THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND.
TO TIIJ! KDITOH.
Sin, —Thn lamtntable ar.count of the New South Wales Church of England clergyman being without a meal e.t Christmas time is a reproach to what the Bishop of Salisbury in one of his lectures in New Zealand described as an ideal church.
A church which showa such a contrast between the salaries of its ministers —bishops receiving princely sums and the far-back block ministers paid a salary which a mechanic would scorn—in tar from being an ideal one.
Whilst the New South Wales Chnrch of England is at present being racked with the inoijentous question whether oae of her bishops (Riverina) should be consecrated at Home or in Sydney, her hard-worked clergymen in the country diatricta ara left to starve. In recent numbers of Truth lists have been given of rectors in England drawing good salaries and with only a handful of people to minister to, whilst poorly-paid curates have to minister to thousands.—l am, &c,
Duncdin, March 4.
