Anglican Synod.
(By Telegraph.)
(Per Press Association.)
Dunedin, Dec. 28
The Anglican Diocesan Synod was opened to-day. Bishop Neville, in his address, after referring to the work of the Lambeth Conference, said that in his work on behalf of the diocess he had obtained a vote of £SOO for the See house from the Society for the Propogation of the Gospel, the society also setting aside £IOOO from the Marrott bequest towards the further endowment of the wardenship of the Selwyn College. From the Colonial Bishopric Council he had obtained a grant of £SOO for the See house, and from the Society for the Promotion of Christian Knowledge an equal sum, making £ISOO in all. From the lastnamed society he had also obtained grants towards the ejection of four new churches. The Bishop expressed satisfaction at the work of his commissary during his absence, and in referring with regret to the death of the Rev. T. L. Stanley said he regretted to find there were clergy whose stipends from all parts of their districts amounted to about what a single individual would pay for a servant. He earnestly besought churchmen to see that it is an injury to the cause and disgrace to the community that such a state of things is not speedily remedied.
