HOW DENOMINATIONS AROSB â€" THE TENDENCY TO UNIONâ€"FORCES AT WORKâ€"THE NEW TESTAMENT THE SOLE BASIS. Last week I spoke of the fundamental principle of our Baptist churchesâ€"un- questioning obedience to the revealed will of God. This evening, I wish to consider the possibility of denominational union. In the time of our Saviour, there was not this problem. It is true that a tendency to disunion manifested itself very early. but this was scored severely by our Lord and his apostles. His purpose, as well as his prayer, was for union among his followers and. so far as organization was concerned, this unity was maintained. With the religious‘ awakening of the sixteenth century, denominationalism became rampant. Liberty ran into license and loyalty to truth became a divider instead of a nnifier. The world has become weary of this, and now we are feeling back after union. This is as it should be. We cannot love each other too intently, nor can we come into too close relations. If we ever have church union then, when shall be its nature? First of all, it must be a union in Christ. Through a common faith in him, as our Saviour, and a common spirit of loyalty to him, we are related, ni through this we must be drawn closer together. Without union in Christ as our Lord, no union in organization is advisable. To have union we must also have, in some measure, a common vlew of divine teaching, common aim: in our church life, and. above all, a common Eaffection for each other. The union con- templated by Christ was a union of heart and purpose. but it was also a union in outward organization, The language of the new testament is explicit. Jesus prayed “ keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one. as we are.” His “other sheep” who were not “of this fold" he1 must also bring, that there might be “one fold and one shepherd.” The Master’s teaching was supplemented by that of the apostles. Paul’s denunciation of sectar- ianism in Corinth rings in our ears, “ It hath been declared unto me that there are contentions among you. . . . Every one of you saith.I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephae, and I of Christ: ‘Ie WudbldMJJL, .H in the bond of peace,” “there is one body an as you are called in, calling. one Lord, one one God and Fathe W‘,di’vidvfi_ljir ~HPu-fi17‘vm Spit“. in the bond of peace,” pointing out that “there is one body and one spirit, even ' one hope of your , Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all. The church our Lord founded was not a con- glomeration of “Paulieian.” “Apollin- arian," “Petrine” and “Christian," or “Baptist," “Methodist,” “Presbyterian and “Catholic" denominations. but a single body, with a single head. consisting of Christian people, organized into a vital unit, as its “members,” That we have not: such union need not |be discussed.

We must not forget the large measure of unity we already enjoy. Our cardinal beliefs are largely the same. Our distinguishing doctrines have often been seen from another side, or their sharpness blunted by charity. This unity is becoming more comprehensive yearly. The old strong distinction batman Calvinism and Armin- ianlsm has largely vanished upon a closer view. It was the head that divided us, but our hearts are bringing us back. There may not be union in your time or mine, but where our hearts lead, we assurdedly follow ultimately. I now come to the difficult matter of suggesting a basis of union. Unquestionâ€" ably this cannot be found in an agree- ment to give up principles that are held as-mattere of conscience. Such would be no Christian union but sn unholy confed- eration. In my opinion, no mere conven- tional agreement is possible. We cannot send delegates together to hit upon a code of doctrine and practice that may com- mend itself to their wisdom; for first. they would never agree, and if they did, disintegrating causes would soon spoil the pretty piece of unification. Men have too “many minds” to come to such an agreement upon lines laid down by them- selves. Instead, we must be constrained by some mutually recognized authority and his will has been expressed in his revelation. In the bible, in the physical universe, in the mind of man, he has given a revelation of Himself, all of which we must study to get our view of doctrine; but our view of the constitution and practice of the church must be derived from the New Testament alone. Not from the Old Testament, for the organlz ulon described there has fulfilled its functions and been closed up by the Lord himself, who has in its place given us, through Himself and his apostles, an entirely new, distinct and unrelated organization with different officers, mode of worship, ordin- mces and aims. In seeking for outward church union, therefore, we must insist upon the authority of the New Testament alone as to the church’s outward firms, and we must study this book to know what is the will of God, and then we must conform with what we find revealed there. As authorities, the creeds, con- fessions, formularies and theologies of the churches are absolutely worthless. Theie can be no appeal to them. Possibly they once had a place, asan expression of the opinions of their framers as to divine teaching, but when they become cords to bind freedom of thought, they are an injury. The word of God alone is our standard of faith and the New Testament alone our standard of practice. May I venture the opinion that our systematic statements of doctrine and formal .state- u\â€"â€"'â€"-_V.. ‘ , manta nF twentieth-u- km“..- .. 8.3.). n content to have a theology as Inform f3 expression as Paul's, one of the causes of denominational separateness would hate vanished. Is there really any mater- ial diflerence in doctrine, as held by the masses, that should hold asunder the Presbyterians, Congregationalism and Methodists of to-day? Furthermore, if the New Testament is the only authority as to the constitution, oficers, ordinances, ‘ etc., of the church, private judgment and interpretation beco to get our own views of truth, to interpret the bible for ourselves without reference to the interpretations of the fathers, the confession or the church. r. A ‘ UUHIVIl-av To obtain this union then, we must return to the word of God. We must study it, not as advocates trying to establish a case, but as learners trying to ] know the truth. There must be a deter- | mination to comply with the results of ‘euch learning. A young man once called I on me to enquire into my view of a certain I doctrine. After some conversation, in ‘ which he expressed himself, resolved to search into the question, I asked: “But will you act on what you find? ” A peculiar expression came over his face as ' hat might cause me to leave the church I belong to," and then further, “but I will act on what I find.” He did right, The unworthy attempts to check such a move by appeals to family traditions, social relations. worldly success, anything. else whatever, viction that whithersoever it i have you Mohammedans on conviction ' than Baptists against your convictions.
