THE TOMAN FREE CHURCH.
The Rev. J. J. Lewis, president of the Wesleyan Conference, has received from Dr Kelynack, president of the Australasian Conference, a copy of a letter from the High Commissioner, stating that the King of Tonga and higher chiefs appear to be firmly attached to their Free Church, and that any indications of attack upon it would be followed by determined resistance. Tbe High Commissioner believes all church differences may be composed by tact and consideration, and that the King and members of the Free Church would returu to connection with the Australasian Conference if the Wesleyan Church in Tonga were governed locally by a Tongan conference, as proposed by the Rev. George Brown in 1889. Dr Eelynaok suggests that the Wesleyans of New Zealand should follow the example of those of Sydney, and make a collection for the Tongau exiles.
