Speaking at'the Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand yesterday, Mr W. J. Comrie said that the private wealth of New Zealand amounted to £792,000,000. Presbyterians totalled a quarter of the population and he would venture to say that Presbyterians did not possess the least glare of the wealth of New Zealand. Takini it in round figures, Presby terian. had £200.00u,000 of the pr. vate wealth, so was it too much to ex pect that the Church could get a quar ter of a million pounds sterling, not for one obiect but for many. A voice rom tfeU = Wliat of the mortpg, on the properties! Mr Comrie: The Weaker may'know of mortgages, but I ugge t SS Presbyterians hold a big hffe of them. (Laughter.)
