THE PRIMACY
PROPOSED CENTRALISATION IN WELLINGTON. The Anglican Bishop of Chrisfcjhurch fl7r. JuTius) made somo intorasring remarks regarding the Prim-icy in the course of his address in opii'ng tLe Ohristchuroh Diocesan Synod. Dr. .Tnlius expressed his conviction that, unless the Primacy was centralised in Wellington, tho Church in Now Zealand wonld suffer a great loss of power and efficiency in tho coming years. 'Ihe General Synod was a conservative body, but it would have to rocognise facts sooner or later. As senior bishop it was tis duty tr bring the mat Mr' forward. New Zealand must have a Primaticfil See or Archbishopric, and for want of it they had no central organisation, no Church House, no refuge for the valuable legal and historical documents scattered about the Dominion. Tho best leadership would be secured rather by direct election to tho office than by the appointment of the senior bishop ex officio.
