THE METHODIST CHURCH.
To tlie Jiditor.
'^i l - —The liev Brooker, in his I'lv-i----llential address as reported in the L'ress, lias, 1. tluiik, hit the nail on the head as to tiie reason of the discrepancy between the census returns and the official figures of the Weley.ui uhurch. The old iasliiuned name 'oi "\\ esleyan ..Methodist ' is good enough for me, and 1 am not yet ashamed ol the name of Wesley. 1 never could fathom tile reason lor the jaw-broii king term of "Methodist Cliureii of Australasia." 1 would rather sign myseli Primitive j\leLhodist," or anv other short title even if it did add a feuthousands to their roll numbers in the census returns, it is to be hoped the powers that be will be brought to their senses now they have had such a rude awakening.—l am,etc., WJiSLiSVAN.
