arise upon them and that the intercourse between
churches is better left TO those broad and goaerd
principles, well deiI ed, interviewer with Chrsuu
Kindness and equity which should govern Christians

with such ecclesiastical bodies as arc out OF our couA
tr, with such bodies IN our own country with whom
correspondence may be desirable. Tho object may b
oaned by the mutual interchange of minutes Of aRnai
meetings.
