CHURCH AND STATE.
Speaking at the Lord Mayor’s reception to him, Dr. Lees, Archbishop of Melbourne, dealt with politics and religion. He said no city could be great without religious influence; by that he did not mean religious interference. He thought that the Church councils and ojflkr religious bodies were very often in their attitude towards municipal affairs, a shade too peevish—a shade too suspicious. He concluded by saying that unless the Church was prepared to throw itself into the . scheme of things in a ring way that showed that it did not merely exist to sing hymns on Sunday and then wait for next Sunday to sing more hymns, then it was not much good. If it gave nothing better than that, then it was not worth having at all.
