THE FUTURE STATE.
VIEWS OF AN ANGLICAN BISHOP. IBy Tolezraph—Press Association.) Auckland, April 2. "People don't go to Heaven when they 3ie, or to Hell either," was a remark made by the Anglican Bishop of Auckland (Dr. Crosslcy) in a midday address to men to-day. It was a popular belie?; ho said, but if it was true, where would be tho moral of the Day of Judgment long afterwards? "Oh, no," he continued, "when we come to the root of things, the old Church is never far wrong. People when they die don't go to Heaven or to Hell, but depart to a state where they may );o with Christ, and who can tell but that in that long urate of waking the truth that was so darkened here, the life that was so cruelly wrong, may be set right? There is nothing to. warrant it, but thank God there is nothing to say that it is impossible. The Church of God is always praying for her dead, and a man who thinks it Popish or superstitious to kneel down and pray for his blessed mother loses one of the ■wealths oE intercession. I pity that man. It. is not purgatory, but we do believe iti never leaving out of our prayers those •whom we love."
