THE M1H1srERrAr. UNION.
Tho late conduct Of Bishop Cummins waB the
popular theme at tho ministerial Association
meeting. yesterday morning. 1t was generally
aud consistent course. Fho influence of his
conduct, 1t WIS believed, would not greatly In
orease tho evangelical party In this country:
This could not bo looked for until that
party had bocomo moro potential tn Eagland:
Nor was this party likely to inorease IN England
80 long as there is union Of Church aud 6tate.
The difference between tho Cun1nins, Wesloy
and Old Catholic movements, was noted, aome
contonding thero was a similarity. and new
Church party possible. One eminent divine
ventused to inquire whether or not the Bishop
would bo ablo to carry With him the "Apostoli-
ca1 Succession z"
