The Manawatu Herald. Saturday, July sth., 1913. NOTES AND COMMENTS.
At the Anglican Synod now sitting in Wellington, the Rev. E. Sola heaved a brick at the methods adopted by the church lor raising money. He said “it was humiliating to him to take np church magazines from various parts of the world and read of the manner in which money was raised for the Church of God. Progressive euchre parties, bazaars, at which fortune-telling and forms of gambling were encouraged, were means by which the work of the church was to be extended. He was not condemning those things as in themselves necessarily wrong. Some of those things were not wrong as recreation, but It seemed to him that they were wrong as means of raising money for the Church of God.” The spiritual life of church people is falling to a very low ebb when they expect a quid pro quo for every shilling literally dragged from them for church purposes. The Anglican Church is not singular in this respect.
