DOMAIN STATUE.
CHURCHMEN'S ATTITUDE. CRITICISED BY METHODIST. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) CARTERTON, Wednesday. The Rev. W. J. Elliott, of Auckland, ex-president of the New Zealand Methodist Conference, who is now visiting Carterton, had his attention drawn to the Auckland Council of Christian Congregations' attitude to the nude statue at the Auckland Domain. "I think the statue a disgusting sight | and a degenerate travesty upon Grecian 1 athletic art," he said. "It is pitiable I to see the attitude of inoffensive | suavity assumed towards it by the j Council of Christian Congregations, i Surely the Church is in tepid mood, and j is drawing the silken cord of a false; peace over every great conviction and i duty."
