SYDNEY, October 22L | The Rev. Mr Reynolds, the newly*, elected president of the New South Waletf j Congregational Union, in his presidential i address, said that never had there beea J greater excitement or a wilder rush for || pleasure than now. The scepticism, "1 materialism, apd indifference so rife around us sounded a reveille to Christ’s followers. * He recognised that this was going to* be It 3 a large problem. When he looked around h and saw the selfish indulgence in pleasure, | the choice of what might be good instead | of what was best, the common disregard j| of religious and sometimes of moral duty | for pleasure’s sake, Tie wondered what : T fruit this seed would produce in the next " generation. :J|
