several j icfiurdi unions recently consummated and to the warm fraternal greetings which passed between the several churches at their late synods mmf ka confer ences the loudon adtrriir rave the tendencies of the times would seem to- indicate an approaching harmonizing of religious denominations that will be as gratifying as it will be surprising a few years ago the several branches of presby- terianism in canada united into one organ ization this year we have seen a com plete union effected between all the different denominations that were 3f ethodist in their theology if not in name bat while these two great acts of unign have brought togeth- er denomations hitherto apart there have been some pithflritioss at christian courtesy among sects stih separated from each other that are fully as noteworthy utile jfeth- nrtfgg presbyterians baptists and can- gregtkinalists have always been w to reoognisethe rilidity of each others orders and exchange fraternal greetings whenever opportunity offered xhe episcopal body held aloof and has been content with keep ing up a street acquaintance with dissen ters as a certain church dignitary is re ported to have said- but the wall of exclu- srveness seems to be crumbling down in toronto the episcopal syiwd sent its dele gation with cordial greetings both to the presbyterian assembly and the methodist conference in london also last week the episcopals stretched out the hand to the methodists and their courtesies have been acknowledged and reciprocated by the bodies to whom they were extended there is no doubt that this exhibition of kmolj feeling will meet the hearty approval of the general public as well as of the vari ous churches represented a few bigoted fossils only excepted in this country trfaere all denominations are on a- perfect quality in the eyes of the law any attempfc- ad exclxtaiyeness or pretensions of superior ity on the part of any one sect is absurd every religions body here mast base its claims on its own foundation and inas- much as the general principles of the various ch ristifi n churches are identical their differences being connected more with matters ol disriplinff and with minor points of theology it is differ to see why they ihoahmtthaxmonhamore with etch other and be friendly even if they cannot be unit ed- absolute onion is hardly to be expect ed people will think differently on many poinfa and where they differ materially in their views it is not to be expected that they should work together in harmony better for thent to agree to differ and join hands only when the union can be real as well as nominal 1 notes and comments the 15tu inst has been fixed by the priry council as the day for hearmg argu ments on the boondry question the example long since sethy the united states and the more recent union move ment among the methodists of canada have not it would seem been without their imflnance in australia there the unhappy iriaionfl still prevail
