Disturbing Disclosures oi Report NO CONDEMNATION ADEQUATE
(By Telegraph
DTJNEDIN, Last Night. In his address at the opening of the Otago-Southland Methodist Synod this morning, the Eev. C. H. Olds referrfid tot he disturbing disclosures of the McMillan report on abortion which, ha said, was more disquieting because they knew the evil was ev.en more widespread than the report showed. Mr Olds said that no sweeping condemnation was adequate or even just. The subject called for a thorough. Investigation with a large measure of sympathetic understanding, partieularly in regard to economic and social conditions. While the church must st^nd behind measures to combat the evil, her most potent spllere of influenoe was through the Christian home, Sunday School and Bible Glass. She must send into current public life a constant stream of healthy-minded, clean youth, aggressively loyal to the principal of absolute purity, challeng* ing impurity by a free, radiant life.
