MILITARY TRAINING.
There is at least one clergyman in New. Zealand who believes in military training. Speaking at the Methodist Church in Wanganui the other day, the Rev. liUxford said:— "Don't you rebel against this milita.ry t raining. The legislation is not designed to cause you to delight in war for war's sake. It has a beneficial design, teaching you to love your country, and your Empire; reminding you that you belong to a nation that has done more for . civilisation than any other modern people. .It is the nation that lias planted more colonies and rescued more slaves than any other •in the world's history—a nation with a passion for .liberty and a genius for righteous government. You ought to be proud of hor liistory. You are being called upon to help to protect that nation and contribute towards the maintenance of the influence of your Empire, and you should respond willingly."
