BISHOP NELIGAN IN ENGLAND.
CHRISTIAN EVIDENCE SOCIETT. "The Diviuity of Christ and the reality of sin" as the centre of all future Christian apologetics was the dominant note in the speeches at tho annual meeting of the Christian . Evidence Society. Lord Hugh Cecil presided over a very fair audience in tho theatre at King 1 Colloge, London. He saFd that the Christian Church had to vindicate ;to the, world the reality of moral evil as a thing which, if it were not' fought with by' religion, would sooner or later bring about the destruction of humon nature and all that it held dear. Tho Bishop of Auckland (Dr. Neligan) touched on controversial ground in speaking of "Unbelief in a Young Nation." Tho brotherly feelings bred in tho bush camps wore, ho said, enough to make one' nroud and gratcfuj. That side of the life of young nations was splendidly Christian; but would it last? He believed it could not last;, duty to neighbour must die'out because duty to God was "dying out.. ' And this, in his opinion, was because the schools in that now country were wholly . secular. "You may have as many facilities for teaching religion _ outside school hours as you like, but it is bound /to - end in one thing— men and women brought, up under BUch a system will como' to regard God as an extra."
