The proceedings Of the Pan-Auglican Confer
tnce haslbeen marked by much secrecy, and II has
been decided that the debates shall not be published
but only the conclusions at which the Synod has
arrived. The Synod have carefully avoided touching
upon the Ritualistic question: and the proceedings
have been marked 10y great unanimity and good
feeling This desideatum has been achieved, in
consequence of the seemingly understood mle that
10 attack was to be made the Trejudices or Tac-
tees of any who were present. Consequently no.
body condemned the Auninianisun Of the High
Church OF the Calvinisn of the Low, and both sec
tions of the Church can, before depend, the one
ON its faith the other on IFS works There was one
pOn in which all could unite, viz To condemn Dr..
COlenso On one other point both could agree; That
il would be for the benefit of all Protestant Chris
tians to enroll themselves under the banner OF the
Anglican Church, which was 10 be no longer an IN
SuaT, but Universal Church.
The first resolution agreed 10 by the Bishops eX-
pressed great sorrow at the divided condition of
the flock of Christ throughout the world. ana then
asserted their belief that all hope Of future reunion
would be found IN drawing nearer, 10 our common
Lord and in returning to the faith aud discipline o
the undivided Church, which was the pnuclple OF
the English Reformation.
Another resolution upon which they agreed was
that whenever a new BIShopTic was established the
PrimateS of the Church including the Presiding
1t Was also decided TO draw mp forms of recon-
mandatory letters for cleTgymen and laymen passing
from one diocese to another throughout the world,
and that no clergyman should be allowed TO oiclate
i'm auy diocese without such letter from his Bishop.
This was the work of Tuesday last the first day Of

fiOns and cannot therefore, yet understand how
fhev are to control the Bishops and Clergy

was decided however that il should be attempted
10 provde in the future for the enforcement OF disc

Xew TO secure this, all Bishops at their conservation

summon all the Bishops OF the Province TO SIT with
him in the hearing Of the or that III case were
should do so.
The Conference also took into consideration what
safeguards should he required from colonial and
other churches not legally connected with the Church
of England 10 their sOundness in doctrine and dis
cplne and 10 the condition OF their maintenance
in spiritual and ecclesiastical communion with the
Mother Church. On Thursday the discussions referred
principally to Cooperation In Missionary Action IL
was deemed desirable that IN case OF any missionary
being sent into sphere over which there is Bishop
in communion with the Anglican Church, ne snail at
once subordinate himself to such Bishop, 50 that IN
future in foreign lands English missionaries VIII Dc
subject to American missionary Bishops, and wee

This is all vet ascertain except that 1T has
been decided that il is advisable To supercede Dr.

churches Of the world vino are in the Anglican Com

The American Bishops were "A solid phaanX on the
questions relating TO the doctrines OF the Church,
and thoroughly agreed with the English
Bishops OH the COlenso question. In other
matters except those relating to the faith once
delivered TO the saints" there decided leaning
in the Conference toward " broad Guardianship y
and muscular Christianity" and such feeling
found eloquent eXponents in the Bishops OF london,
Oxford Rhode Island. Louisiana, Montreal and the
Assistant Bishops of Ohio. Bishop Whitehonse of
Illinois and Bishop Hopkins took prominent part in
the discussions.
