HAMMOND. cee OR ee ee Christian Unity Tertins, in Toronto Globe * Speaking of Christian unity, there | can be no doubt that out of a large | number of proposals made for the re- | habilitation of religion after the war, | one of the most important is the en- | deavor to end ecclesiastical divisions. | A volume has recently been issued, | wholly occupied with the subject of |§ "Religious Reconstruction After the}; War," which is called "a Cambridge |- program," and contains contributi ions! 5 of fourteen prominent Cambridge | scholars. One of them writes on 'The | Message of the War to the Clergy." and his article practically ends with ! these significant words; "And lastly, we must have Re- union in our Christendom. It is surely no longer tolerable that bodies of Christians equally de- Vout, equally effective in mission- ary work, (which is the supreme test), loving the Father, serving one Lord and Saviour, inspired by one Holy Spirit, should go on thwarting each other while the _tide.of unbelief and wickedness rised unchecked." This is not by any means the only voice pleading for unity, for the ap- peal is heard on almost every hand, and it is most welcome, for, unless the Churches unite, their power will grow less and less as time goes on.
