SEVERE ECONOMIES
PRESBYTERIAN THEOLOGICAL COLLEGE. (31 TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCUTI3N.) CHRISTCHURCH, 26th Nox The Presbyterian General Assembly Continued its deliberations to-day. The report of the Theological College Committee appealed fof more funds. During discussions on the report, the E«v. A. M. Finlayson supported the appeal. Ha said that the greater part of the cost of carrying on the college, including tho salaries of the professors, was provided by endowments administered by the Senate of Otago and Southland. The Rev.' J. Paterson' (Christchurch) moved as an addition: "That the Theological Committee be instructed, in conjunction with the- Finance Committee, *.o consider the question of raising an adequate endowment and scholarship fund for the Theological College, and feport to the next Assembly." M r . Paterson said it was time the church faced its duty to the college, and to ' the students. The committee -was to be commended for its economies. He was not proud of the sum which the church had subscribed;, he considered it a disgrace. The Rev. W. J. Comrie (church treasurer), criticised the committee for reducing its deficit heavily in one year by means of rather severe economies, instead of spreading the effort over three or four years. The amendment was adopted, together with the committee's report.
