BISHOP JULIUS AT HOME AGAIN.
The most notable of a large number of passengers on board the Ruahine which arrived in New Zealand waters on Monday last was Bishop Julius, the most popular divine south of the line. It was hoped by the Auckland people that the Bishop would have been able to lecture in their city, but it was not to be. The prelate felt it incumbent on him to return forthwith to Christchurch, notwithstanding the pressing invitation from Bishop Cowie to stop a few days in Auckland. Bishop Julius looked greatly benefited by the trip, and in a few moments’ conversation with a Graphic representative expressed himself as highly pleased with his visit to the Old Country, and the kindness and hospitality shown himself and his family on every side. He had a very busy time, and was greatly interested in the social work which now absorbs so much of the energy and attention of the church. He has received the promise of some very handsome decorations for his cathedral—a fact which will be extremely pleasing to the people of Christchurch. Our picture is from an excellent amateur photo by Mr Pitt, many of whose artistic sun pictures have already been reproduced in the Graphic. Our best thanks are due to his courteous loans and donations.
