Auckland Diocesian Synod.
* Auckland, October 19. The Anglican Diocesian Synod was opened to-day, «ben Bishop Cowie delivered the usual inaugural address. His Lordship urged the desirableness of Cftstian unity. Speaking of the historic episcopate, as that order of Bishops which the Church of New Zealand has received from the Church of England, and which England received with the Gospel from the churches of Asia Minor and Italy, be went £ii to say that though organic union might at present be impracticable between uhristians possessing the historic episcopate, and those who for whatever reason held themselves aloof irom that order, the measure of unity that-remained for them mutually to cherish is great. After the address the members of the Synod presented Bishop Cowie with a pastoral staff in recognition of his having completed the 21st year of his episcopate. The staff has an inscription in Latin recording that it is presented to Bishop Cowie for use by himself and his successors.
