"A GREAT VENTURE."
IN MAORI MISSION WORK. THE GREATEST CRISIS. (By Telegraph.—Special to -'Star.") WELLINGTON this day. ', The proposal to appoint a bishop for the Maori people was referred to by Bishop Sprott at the opening of the Wei« lington Diocesan Synod this afternoon. Immediately after the session in December the bishops conferred with the Maori Synod. The discussion was entirely good-tempered, and marked by the courtesy characteristic of the race. No definite conclusion was reached. It was felt that much more consideration was required before a wise and generally acceptable appointment could be made. Another conference would be held in Wellington on August 6, when it was hoped an appointment would be made.
,r We are making a great venture.' , he continued, "and it should be made in prayer of faith. The mission has reached the greatest crisis in its history. So radical a change in its constitution ami method of working may either mean infusion of new life and vigour into what at earlier stages was at once the most successful, as it was the most romantic, of modern missions, or which, God forbid, may mean irreparable disaster.''
