CHURCH CONSTITUTION.
CHANGES ASKED FOR. Per Press Association. DUNEDIN, Feb. 5. Speaking on church constitution and the recommendation of the commission that Parliament be asked to empower the Synod to make such changes in the fundamental provisions as may be found necessary, subject to the general concurrence of the Diocesan Synod, Archbishop Julius said that al! were ready to allow that Clause 6, which declared these provisions unalterable, was an unwarrantable intrusion upon their liberties. It could not be amended without resort to Parliament. Most of the provisions were obsolete, but their cherished relations with the Mother Chinch did not depend for security on those provisions, and an appeal to the Legislature would certainly be met with sympathy and be good for all.
