ANGLICAN CHURCH
CLOSE OF THE SYNOD; SOCIAL EVII/S. (Per United Press Association.) AUCKLAND, May 9. The Anglican General Synod concluded to-night. The chairman of the sessional committee on social service, Bishop Sedgewick, moved: “That the Synod records its convictions that while repressive measures have their place in checking the social evils of the day, an effective remedy must be positive and spiritual, and it therefore calls upon the Church people (1) to support every effort which strives after a higher moral, intellectual . and spiritual standard in the life of the nation, and (2) to pray daily that the Holy Spirit may sanctify the souls and bodies of the people of the Dominion.” The Rev. H. Parata (Dunedin) moved as an amendment by way of addition that Church people be called upon to initiate where possible interesting services for citizens. * The amendment was lost on the voices and the motion was carried by acclamation. The next meeting will be held at Dunedin
