CENTRAL MISSION.
Rev. E. 0. Blamires at the Central Mission yesterday ref-eraed to the remarks nude by Bishop Stretch, of Newcastle, to the effect that No-license was not in accoi dance with true democratic principles and that if it were adopted it would put all the morality out of the trade. Mr. Blamires held that the best way to ensure the morality of the Trade was to close the bars. Mr. Blamires expressed a hope -that his denunciation of Bishop Stretch would not be .taken as a denunciation of the Church of England as a whole. If there was a Bishop of Newcastle there was a Bishop- of Christchurch who was heart and sf<ul in sympathy with the No-iicense cause. Mr. Blamires also leferred to the fcjouth Australian Labour Premier's views on the temperance question, and expressed his pleasure that Labour as a party now recognised the Temperance Party as its friend and wap in accoid with its principles. The Silver Band led the hymns, and Miss .Clark sang "Jesu, Lover of My Soul." There was a large congregation.
