CHURCH AND PRESS.
A very sympathetic leading article appeared m the "Dominion" of May 17th, giving a review of the work done by General Synod. The article says:— "The aims and policies of the largest, religious body m New Zealand must . affect, directly or indirectly, the welfare of. the , Dominion as a whole." After kindly references to the Primate, the article deals with the Central Primacy question. Coirimenting on the inadequate stipends of the clergy, it calls attention to the urgency of the, question arid says "it is disgraceful that the laity m a wealthy country like New Zealand should ba conterit to pay starvation wages to nlen from whom they expect so much." After a short reference to the Franchise question commending the Synod's decision, the article concludes : — ' ' The session of' 1919 will probably prove to be one of the most fruitful of the twenty-one triennial meetings of this 4 Church Parliament which have So far., taken -place.
