HIS PERSONAL WORTH
. REW. L. M. ISITTS TRIBUTE. . In a personal tribute tho Rev. Xi. M. ■leitt says:—"Lot onr readers believe it or not I am certain that, given the larger platform of British politics, in six months Mr T. 13. Taylor would have ' stood shoulder to shoulder with Lloyd George, John Barns, Winston Churchill, and tho like, and that his opponents would ’have winced under tho fiery invective or logical criticism that becamo so familiar to us hero. But I think that it is not so much his ability as his individual worth that looms largo to-day. ft have tried/ said ho in a few whispered words of farewell, T have made ■many mistakes, but I have tried to live an unselfish lifo for tho good of tho •many/ Tho words were said humbly, ■pleadingly, but what man at tho end of the journey can mako a nobler claim, and who that is familiar with tho whole life—boy and man, lived hero in Christchurch—will not testif\-_lhat Mr Taylor ■did not try in vain?"
