THE POSITION OF THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
[Press Association.]
CHRISTCHURCH, August 11. At a meeting of the Christchurch Presbytery to-day, tho Rev. J. Mackenzie moved, “That in view of the near approach of the local option poll the Presbytery directs the attention of ministers, session and members of the church generally to the fact that the General Assembly has again and again affirmed the principle of no-lic-ense and urges them to take practical steps in each congregation to secure an increased lio-license vote :at the coming poll.” A short discussion ensued, two or three speakers strongly criticising tlio action of the manager of tlie Anglo-Welsh football team in making an indictment against no-liconse when tlie behavior of the team, over which he h id control, was so far from being exemplary. Tho motion was put, and carried unanimously.
