PERSONAL.
Your Bishop and Mrs. Gerard have been deeply moved by the warmth of the welcome accorded to them by the Clergy and Laity of the Diocese as represented by the members of Synod and their relatives, and by the church people of Hawke's Bay. The completeness of the preparations made by the bean and those associated with him made possible the reverent and beautiful ministration of the Services of Consecration, and of Enthronement, m which the large congregations joined with a devotion illustrative of the fellowship and loyalty for which Waiapu is justly famed. His Grace Archbishop Averill, m conducting the Consecration, was taking part m such a service m Napier on no less than the sixth occasion, the first being that of himself as Bishop of Waiapu m 1910. The sermon delivered by the Bishop of Aotea-roa on the evening of October 30th was an inspiration to all, and a splendid affirmation of the loyalty of our Maori clergy and lay people to their Diocese arid- Bishop of WaiapU.
