Primitive Methodist Conference.
PROPOSED UNION WITH THE WESLEYAN CHURCH. (Per Press Association). Wellington, January 11. A deputation from the Wesleyan Conference waited on the Conference to day and urged the union of the two churches. Several of the deputation spoke of the great good that would result from the union, and the Rev. C. E. Ward, replying for the Primitive Methodiet Conference, said if the union did take place it ought to be in New Zealand and take the form of a Methodist Church distinct from Australia, but any united church must haye a democratic spirit and allow laymen to have a voice in all matters pertaining to the church. A deputation from the New Zealand Alliance also waited on the Conference, asking their sympathy and support. Several of the speakers said the liquor traffic was doomed, and th© people would rise and strike a fatal blow at next election.
