CHURCH CONGRESS OPENED
THE' ARCHBISHOP’S SERMON,
[Per United Press Association.]
CHRISTCHURCH, May 22. The Church Congress opened with Choral Eucharist service in the Cathedral, and a procession of about 100 clergy, including many visiting bishops. The sermon was preached by Archbishop Julius, who said the congress was sacramental, and although many controversial subjects would be raised, the delegates would get their light through the spirit of God. Regarding spiritual healing, the archbishop said he had been afraid that when people came together and failed to get that which they sought they would sink back into greater despair; but he had realised that tlds was not so, and while»a man might not “ take up his bed and walk,” he would learn to look up to God and get greater strength. This should be the attitude of the delegates to the problems coming before them.
