PRESBYTERIANS CONFER.
GENERAL ASSEAIBLY AT DUNEDIN. The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand opened its annual sessions at First Church last night. The Rev. J. Kilpatrick, Aloderator-elect, delivered his inaugural address to a large congregation on “The Head of the Church.” This morning a Communion service was held prior to the conduct of the ordinary business. Tbe report of the Life and Work Committee raised the question of” the attitude of the Church to dancing. Several speakers said the matter was one of urgent importance, and a strong committee was set up to consider the matter and report to the Assembly,. The evening session was largely devoted to the reception of the Foreign Mission report, and- addresses were given by missionary speakers from India. China and the New Hebrides. The feeling was expressed that in spite of the grave setback tbe mission in Canton had received through the antiforeign outburst,” it would all tend eventually to the firmer establishment of a native Christian church. The Governor-General (Sir Charles Fergusson) will visit the Assembly on Friday morning.
