FUTURE OF SUNDAY SCHOOLS
The Rev. E. P. Blamires, an expresident of the New Zealand Methodist Conference, represented the Dominion at the recent conference in Britain, states "The Post's" London correspondent. He said that he shared with the conference "a sense of the gravity in the decline in Sunday schools, and believed that it was a symptom of something in the Church as a whole." He added that the decline in New Zealand had only just commenced and had not yet reached very great proportions. He had no hope that the Sunday school, as at present constituted, would be equal to the situation, nor could it be made equal by patching it up. A drastic situation required drastic, even revolutionary, treatment, he said.
