“APPLIED CHRISTIANITY”
SOCIAL. LEGISLATION MR. SAVAGE WELCOMED VISIT TO KAIAPOI (Per Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, this ddy. “If care for the poor, improvements in the conditions of old age pensioners and the drafting of invalidity pensions is socialism, then I want to give it another designation, and to say that to me it is applied Christianity.” Thus said the Mayor, the Rev. W. H. A. Vickery, when welcoming the Rt. Hon. M. J. Savage at Kaiapoi this morning. Mr. Savage was applauded vigorously on replying to a welcome tracing the directions in which the Government had endeavoured to help the people. The Prime Minister said he and his colleagues wanted to see mothers, fathers and children secured against poverty. To help the mothers was one of the big objectives and, in that direction, the family allowance was being doubled, and it would have to be doubled again before it reached anything like what it took to keep a child.
