CHURCH REUNION
LORD BLEDISLOE'S' HOPE
"I cannot help wondering if you realise how very near to the heartsyof Her Excellency and myself is the need for its extension," said Ilia ' Excellency - the GovernorGfeneral, Lord. Bledisloe, in opening the new dormitory block at the Waikato Diocesan School for" Girls on Monday (says the "Waikato. Times"). "I hope—indeed, I believe —we are not far away from a great reunion of Christian Churches. (Applause.) I am satisfied that we could consolidate the forces of Christianity and carry the teachings of the Gospel far further by reunion than by continuing in separate camps. Like my friend the- late Lord Davidson, and the Bishop, of Gloucester, of my own diocese, I am a keen advocate of Church reunion. I would like to see, this reunion movement initiated in Now Zealand, and I feel sure it would bo a great example to the Empire and to tho world."
