CONGREGATIONALISM.
REMARKABLE PROGRESS.
REPORT TO THE ASSEMBLY
;NOW SITTING IN AUCKLAND
(By Telegraph.—Press, Association.)
AUCKLAND, March 12
Progress has been so marked that it has been little less than a revelation jn New Zealand Congregationalism, remarked the Rev. H. Johnson, Moderator at/the Assembly of the Congregational Union to-day. Three years ago it was spoken of as the sick child of the denominations, but two years ago a new spirit came to Auckland, and the result had been revitalised Congregationalism. All through the Dominion they were now 100 per cent, better in efficiency and tone. Eighteen settlements of pastorates had been affected, and twelve new men had been brought into the minis r try, three in Otago, three in Cantor-? bury, five in Wellington, and six in Auckland provinces. A college scheme had been launched into with great hopes, and the first three students had been enrolled.
