Bishop’s Wallis’ Statement

TWO VERSIONS. Melbourne fi'os are uaeleos to anyone desiring details about B shop Wa'lis Biatements on heathenism and. popular clergy. The Age and tho Argus are at variance in the "matter ; their reports arc as unsatisfactory as they arc brief, -the two versions ol His Lrrdebip’s spocoh arc interesting enough by ooniraet to quote in full.

TOE ARGU3. Bishop Walh's, of WellicgtoD, sa ; d that in Now Zealand there was no religious instiuolion io the State eoboolr, and they wete developing a nation of heathens.

Ono of tho obi'f obshiolrs wire tho doftiro of oungrcgat'onH for a popular oloigymm (Applnuao) If a man worn d .lug hii work faithfully end noli ho was sura to broomo unpopular. In cthor ohurobes tho olorgy worn not appointed at iho will of tho oongmgatior). l’ht-y must fight against the ir.ublo. In his rlirofso they hai fought fig'iin-t it bv in- lcmg a rulo that no man who allowed lo receive a fin thing of stipend from his oo grogation. Ho was paid out uni of iho diocomn fond. (Applause.)

THE AGE. Tho Bishop of Wellington said that ono obstacle to roligion in New Zealand was that thoro was no religions instruction in State schools. Thoy were in danger of

developing a nation of heathens. (Hear hear). Dealing with tho avoidance of popularity hunting and dependence on parish favor, tho bishop said that in Now Zealand they had a rule that no man roeeivo a farthing of his stipend from tho congregation- (Cheers). Tho money was paid into a diocesan fund, but Iho clergyman was never the debtor of the parish. (I Lear, hear).

THE CABLEGRAM. The ealdo d -spatelier took his toxt from a leading article in tho Sydney Morning Herald of Saturday, reviewing all tho doings of tho congress, and tho editor’s language was based on tho Argus report, which appeared on Wednesday, 21st November

New Zealanders will have to await Dr Wallis’s return to learn doiiuitoly what his Lordship said. —Tost.
