Bishop Neville's Address to the Synod.
o (Per Press Association.) Dunedin, Novr. 5. Bishop Neville, in the course of his address to the Anglican Synod, made reference to prophetic revelations, and said that if the great dragon who persecuted the woman and drove her into the wilderness was the Mahommedan power, then perhaps they might hope the time of deliverance was at band, for the dragon's power was to be for 1260 years, and the Mahommedans has taken Jerusalem in 636. The Bishop made reference to the the Pope's address to the English nation, which might be termed a wasted effort ; but the movement to unite the various divisions of Wesleyanism should have their good wishes. It was possible that Wesleyans would come to see that every argument they advanced with so much as to the evils of division was fully applicable to their own secession. The Bishop said the iron had entered his soul when he he found that the diocese at large, would not, as he had imagined rise as one man anq throw off the debt en the' cathedral The depressjLpn had, no doubt, much to (to with this, but jbhe discovery had been forced apon hffq thai the cause lay much deeper— a want of living en£hnßsiasm.
