CHURCH LIFE.
Carried On Better Than Ever In England. N.Z. DEAN'S IMPRESSIONS. (Received 1.30 p.m.) MELBOURNE, this day. Dean Askew, of Nelson, New Zealand, interviewed after a nine months' trip abroad, said that religion in its widest sense, was carried out better than ever in England to-day, and the general tone of the community was improving.
The dean added that the life of the English people had been revolutionised by the motor car, but the growth of week-end motoring could not be said to be detrimental to the moral life of the country. On the contrary, it had broadened the outlook of many people and the attendances at churches were increasing. Extremists had exaggerated religious differences, but the average churchgoer was unperturbed by such things.
