RELIGION IN ENGLAND.
INFLUENCE OF MOTOR-CAR. (UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION —BY ELECTBIC TELEGBAPH—COPYRIGHT.) MELBOURNE, NoYember 6. 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 was revolutionised by the motor-car, but the growth of weekend motoring could not be said to be detrimental to the moral life of the country. To the contrary, it had broadened the outlook of many people, and attendances at churches were increasing. Extremists exaggerated religious differences, but the average churchgoer was not perturbed by such things.
