General Synod.

(PJjR PRESS ASSOCIATION.

Wellington, February 15. At the Anglican Synod this afternoon, the Committee who had considered the working of the Marriage Act presented their report, m which they recommended the adoption of the following resolutions : —" That m the opinion of this Synod, it it desirable that the Marriage Act, 1880, be so amended as to .provide, inter alia, that a period of fourteen days shall inter vene between the date of notice of inten tion to marry and the issue of the re gistrar's certificate ; that persons giving notice shall be required to state the full names and addresses of the parents or legal guardians resident m New Zealand of each of the parties to the intended marriage ; that it is of the highest im portance for the protection of society that greater publicity should be given of the intention to marry ; and that such pub licity may be given by requiring (a) that the registrar shall post a copy of the notice of application for certificate to the parents or guardians of the parties in tending to marry, (b) that he shall affix a second copy of the same to some part of his office accessible to the public, (c) that m the event of these amendments, or any of them, being approved by the Synod they be entrusted to the charge of a member of the Legislature with a view to bringing them under the notice of Go vernment." The report of the Committee on home and foreign missions showea that the Melanesian mission account was over drawn; the cost (£10,000) of the outfit and despatch of the new ship, which is due m Auckland at the end of this month, having absorbed the greater part of the English contributions. The following resolution was carried on ihe voices:—"That, m the opinion of this Synod, it is desirable that candidates for holy orders m this ecclesiastical pro vince should possess some knowledge of the principles of public reading and speak ing, and of the art of vocal music m order that the minister's part m divine service may be more adequately rendered than is now frequently the case." An interesting debate took place m the Synod to-night on Sir John Hall's motion for the second reading of the bill to amend the canons m order to give women the right of voting at parish meetings. The bill was introduced some days ago by the Bishop of Waiapu, but on his heing called away by serious illness m his family Sir J, Hall took charge of the Bill. The Synod chamber was crowded throughout the evening and the greatest interest was evidenced m the debate. The Dean of Christchurch announced his intention of moving m committee an addition to the bill providing that before coming into operation it should be sub milted to the diocesan synods and come up again at the next session of the general synod. The President vehemently opposed the bill, and said that if the synod were to carry the second reading or let the measure go into committee he would leave the chair, protest before the whole church, and explain the reason of his re signation. He would not be a member of that Church which had made itself ridiculous m the face of Christendom by acting counter to what had been the tra dition of the conduct of the Church from the beginning up the present time. The debate was interrupted by the 10.30 adjournment.

Bryce inserted a letter m the Marton " Mercury " re questing the editor to apologise for what appeared m the paper a day or two ago. On Wednesday a son Gf Mr Bryce bought the goodwill of a perpetual lease section, and the " Mercury " two days after had a sub-leader m which it was implied that the purchase was made by Mr Bryce him self, and certain editorial strictures passed on his action. In reply to Mr Bryce the J editor says he implied no crime nor offence, and refuses to make further amends.

The annual report of the Chamber cl Commerce states that the demand for land for settlement purposes m the southern portion of the .North Island still continues, and the fullest facility should be given for this most desirable move ment ; but the Council goes on to express the opinion that the creation of a large class of State tenants would be most undesirable. It also doubts the wisdom of the present mode of disposing privately of large blocks of land to so called special settlement associations. The extinction of the Maori title over large areas de mands earnest consideration. Apropos of the Land and Income Tax the report insists that io is viewed with condemnation and alarm, and hopes the law will be modified before the new taxation is brought into operation.

A Georgia editor, who is also a real estate agent, a building and loan association director, an attorney-at-law, clerk of the town council, and pastor of the village church, was recently called upon to perform the marriage ceremony. He was m a great hurry—m fact, the couple surprised him m #he middle of a heavy editorial on the tariff. '* Time is money," said he, without looking up from his work. "Do you want her?" The man said " Yes." " And do you want him?" The girl stammered an affirmative. "Man and wife!" cried the editor. "One dollar. Bring me a load ot wood for it—one third pine, balance oak."
