[E London Missionary

Lms Under Nz

Microscope

\ Society forced Cook

iders to accept mid-Victorian

s of conduct—and thus they

“frustrated and culturally

Dverished”.

iis seems to be the opinion of Territories Minister Webb and Zealand Herald —both having a great deal to say about the ip recently. i the credit side, however, Mr. b went on record as saying that LMS had done great work in png Christianity and a high il standard to the people. If it one fault it was conservatism, perhaps it was rather puri al in its outlook, e Herald found the LMS’s at e a barrier to cultural develop and noted the unhappy effect le Society’s total ban on in it Sunday sport. It reported a ment by the Resident Commis r of the Cooks who considered jMS’s influence in the political •e “not from all respects de le.” , W. Murphy, head of the LMS he Cooks, gave a contrary on. He considered that the g over of the former LMS Is throughout the Group by idministration had had an ad effect on the young people, onsiders the cure for Sunday ■beer parties is in the hands e police. He feels that Euro > are abusing their liquor per by selling liquor illegally to ocal people.
