METHODIST CONFERENCE.
t. g. McCarthy trust. NO FURTHER ADVANTAGE TO BE TAKEN. (BY TELEGRAPH PRESS ASSOCIATION.) AUCKLAND, March 4. The decision was made by the New Zealand Methodist Conference to-day to take no further advantage of the benefits of the T. G. McCarthy Trust, in view of the fact that .it was stated that it derived much of its revenue from interests allied to the liquor trade.
A lengthy discussion was held in committee on a remit from the Hawke’s Bay-Manawatu Synod, strongly protesting against the Wellington ;* Methodist charitable and education endowment trust applying for money from the McCarthy tTust for the Masterton •orphanage, which has received £2OO a year for the past three years. On the conference resuming in open council it was stated that no further adv antage of the - trust would be taken, and that this year’s application for a donation for the Masterton orphanage would be withdrawn. It was decided that if the amount had already been granted it would be returned. Attention was also drawn to the fact that the name of the Public Trustee had been appended to a statement advertising the gale of liquor, and a resolution was passed protesting against this.
