PRIMITIVE METHODISTS
The district synod of the Now Zealand Primitive Methodist Church came to a conclusion yesterday. The following resolutions were passed:— " Regarding as wo do the three-fifths majority required to give effect to noHoeuao and national prohibition as m- ■ domocratio and unfair, wo urge our people not to vote for any candidate for Parliament who does not favor removing <or reducing tho present embargo." That, in view of tho divided state of opinion in our churh concerning tho (platform of the Bible-iu-Sohools League, ■which advocates the New South Wales system, including denominational teaching in the State schools, and also in view of Methodist nnion in this Dominion, wo make no pronoun cement on the question."
“Regauding as wo do the intrinndo value of tho Lord's Day as the day for tost and worships wo greatly deprecate the growing tendency to secularise it. We urgently appeal to all our people to observe aa such, and commend to them the work of the New Zealand Lord's Day Alliance."
