Problems of Today.
“We live in a new age. _ Rapid developments in science, particularly biology and psychology, have given men new powers, and we want to know how they are to be handled and in what measure controlled,” said the Most Rev. J. W. C. Wand, Archbishop of Brisbane and Metropolitan of Queensland, who arrived at Wellington yesterday by the Awatea. He said that he had been invited to New Zealand to lecture to the Anglican clergy, first in Christchurch and later in Wellington, on the problems of this modern age. The church, he said, was confronted with the problem of the extent to which certain educational developments should be allowed by the Church’s policy. The religion and morals of today often left much to be desired. Asked whether he intended to discuss the questions of birth control and the incidence of criminal abortion in New Zealand, he said that in his correspondence with the Bishop of Wellington, Rt. Rev. H. St. Barbe Holland, there had been no mention of that problem, but it would probably be included among those with which he would deal.
