SOCIALIST SCHOOLS.
CHALLENGE TO WOMEN’S CONFERENCE.
By Telegraph—Press Association,
AUCKLAND, Thursday
Mr W. J. Jordan, Labour member for Maniikau, questions the truth of the allegations made at the Conference of the National Council of Women, that blasphemous teachings and “furious hymns,” are taught in the Sunday Schools, one of which was stated to be in Auckland. “As a member of the Christian Church,” said Mr Jordan, “I do not desire to be associated with any organisation that teaches such doctrines. 1 do more than challenge the National Council of Women to prove their statements; I call upon them in the name of all that is fair to join with me in making a thorough investigation into the matter, afterwards giving the fullest publicity to the facts whether they are to the advantage or disadvantage of the Socialist Sunday schools. Further. I call upon the Christian Church to take the- matter up with me.” During last session of Parliament, Mr Jordan added, it was shown that these irreligious hymns were circulated in a Reform publication merely for electioneering purposos.
