EASTER SERVICES IN PACIFIC
(Official War Correspondent) PACIFIC HEADQUARTERS, April 10. In island camps over the scattered 1600 miles Pacific front New Zealanders of the 3rd Division held well-at-tended Easter services this weekend. The first official duties of the new senior padre, Bishop G. V. Gerard, were to conduct services at a number of Solomons camps only the day after his arrival from New Zealand. Fully appropriate at the war’s fifth Eastertide was the bishop’s analogy: “God voluntarily accepted the worst man could do to man.”
