referred in conclusion to the unfriendly prOphe-
cy IN ROmanistic quarters that our American
Professionalism is failure; but the failure is not
an inherent weakness of PrOtestantism, but a
waning of its originally aggressive and spiritual
character. The remedy for all this is a return
to the Christ idea of his church in its social,
spiritual and originally missionary character;
and he urged upon this new church, now so
ausplciously forming, a rededication of them
selves to the great and glorious mission of per-
sOnal and organized labor for the salvation of
men.
In the few remarks made by Rev. Mr. Phillips
in giving the right hand of fellowship TO the
church, he spoke so kindly and ieelinoly of the
number who came out from the Plymouth
| church that many cheeks were moiStancd He
said that while he regretted very much the
| parting with so many who but short time ago
| gave him the right hand of fellowship as their
| PASTOR he could now with pleasure give them,
with all associated with them, the hearty right
| hand of fellowship as a sister church, wishing
| them success in the future in the great work
| winch they had undertaken for the Master.
