ANGLICAN MISSION.
DISCUSSION IN THE AUCKLAND
SYNOD
rpiui l’nr.C3 Association.! AUCKLAND, Oct. 12. r l}he Anglican Synod 5 , discussed at length a recommendation authorising the committee to receive guarantees or arrange a bank overdraft to provide for a deficiency of £7OO to finance a general mission in 1910. Mr. W. J. Speight strongly opposed the motion, and caused some excitement by stating the impression was abroad thatthe mission of help to South Africa had forwarded ecclesiasticism, not Christian Godliness. ’J he appeal for funds was not freely responded to because in the hearts of the people there was a suspicion as to the real aims of the mission. The Rev. Mr. Colville, a member of the Mission of Help to South Africa, assured the Synod that the mission did not go there to spread ritualism. Eventually the committee withdrew the request for permission to raise the deficiency by bank overdraft. With this amendment the recommendations were adopted.
