THE REV. DR. ADENEY

IMPRESSIONS OF NEW ZEALAND. Tho Rev, Dr. Adeneyyuho 'recently fn\i T' Sl Ji, to . Zealand, writes as follows to tho "Christian World":— JI poverty is.tho dead-woight on tile national life of .England in spite of amazing commercial advances, prosperity is tho threatening temptation in New Zealand. It seems to be. tho ambition of everybody to rido about in a motorcar Farmers from the back country motor thirty, forty, fifty miles into a town to vist tho thoatro, and rush bacK again in the night. I must say that I <lo not soe tho same eagerness in tho pursuit of the higher aims. In visiting the churches I have been struck with the close resemblance between Church conditions out here and at Homo. Preaching and lecturing and holding coherences, discussing the grounds of faith, Biblical scholarship, Sunday school reform, and various modern problems, I ■have heard again and again just such remarks as I have been familiar with m Lancashire during the last ten years. The people in our .churches aro anxious oil account of their slow progress, and troubled at the inert mass of indifference with whieli they are surrounded. But they themselves strike mo as alive, keen, and earnest, and always ready to consider whatever questions are put before them with an open mind. Although I have had occasion to say some things that struck inc as novel—for, while in farming they are advanced, in intellectual movements Europe leads—l did not. meet with the slightest indication of bigoted obscurantism, such as Dr. Aked lias had to encounter at Sau Francisco. .
