Dr. PECK explained the reasons why the action tsAeI
by the Conference last week was 10 be considered hns
He had hoped that they had gone through win tne
drudgery OF the matter and that now they might nave
an opportunity express their feelings on the great SUD
ject OF Christian Unity H.,
Rev JoHx FORD thought some small amendments were
desirable He would have the basis maze orosoer 'nsn

IL might appear as distinct branch OF the Ecumenlcsi
Alliance Rev Mr. VAN ZANDT spoke against tne ProPo-
doubtful whether they would be recognized he thought
thew would he thought that the British brethren might
relax some Of their urasms OF sternness ana ne "Ouiu
not even whisper too loudly the poss0hty that tnsy
might not But until they did he would stand somewhat
on reserved rights
pretty long debate then ensued as to whether Love
IN God should be introduced into the articles as one OF

that thew were in earnest when they made such sne
decaton against the worst evil in the word was tnst
Christianity He feared the consequences the "hoe
of their attempt would be failure.
DR. Cox opposed the resolution OF Mr.. bAssKTT. Inc
Alliance was not strong enough to bear II hereafter
