"SLIPPING INTO OBLIVION"
BISHOP'S VIEW OF THE CHURCH IN N.Z., WARNING AND APPEAL * (fuss Assocrmosr TcutaxuL.) WELLINGTON, September 20. "The Church appears to be slipping altogether in New Zealand, to be slipping over a precipice into oblivion," said the Bishop of Wellington, the Rt. Rev. H. St. Barbe Holland, in his presidential address to the Dominion conference of the Church of England Men's Society, which opened in Wellington to-day. The Bishop's remarks were made in conjunction with an appeal to members of the society to rouse the Church against the danger that threatened it. "The Church is being challenged to-day more than ever before, and it is in reality 'Christ or paganism,'" he said. "Unless the Church can make a move forward, one is afraid for the future of this Dominion, not only the Church; but also the nation. A short time ago Great Britain went off the gold standard. I hope you will help to keep New Zealand on the Christian standard."
