THE WAIKATO DIOCESE.
Sir.—Right thinking Christians must read with abhorrence the action of the parishioners of Ciaudelands in publicly revolting against their bishop in his absence, and while the General Synod is in ression. To the outside public nothing has been alleged that would justify such extreme action. All that has been divulged is that he has dispensed with the services of some recalcitrant priests whom he considered disloyal and insubordinate. Dean Barnett's toleration of the action of his parishioners at Ciaudelands would impress one that it was not beyond the regions of possibility that the defln would give justification for this dismissal by the bishop. The enthusiasm shown at the meeting indicates that Christian charity was deplorably lacking. In the interests of the Church matters of such a nature should be discussed in camera. Horoliu. R. D.
