The stone is set in the enstern wall of the Christchurch Cathedral. Lord Galwav paid a notable tribute to Archbishop Julius and his work for the Church, the city and the* people. "I approach this address with Wsenso of deep humility, because I feel inadequate to express all I know you would like me to say about such a wellloved man as the archbishop," His Excellency said. "Being a layman, it is difficult to appraise adequately the great and outstanding qualities of such a fine churchman as Archbishop Julius. I did not know him during his active Church life, but came to know him in the last few years before his death, and I do know that for many years he commanded the esteem of all people, who* valued his outstanding ability and wonderful personality.

"As soon as Lady Galwayvahdl met him, we felt under the -speJJ of his charming manner., J'o lp. : «utstanding character as a leader in the community he added the quality/of always being a staunch friend and sound adviser, and he had, too, that' magic gift of being able to bridge the difference between the old and the young. His whole character was inspired by a delightful sense of humour, which made him pass so easily in conversation, and made him so popular with all people. Even in his fine old age, when those infirmities which beset okl age came on him, the archbishop showed the greatest fortitude and courage."
