BRITAIN’S MISSION
p.A. CHRISTCHURCH. May 23. The first Empire Day commemoration service, was held in the Christchurch Cathedral to-day. There was a large congregation. An address was given by the High Commissioner for the, United Kingdom in New Zealand, Sir Patrick Duff, who said the world to-day needed more than ever the poise, judgment, and stability that were the hallmarks of the British stock. Britain’s mission was far wider than Britain by geography, experience. practical idealism, and political maturity. Britain had a place to fill which none else could fill yet in the world.
