DOMAIN STATUE
CLERGYMAN'S CRITICISM "CHURCH IN TEPID MOOD" [DY TELEGItAFn —PIIESS ASSOCIATION] CARTERTON, Wednesday An ex-president of the New Zealand Methodist Conference, the Rev. W. J. Elliott, of Auckland, who is now visiting Carterton, had his attention drawn to the Auckland Council of Christian Congregations' attitude to the statue at the Auckland Domain. "I think the statue a disgusting sight and a degenerate travesty upon Grecian athletic art," he said. "It is pitiable to see the attitude of inoffensive suavity assumed toward it by the Council of Christian Congregations. Surely the Church is in tepid mood, and is drawing the silken cord of a false peace over every great conviction and duty."
