CLEAN YOUTH.
NEED TO COMBAT EVIL. METHODIST MINISTER’S VIEW. (Per Press Association. > DUNEDIN, This Day. In his address at opening of the Otago-Southland Methodist Synod this morning, the Rev. C. H. Olds referred to the disturbing disclosures of the McMillan report on abortion, which, he said, was more disquieting because they knew the evil was even more widespread than the report showed. Mr Olds said that no sweeping condemnation was adequate or even just. The subject called for thorough investigation with a large measure of sympathetic- understanding, particularly in regard to the economic social conditions that constituted such an important factor. While the Church must stand behind measures to combat evil, her most potent sphere of influence was through the Christian home, Sunday School, and Bible class. She must send into the current of public life a constant stream of healthy clean youth, aggressively loyal to the principle of absolute purity, challenging impurity by a free radiant life.
