TARANAKI’S PRESBYTERY’S PROTEST.
The Taranaki Presbytery met on Tuesday. The Revs. O. Blundell (New Plymouth), J. W. McKenzie (Stratford), J, D. Smith (Manaia). and elders from Waverley, Hawera and Eltham were appointed representatives to the General Assembly indicted to be held at Auckland on November 15. The Presbytery carried the following resolution: “The Presbytery of Taranaki desires to protest against the utterances of Mr. Massey and Mr. Wilford regarding the Near Eastern crisis in so far as they involve the country m supporting the principle, ‘My country, right or wrong,’ and neglect of the help likely to be afforded by the League of Nations in solving international disputes. The Presbytery believes that our public men should do their utmost to inculcate a high, spirit of national honor and honesty, and deprecate a narrow, eelfish patriotism; also that they should give every support to the cliurehee in their endeavor to build up a moral and spiritual foundation for the League of Nations.”
