NATIONAL INTEGRITY.

Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Aug. 18. The Dominion executive of the British Protestant Association to-day adopted resolutions “that in the present grave crisis through which the Dominion is passing it is imperative that all loyal citizens, above and beyond all considerations of religious creed, should co-operate with the Government to maintain our national security and integrity; that the appeal of tho Premier for support of a National Government is heartily, endorsed as the best means of meeting the crisis nnd hastening a return to prosperity; that this association deplores any attempt, especially at a time of national peril, to divido the community by sectarian issues; that an earnest appeal be made to the Christian churches to boldly stand for principles above party, for charity above sectarianism, for country above self, and thus to promote the highest possible citizenship; that this association stands by the open Bible as tho nation’s charter of civil and religious liberty, and appeals to all Christians to support the Bible-in-schools movement in an effort to secure Bible reading in schools as agreed to by all the main Protestant churches and the Catholic Hierarchy.”
