched on the Ponsonby Road preached the Gospel according to the tenets of his Church. Later ho saw the church established in a permanent home in Auckland, and in other parts of New Zealand. Mr. Daniells has been a travelling pastor for the past 30 years, with headquarters in Washington, and his residence in America brought him into personal contact with tho President-elect, Mr. Herbert Hoover. Mr. Daniells described Mr. Hoover as a very fine man with high morals and a wide outlook on the worla's affairs. He came from an old Quaker family, and although not as strict as the old-time adherents of that faith, he was nevertheless a regular attendant at a littlo Quaker Church in Washington. He had never yet made a failure of any big undertaking, and Americans believed he would mnke a very fine President. With Pastor W. Fletcher, of Sydney, Mr. and Mrs.* Daniells will attend tho summer camps of the Seventh Day Adventist Church in Auckland and Christchurch, and Mr. Daniells will return to Sydney early in January.
