EARLY MARRIAGE URGED
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, July 13. Earlier marriage was put forward by speakers at the Wellington Diocesian Synod as a counter to sexual laxity. With a few dissentient voices the synod expressed alarm at the present tendency to late marriage and a falling birth-rate. It xxrged all members of the church for both moral and national reasons to do all in their power to encourage early matrimony, and requested the provincial committee for public and social affairs to consider possible action in the matter. The committee is a national Anglican body.
