ABORTION EVIL
SPHERE OF THE CHURCH By Telegraoh—Presb Association DUNEDIN, November 24. In his address at the opening of the Otago and Southland Methodist Synod this morning, the Rev. C. H. Olds referred to ‘he disturbing disclosures of th 3 McMillan report on abortion, w’hich, he seid, was more disquieting because they knew’ the evil was even more widespread than the report showed. Mr / ~ lds said no sweeping ''nnden.nation was adequate, or even just. The subject called for thorough investigation, with a large measure of sympathetic understanding, particularly in regard to the economic and social conditions that constituted such p important factor. While the Church must stand behind measures to comtat the evil, her most potent sphere of influence was through the Christian home. Sunday school and Bible class. She must send into the current of public life a constant stream of healthy, clean youth, aggressively loyal to the principle of absolute purity, challenging impurity by a free and radiant life.
