BISHOP JULIUS

He was made to say that "It Jiad been found necessary to bring a band of missioners from England to help in t'he work, because tihe clergymen out there were a very poor lot." What the Bishop really said was that "A great deal foadl been done by the Church in New tZealand, but, if asikei whether the Church were doing all she might dp then he would answer straight out, 'Certainly not.' There were many failures to regret. The bishops, clergy and communicants in the very heart of. tihe Church—what a poor, dull crowd they were compared with what they might lie! The weakness of the Ohurch was that she had lost that sense of aggressive power which should inspire her to go out into the w»rld and win it. We have asked these missioners to come out and help us because we are a poor dull lot," asserted Bishop Julius, and he concluded by expressing his desire that the mission might bring strong men within the fold of the Church; men too 'honest to profess a belief tihey dsd not hold. How he yearned for such men. These were the men that must be won for God!" J =====
