ANGLICAN SYNOD

DEBATE ON WIDESPREAD IMMORALITY. Press Association. NAPIER. May 9. At the Anglican General Synod Archdeacons Richards, Williams, and Johnson, and Canons Tisdall and Purchas, and the Dean of Nelson were elected on the Board of Theological Studies. The report of tho select committee on Melanesian affairs justified the recent action of tho Mission staff for the adjustment of difficulties, and promised sympathetic consideration of such proposals as they might make. The Bishop of Wellington, Archdeacon Williams, and Messrs T. F. Martin, H. D. Andrews, and J. W. Henderson were elected as the standing commission. The standing committee was authorised to appoint a commission on tho fundamental clauses of the constitution.

A vigorous debate took place regarding the widespread immorality. Speakers attributed it largely to the' secular school systejn. u , , Tho bill on fixed primacy was relegated to the Diocesan Synods for consideration.

The question of inadequate stipends for the clergy was discussed, and laymen strongly advocated a considerable increase., Tho statement made in a Wellington paper that Bishop Nevill had stated his intention of resigning the primacy is officially denied. The Bishop has never mado such a statement.
