AN AGE OF lIMIEUGION. SYDNEY, J" ne 4. With the conviction that the cause of true rcligon is in a sor-y plight, tlie Rev. A* J. Waldock, a \\oil-know n 'Baptist minister, haß returns! from a tour of the country districts of the State. Not that the C ‘>unt-y is any more irreligious than the city, for Mr Waldoek has some very hard things to sa v about them both, notwithstanding a noted Presbyterian minister’s recent declaration that Sydney was a much more moral place to-day than it was when he was, a boy. Mr Waldoek has found it a common occurrence in country churches to be conducting divine service on Sundays with a tennis match going on outside, and he has arrived at the conclusion that in the l.fe of the country to-day the church simply does not count. He is very dubious in regard to “attractive novelties,” which he says are being introduced by many ministers. “Our business,” he says is to reconcile men to God, not to reconcile the world to the church by patting it on the back.”
