Church of England Synod.
(ISY TELEGRAPH.) Wellington, February 8. At this afternoon's sitting of the General Synod, the Bishop of Auckland presented a memorial from the Synod of the diocese of Auckland, praying that the Legislature should be petitioned to allow the Lord's Prayer to be read daily in the State schools. On the motion of the Bishop of Dunedin, a select committee was appointed to take into consideration the working of the present Marriage Acts, with a view to make such suggestions as may appear to them calculated to protect the sanctity of marriage, and to report to the Synod. On the motion of Mr E. C. Quick (Dunedin), a committee was appointed to consider the question of funeral reform and to suggest some means by which funerals may be conducted with less ostentation and expense, and in a manner more expressive of Christian hope.
