From the Philadelphia Bulletin, Oct A.
We happened, fortunately, To be present Epiphany

beyond our expectations Some time since sppears,

the religious and some of the daily journals the bearing
OF which was that they they deeply concerned at
the divisions among Christians. They proposed that there
should be concert OF prayer for catholic unity the
first Monday in October
Tho Rev. J. W. Carcrof offered the Epiphany church,
Fifteenth and Chestnut streets, for meeting OF the
tiers at nine O'Clock. When arrived tho church,
perhaps twenty minutes after nine, found crowded
in almost every part with audience OF ladies gen.
Nemen. This, OF itself, al early hour, on u week
day was exciting. Looking around we saw everywhere
ccrgymen Of all denominations, aud have been told
that one hundred and fifty present Mr.. Cra,rort
presided ministers of the churches crowdng about him

to the assemblage few words breathing the spirit Of
Christian union The Chairman then called upon the
nerabe Dr. Humphrey OF the Congregational church, late
President of Amherst College, Massachusetts, who res
ponded IN similar strain, marked with much modesty
well as Christian feryor
The Rev. W. B. Stevens, D D. of the EPISCOPAL church
who as we understood from his remarks drafted the orr
gna paper then addressed the meeting stating that he
had not imagined when he wrote ii in his study that such
consequences were to grow out Of simple and unobru

were interspersed at intervals. Dr. Jenkins Of the Cal
vary church Presbyterian On. made very earnest
speech the necessity of the manifestation Of the Unity
which really exists among Christians, stating among
other things that there is for all existing divisions
The most interesting incident of the meeting occurred at
this pont-an incident so far know, unparalleled in
the history of Professionalism. DR.. Nevn, of the Presby

Creed was one of the symbols Of his church, and might
be Of all the churches represented and proposed that Mr.
Cracro should repeat the creed Of the meeting all

simplicity of children this grand old formula which has
come down to us the stream of ages-I believe il
