SPLIT IN THE RANKS OF THE RELIGIOUS EDUCATION IN SCHOOLS CONFERENCE.
Dunedin, This day. An adjourned meeting of the Ministers' Conference was held yesterday to decide how to carry out the imparting of religious instruction 'on stated days in the State schools. The result of the interviews on the subject Avith the various school committees was detailed, but a split occurred as to Avhethcr the character of the teaching should be entirely undenominational or not. It was proposed, with the view that it should be undenominational, that a committee appointed from the Conference should oversee the giving of instruction on the days agreed upon, but the Church of England clergy refused to be bound to act under such committee, and. on the resolution being carried, the Bishop and his clergy left the meeting, stating they would act for themselves. The Conference then proceeded to mako the necessary arrangements. The President (Dr Stuart, Presbyterian) said he would not have believed a fortnight ago that any Protestant could have taken such a stand as the Episcopalians had in this matter.
