“GRAVE” STATEMENT
SPREAD OF COMMUNISM GREAT CHANGES PREDICTED. (Per United Press Association.) Auckland, June 11. . “I find that the work of the Ministry grows increasingly difficult as the impact of Communist philosophy is felt from overseas and spreads through the community generally. I am sure great changes are coming and we are not ready to meet them.” This extract from a renlv given to a committee of visitation by the Rev. E. A. Tipler of Mount. Eden Presbyterian Church, was read to the Auckland Presbytery. More than one member of the Presbytery said he regarded the statement as of serious import and it was decided to refer it to the Public Questions Committee to consider and report to the next meeting of the Presbytery. The Moderator, the Rev. W. P. Rankin, said he considered it x a sign of weakness if Ministers were hot prepared to meet this propaganda. Many of their Ministers were already meeting it effectively.
