TEMPERATE DUNEDIN.
At the meeting of the Anglican Synod In Dunedin on Friday, a resolution was proposed that the clergy be requested to preach sermons on November 25th bavint; .reference to Iho sin of intemperance. The motion was objected ta by two of the town incumbents. One, the Rev. A. C. Yorke, said th >t ho did not know one in his congregation addicted to the sin of intemperance, and Dunedin was the most temperate town he had been in in all the colonies. The Rev. Mr King said that if he preached on the subject bis congregation would regard it as a joke, as he did not know a single one who was intemperate. The motion was amended by the snbati)ution of “ the cause of intemperance.’ R-ference was made to the appeal by B sbop Neville in London, and it was adversely citx'spd, It was pointed out that a ;hoo ojical co.lege, cathedral, and o'hf-r objects were quite proper things for luo Bu-hop to appeal tb tliei ribll churchmen in England for aid for. The synod th»n concluded its proceedings.
