THE CHIEF RABBI.
A CIVIC RECEPTION. [Pf.r Press Association.] WELLINGTON, May 10. The Chief Rabbi, Dr Hertz, was welcomed at Wellington at a civic reception. Expressing thanks for the cordiality of his welcome, lie remarked that lihei tv and toleration were tho reigning factors of the life of the people of New Zealand. This was specially welcome in view of the wave of intolerance sweeping across Western countries. New Zealand had the healthiest climate and people, and the country wsa the experimental laboratory of intellectual ideas and civilisation. People realised that the clock ol\progress sometimes needed winding, and that constant, violent winding caused the clock to stop. The ideal of tolerance and liberty seemed nearer realisation in the southern hemi-
sphere than in the northern. He was not sure it had not already been realised.
