PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY.

SYDNEY, May 11. At the opening session of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church the Rev. Edwards, the new Moderator, in his inaugural address strongly pleaded for more liberal theology to meet present-day needs. He declared that our gospel was of life, and our doctrine must not be a repetition of forms of expression that were made what _ they are by controversies and questions once living but now dead.- If organised Christianity was to retain its hold upon educated people and to regain the hold it had lost it must have theology, which when challenged could prove itself to be advancing with human knoweldge and the development of moral consciousness.
