The Wairarapa Daily. MONDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1882. NEW ZEALAND BISHOPS.

This is the season of the year when o.w gishops are, wont to burl and bloo®. Vy.e bave some half dozen of these dignitaries in .colony, and op ly One is indulging in (Jiyjt special I relaxation of a visit to England, which is supposed to' bo a distinguishing feature of Colonial Bishops. ' At this time of the-yea? Qf our Bishops is accustomed to call his syflod together, and to open it with a mild October brew, or Spring Pastoral, These annual addresses have just been delivered all round, awl have been duly chronicled by a diligent but not very orthodox press. We' havo had the; pleasure of reading several of theny and found them to he extremely gentlemanly and scholarly addresses on things in general and nothing in particular—- ! only if) one of them was there any. indication ,q£ sensational matter, Oiit of the dead, dry, orthodox level of these admirable compositions m,es tjbe charge of the Bishop of Dunedin, who earn] estly and peptotly pleads for union' between the . \Yeslevan, and Episcopalian churchmen of this colony, There is nothing; new in this idea, nor is'this project one th\t is at all likely to be carried out, Still it is a great thing to find that we have, a : gentleman in gaiters enunciating so broad and liberal a proposal. 'We have known Episcopalian Clergymen who would sooner B£,o Jlis Satanic Majesty, with tail and hoofs', in pulpits rather than have in them r 'p, w.estejppter. We are gjftd to' seg Signs' in this 'respect, Between tjyet}ty'''Hj)(ll thirty years 'ago «rg remember one broad churchman—the iftte RevoajjOfl Miller—saying that though bis Wes.■leyan neighbor (the Rev John AngelJ 'James) was the most godly man he' knew, yef ho dare riofcask him to stand' jin his pulpit, We also remember that this utterance of Canon Miller's was at the .time regarded as very bold [almost heretical It is satisfactory to [.find we have a bold bishop in New Zealand. He may not be able 'to carry out the project, but his Durable charge must havo one good' effect, viz., it will teach his clorgy and to respect and value, their .Wesieyafl pghbors, and inspire the -Wesleyan community in his diocese with cordial feelings v ,io ( \y#ss the' Episcopalians. Tlie Bishop ofDunedi'fl deserves the thanks of colonists for his effort to promote peace and goodwill between two who are, ; in a colony like this, very unnecessarily estranged,
