The Christchurch clergy are still interested in the holding of another Church Congress, practical consideration of which was checked by the onset of the economic winter now happily merging into spring, states the Church News. At tho September meeting of the Clerical Society the dean reported that the sub-committee recommended that steps he taken to hold the congress in Christchurch in 1935, a year after the General Synod. It does not think it expedient to get speakers from England, as originally proposed, l,ut to seek a notable person from the mission field and the help of some of the Australian Church leaders. Nor does il now favor the suggested concentration •in youth questions, but suggests rather that the lines of the former congress he, followed, of appeal to the general interest of church-people. This is an in- ( foresting indication of the changing orientation of .feeling regarding youth problems; in England the tide is definitely set against dealing with youth as a separate problem, isolated from the general life of the Church.
