SOCIAL PROBLEMS
DISTURBING DISCLOSURES. Per Press Association. DUNEDIN, Nov. 24. In liis address at the opening of the Otago-Southland Methodist Synod this morning Kev. C. H. Olds referred to the disturbing' disclosures of the McMillan report which, he said, was the more disquieting becuuse they knew the evil was even more widespread than the report showed. Mr Olds said no sweeping condemnation was adequate or even just. The subject called for a thorough innuiet stand behind the measures to sympathetic understanding, particularly in regard to, economic and social conditions that constituted*such an important factor. While the Church much stand behind the measures to combats the evil, her most potent sphere of influence was through the Christian home, the Sunday school and the Bible class. She must send into the current of public life a constant stream of healthy-minded and dean youth aggressively loyal to the principle of absolute purity challenging impurity by a free and radiant life.
