METHODIST SYNOD
CHURCH UNION FAVOURED ENCOURAGING STEPS TAKEN [Per Pres j Association.] WELLINGTON, Nov. 19. Addressing the Wellington Methodist Synod which opened to-day, the Rev. E. D. Patchett, district chairman, spoke on church union and said it was encouraging to record certain definite practical steps had been taken. He supported the resolutions of the Auckland Presbytery, because they suggested that Anglicans be also approached. Alethodists looked to the Anglican Church as the rock from which they were hewn and there was much in common between them; for the Alethodists, reunion would bo incomplete without the Anglicans, but if that wore impracticable, yet a step towards it would be the coming together of Presbyterians, Congregationalists and Alethodists-
Speaking of a concordat between Catholics and the Bible in Schqpls’ League the Rev. Patchett said th’ meant the removal of an irritant from the religious life of the Dominion, for which all lovers of peace and goodwill must be thankful.
