Also assuring the Minister of Education of the Lodge's profound agreement with the decision of Cabinet to maintain free undenominational education in New Zealand, and expressing sympathy with the Minister upon attacks made on him. Another drawing the attention of the ActingPrims Minister to the intensely objectionable reference to shrines and crucifixes in letters of sympathy which arc being sent out by the High Commissioner. One drawing the attention of the Acting-Prime Minister to the fact that a custom is being established by Roman Catholic authorities of celebrating Mass in public places of the Dominion, and asking the Government to take, steps to prevent what is little short of an outrage upon Protestant sentiment. Finally a resolution protesting against the presence at the Vatican of representatives of the Court of Si. James.
