Excerpt from New Zealand and the War The measures which were prepared by the General Conference for organizing a system of government for the Church in New Zealand have been completed; and though based only on the principle of voluntary compact, they promise to be productive of useful results. If the subject of organizing a constitutional government for the Church of England shall ever become a question of practical importance, something may be learned from the New Zealand experiment. It must be interesting indeed, under any circumstances, to witness the difficulties which churchmen have to em counter when thrown upon their own resources in a new country, without law or organization, with out endowments, and beyond the jurisdiction of the ecclesiastical tribunals of the mother country.
