HOSPITAL DAY IN PALMERSTON
FBt Tble<.raph.— Special to The Post.l PALMERSTON N., This Day. The Plospital Day collections this year are likely to be affected by the raising of the sectarian issue. The committee which was making the arrangements for the collection derided that the receipts should bj. proportionately divided between the Hospital,. the Plunket Nurse Society, the St. John Ambulance Nurse, and All Saints' Children's Home, the latter being a denominational institution under the control of the authorities of the Church of England. The Presbyterian, Methodists, Congregational, and Baptist clergymen have, therefore, written to the press protesting emphatically against the non-Angli-cans of this community being appealed to by the Hospital Day Committee for funds for an institution which has as one of its objects the educating of children as Anglicans, and stating that if benevolent work connected with tho churches is to receive aid, other churches besides the Anglican Church may put in a claim.
