SOCIETY FOR PROPAGATING THE
GOSPEL
To the Editor&

I should feel greatly obliged by your allowing me,
through your widely circulated columns, to address
• few words to the members of the Society for Pro-
pagating the Gospel in Foreign Parts. I was
pained the other day by reading in the
Morning Herald an account of a small but
influential meeting held in one of the rooms of the
society for the purpose of seeing how the Church of
England could fraternise with the Eastern Church.
No one feels more than myself the want of unity in
our own Church; no one regrets more than Ido
that we, as a body, do not hold the unity of the
spirit in the bond of peace. But, as a member of
our pare and Apostolic Church, and as a subscriber
to the above society, I do protest against their office
being prostituted to snob a purpose. Should the
Eastern Church consent to embrace us, what shall we
have to give up? What distinctive doctrine of our
reformed Church? Betides, it is not very possible
that those numerous dissenters who at present stand
aloof from us will be less likely to come into the
bosom of a Church, which is truckling for the
friendship or sympathy of another Church with
which we on many essential points differ. I would say,
rather let us first look at home at the thouands of
our fellow oountrymen who at present dissent from
us, and get them to enter the fold. But, should the
beads of this Society forget their distinctive charter
to Propagate the Gospel in Foreign Parts, and con-
tinue to identify themselves with so wild • scheme as
that to which I have referred, I for one shall cease
to subscribe to the fund of the Society._ •
Believe me yours very faithfully,
A MEMBER OF THE ANGLICAN CHURCH.
[We appreciate the Christian feeling of desire for
a union with orthodox, but not with apostate
churches—and cannot hold that relationiiMp with
these last would bring us under "One Lard, one
faith, one baptism."—Exh]
