PRESBYTERIAN FEAR
COMMUNIST TEACHING. (Per Press Association). AUCKLAND. June IL ”1 find that the work of the Ministry grows increasingly difficult', as the impac't of Communist philosophv is felt from overseas, and spreads through the community generally. 1 am sure great changes are coming, and we are not ready to meet them.” This extract from a reply, given to the Committee of Visitation., by the Rev. E. J. Tipler, of Mt. Eden Presbyteri.an Church, was read to the Auckland Presbytery.
More, than one member of the Presbytery said tlia't he regarded the statement as being of serious import, and it was decided to refer it to the Public Questions Committee to consider and report to the next meeting of the Presbytery.
The moderator!, /Rev. W. P. Rankin, said that he considered it a sign of weakness if their Ministers were not prepared to meet this propaganda. Many of their Ministers were already meeting it effectively.’’
