ATHEISTIC PHILOSOPHY.
TREND IN DOMINION. CHURCH LEADER’S WARNING. Per Press Association. PAHIATUA, Sept. 10. Rev. L. B. Neale, of Dunedin, the President of the Methodist Conference, speaking at a civic reception, declared : “I believe that within the next 50 years, unless the Church draws together in a determined attack on insidious propaganda, the structural foundation of all that is dear to us will be blasted by subversive and atheistic philosophy.” Mr Neale added that signs of Communistic teachings and other subversive propaganda were establishing themselves in New Zealand. If they continued we would have a totalitarian regime. To . the farmers Mr Neale said that unless they stood behind the flag of Jesus Christ they would be marching off . their farms' into a concentration camp. “For God’s sake go to church,” ho said. “I am no pessimist, but I am convinced that never in the history of New Zealand have we been laced with such a critical period.”
