MONEY IN RELIGION
"FIGURES TOO MUCH"
A BISHOP'S VIEWS
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
HAMILTON, This Day.
"Pounds, shillings, and pence figure too much in our religion "to-day," said tho Bishop of Waikato, in the course of a sermon at the Cathedral last night.
"After nineteen hundred years religion should be free. There should be no paid clergy in Hamilton to-day, and two Bishops, one in the North Island and one in the South, should be sufficient for New Zealand. After all these centuries of Christianity there should be men elected from the community to administer the sacraments and preach without payment. The Church could then use all the money for missions. If we had unlimited means we could evangelise the whole world in a hundred years."
