SACRAMENTAL WINE.
STATEMENT BY BISHOP JULIUS
WELLINGTON, December 11. The following letter has been received by the Press Association from; the Acting-Primate of New Zealand:-—- ---''' My attention has been called to a statement attributed to the Rev. Mr Hammond to the effect that when National Prohibition is carried, the churches will cease to use fermented wine in the sacrament of holy communion, as his own had already done. As this ambiguous statement has been very widely circulated, I think it right to say that tho!;use of unfenr.ented wine in the Holy Communion is absolutely unlawful in the Church of England, and no action of the State will be allowed to invalidate the blessed sacrament. It is fair to Mr Hammond to say that he distinctly repudiates the statement attributed to him and that he is fully aware that the use of fermented wine in the Holy Communion under National Prohibition is expressly provided for. (Signed) C. Christchurch, Acting-Primate." -
