GENERAL SYNOD
CRITICISM BY BISHOP TIME AND MONEY WASTED NOTHING MUCH ACCOMPLISHED [from our own cohukspondknt] HAMILTON. Friday "Apart from the election of the I'rimate and Archbishop of Now Zealand. and from the pleasant greetings we had in Nelson and the opportunity of mooting one another between meetings, General Synod was a dull affair," states the Bishop of Wnikato, the Jit. Rev. C. A. Cherrington, in his letter in the latest issue of the Diocesan Magazine. "Nothing of note was accomplished and several members of the Synod were profoundly disappointed. It was a waste of time and an appalling waste of money. General Synod seems to be a worn out system of Church government and needs to be reformed in toto. This feeling of dissatisfaction was fairly general, and if it persists it may lead to something good. Jt is self-complac-ency that retards progress."
