CHURCH UNION.
PRESBYTERIAN AND AIETHO- - DIST OPINIONS.
[Press Association.]
AUCKLAND, Nov. 25. Expressing his views upon '.a- letter from •the Anglican Church _ proposing church union, a Presbyterian minister, the Rev. A. A. Murray, of St-. Andrew’s, sa id lie did not think there was the slightest hope of anaion so long as there existed a leaning towards -ritualism in the Anglican Church. This was a great bar to unity. Tlie Presbyterian- General Assembly had, ho said, so -despaired 1 of union’ that it had disbanded the committee set up to confer with other church committees on the question. Union must be on evangelical lines. A Methodist opinion voiced by the the Rev. Goo. Bond, chairman of the Methodist Synod, was that-a fraternal spirit was first necessary. This was the difficulty rather than denomi nationalism. Fraternity might culminate in organic union, but"'the time for the latter had not yet- come.
