Caustic Comment
AUCKLAND’S NUDE STATUEPer Press Association. CARTERTON, Last Night. The Rev. W. J. Elliott, of Auckland, ex-president of tho New Zealand Methodist Conference, who is now visiting Carterton, on having his attention drawn to the discussion by the Auckland Council of Christian Congregations concerning the nude statue, said: “I think the statue is a disgusting sight and a degenerate travesty upon Grecian athletic art. It is pitiable to see the attitude of inoffensive suavity assumed towards it by the Council of Christian Congregations. Surely the Church is in a tepid mood and is drawing the silken cord of a false peace over every great conviction and duty.”
