PURSUIT OF PLEASURE
WEALTHY CLASSES ACCUSED. BISHOP GROTTY’S ATTACK. (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph— Copyright.) SYDNEY, August 19. In liis address at St, John’s Church, Birchgrove, Dr Crotty (Bishop of Bathurst) made an attack upon “certain minorities who are keeping the people, apart and are destroying fellowship in order that political programmes might not be thwarted.” He described it as the work of the devil. “It is no use praying,” he said. “It is time that professing Christians got out and did something.” The bishop accused the wealthy classes of engaging in a pleasure chase and ignoring their responsibility in social service. They must get snobbery and social hate out of the church and out of the people, he added.
