Tlie biggest problem of the churches in Great Britain was that arising from the demolition of the older parts of cities and the establishment of new housing districts in the suburbs, stated the Rev W. Bower Black at a meeting of tlie Auckland Presbytery. The result was that in the centres of the cities there were scores of churches—“churches to burn." Mr Black said —but thousands and thousands of people had been transplanted in suburbs where in some cases there were no churches. This had come about not gradually, as was happening in Now Zealand, but in an amazingly short time, and the difficulty had been for the Church to reorganise its work to meet the new conditions.
