HOME PARAMOUNT.
The influence of the home should be paramount in the life of the child, and it was the duty of the Church to inculcate that fundamental principle in the minds of children, «said Arch* bishop Aver ill at the Anglican Synod at Auckland. He was inclined to think that the Church was “heating the air” unless its suggested remedies dealt with home and parents as well as children. Unless the atmosphere of the home was Christian and sympathetic, the work for the children and young people generally must be to a large extent ineffective. The problem to-day was not more machinery for interesting children outside their homes, but the strenthening, and in some cases, the conversion of the homes themselves, so that the children could have the opportunity of growing up. in an atmosphere which made what was true, pure, beautiful and noble in life.
