REUNION OF CHRSSTENDOM

'-'■Uinlcr-- the heading of "Can Chrislon-iloiri'.bef.-Hfliinitcd," the "Church Chronick>,";'a' Brisl)anc .Asiglionn ixipcr, says:,; .VC'flloiiiril Churchmen, ought to hnvo thematter continually upon, their hearts, and , to bo thinkins und'praying about the , - , conditions wilder which til* reunion, may bo tichiuved. What are those- conditions? The first which' wo would emphasise is : a frank recognition of (lie points/at issue "~ Mwcen tho. various■■ Christian denomin-' atifliis, Andtlwn, foccmily, wo would; emphasise the fact that any vision of re-'" union, if'if is to be realised, must bos-, all-embracing in' its scope. One cannot/ escape- tho -terrible, suspicion that, many',people.'who talk about reunion eonlciii-,--plate only α-reuniou of what they callfv the. Protestant Churches, and leavo the'-. , Boinan Church mul the ancient: Churches '- of ihe Hast altogether out of considera-:,'.: tion, ."But tho problem we have, to fnco is-the*division of Christendom, not the ■ divisions amongst English-speaking Chris-i. tians, and the solution of this problf.'in,-!-would be hindered rather than helped bj- : a;." reunion or federation amongst those;.;, comparatively small sections of tSio Chris-":I5 tion world' which historically represent :i a, common antagonism io tlio 'Clinithof;: Home.
