Mr Speight suid he wos prepared, in spite of difficulties, to see the resolution carried through. It was not ab all contem plated that such a difficulty as that mentioned should occur. It waa pro posed to croato a central fund into which all sums wore paid, and oub of which no more money whs paid than had been re ceived. If at the time of payment thore was a deficiency a pro rata reduction would be made on all the salaries contributing bo the fund. If a district was remiss in its payments its deficiency would be felt by ull the others, and they would bring moral suasion to boar on it. If it was atill remiss then why should it be allowed to be re garded as a parochial district? Mr Upton said ho doubted very much if Mr Kensington's Boheme could be adopted successfully. It waa impossible to carry it out until wo were educated up to a far higher mark than we were at present.
Mr Bates said that as far as theory went Mr Kensington's scheme was without a Haw ; but the crost trouble, both in town and country, wos that there waa an un willingness on the part of the people to sub scribe to tho funds of the Church. Tho weekly oOurbory was one of tho chief sources of income to the Church, and it was an iucruaso in the amount of that which was required. Mr Rico also drow attention to tho small ness of the contributions to the Church. Tho machinery was nob at fault. The difficulty lay with tho people who did not give freoly towards the Church. The Synod then adjourned for an hour. EVENING SITTINO.
