THE SEE HOUSE.
TO THE EDITOR.
Slß,—Now that our Anglican Synod are in sesaiou tbia seems to me (as having been through many generations an English Church member) the time to moot the following questions:—l. Is our church in New Zealand worthy of the name when we cannot say that "rich and poor meet together, for the Lord is the maker of them all ?" What with pew rents and high flown language, they fail to see or feel any "meek and lowly" Saviour amongst ua and stray to other folds. 2. Are we as a community to see £ISOO raised to foster church pride? Our Saviour said.: "The Son of Man had not where to lay His head," and I <?o qot suppose even St. Paul expected a See House. la the West of England we all met together Sunday after Sunday in our dear old parish church. We knelt at the same communion table (for we had no altars in those days), and the absence of the poorest parishioner was notioed and its cause ascertained. If matters do not alter, I and many more English Church members will form a congregation whioh preaches Christ, and Christ only, to rich and poor alike, so that we can meet one day in the week without preference of rank, but simply as belonging to one fold and one Shepherd, and travelling to one far-off happy home.—l am, etc, Auti See House Dunedin, October 29.
