TITTLE TATTLE GOSSIP.
.—: _ ' ■ ' PLAIN SPEAKING BY A BISHOP. (BY TELEGRAPH— EFECIA.L CORRESPONDENT.) Auckland, December 7. The utterances of the Anglican Bishop of Auckland (Dr. Neligan) are frequently very outspoken. • For instance, speaking at St, Sepulchre's Church Hall on the occasion of a gathering to welcome the Rev. H. Reeve, the now vicar, the Bishop referred to the unanimity with which the nomination hao. heen made. If all parochial nominations were conducted on similar lines, he said, it would be a good thing. "There is not. ai decent priest in tho diocese," he continued, "who will remain in the Church if he is going to be exposed to the tittle-tattle gossip of the market place, so to speak. "What has como'to my ears in connection with other parishes is of such a character that no'man worth calling a priest, worth calling a man at all, would expose himself to—this gossip and: open discussions of' himself and overy- , thing about'him in the street."
