Proachinjr in St. Hilda’s Church, Eastbourne, on Sunday, in connection with the proposed new central church primary day school for Wellington, the organising secretary (Rev. Bernard It. White) indicated some of the various factors that contribute towards a nation’s mental life and position in the world. The preacher contended that religion also had a part to play towards 1 lieformation of a nation’s character. The sturdiness of a people s outlook on life and their courage in meeting difficulty were largely due to their mental environment in youth and to the development of their spiritual faculty when young. It was only just to the child 'that every part of , his personality should bo developed in due proportion. Such development would assist, him to live his life, by preventing him from having a warped or aone-sided outlook. The church school had its contribution to make towards the life of the Dominion.
