THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND..
SOME STRINGENT CRITICISM
“ECCLESIASTICAL MUSIC HALLS.”
United Press Association— Copyright SYDNEY, Nov. 26. The annual report on, church attendance states that the love or jp]erasure and the penneaition Oi schools and colleges with the gocalled new theology liavo caused the churches to become transformed into <!cclesias'tdcal music halls, with organ recitals and solo singing. Tricky advertisements were tlio order of tho day, while the simple, plain, evangelical service was put in the background. Ritualism, too, had become a very real and great danger in England, and the number of ritualistic Institutions in the shape of convents and sisterhoods was so great as would incline one to think England was a Roman Catholic country. South Africa wtas strongly permeated with ritualism. Mr. Craigie, of New Zealand, said it was. following on tho same lines. While it bad a stronghold in the Commonwealth, clerical autocracy was dragging the Church of England down.
