CHURCH OF CHRIST.
CONFERENCE AT NELSON. NELSON, April 4. In the course of his presidential address at the Church of Christ conference, Mr. W. J. Carpenter, of Wellington, said this was a time for heartsearching. The needed enthusiasm must come from the individual. Their platform was broad and simple—in essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity; no creed, but Christ; no book, but the Bible, no news but the Divine. “This must we preach and practise,” he said, “if we are to be able to restore the enthusiasm of the restoration movement.” The election of officers resulted:— President (for the new year), Mr. R. Dick; preacher of the conference sermon, Mr. G. Fretwell (Invercargill); social problems committee, Messrs. J. Grayden, P. Hobbs, G. Cairns, A. F. Turner, D. Hall, H. Austin, W. Garner, and W. G. Corpenter; preachers’ provident fund committee, Messrs. E. Vickery, W. D. M. Glaister, R. J. Dick, M. Vickery, J. Stokes; evangelists’ training committee, Messrs. J. Inglis Wright (secretary), J. Stokes, W. D. More, A. Hotting, W. King; Bible College board, Messrs. McKenzie Stokes, Robert More, King Todd, Ferguson Gill Aderman.— (P.-A-.)
