GOOD AS EVER.
Church In England Spiritually Sound. Press Association—Copyright. • Hamilton, East Night. The opinion that New Zealanders know more about England than Englishmen know about the Dominion was expressed by the Bishop of Waikato, the Right Rev. C. A. Ch’erringJton, in his first sermon on his return from England, in St. Peter’s Cathedral. He added, however, that the English people were willing to learn, and many parishes in England were anxious to help the Church in the Dominion with prayers and by material means.
If the church-people in England had to do what those in New Zealand did, said the bishop, they would be in a hopeless position. They did not have to provide for their clergy and gave comparative!}’ little to foreign missions. The clergy there were very indignant at the loss of some £14,000,000 in stipends from tithes. Referring to the spiritual position of the Church, Bishop Cherrington said he considered it was as sound as ever.
