INTEREST QUICKENING
CHURCH IN SCOTLAND BRIGHTER EVANGELISM Special Correspondent WELLINGTON. Oct. 28. There were signs of a quickening interest in the Church in Scotland, said the Rev. W. P. Temple, who arrived at Wellington yesterday to becomeminister of St. John’s Presbyterian Church, Wellington. Mr Temple was until recently minister of Barclay
Church, Edinburgh. Re said that the most significant fact about church work to-day was the far more adventurous character of the Church in its evangelical work. The Church of Scotland now owned a cinema and a theatre in which religious films and plays were presented. The open-air work of the church was also being extended. In this field there was rapid development. The visiting methods, too, were attracting more people to the church. Increases in Sunday School attendances at the churches in Scotland had occured, and congregations had become larger at the services. People were being won back slowly but most definitely to the Church.
