b Referring to the communion service
at DR.. Adams church, in which meni-
bers Of the Alliance Of all denomina-
tions participated, the Baptist Union
says: We saw several Baptist ministers
present who took the bread ard cup with
the saints, and gave a good testimony
for. Christian communion. High Church.
ism received a tremendous blow by this
union service. What can proscriptive
Episcopalians say in defence of their
dogmas when the Dean of Canterbury
unites with a Presbyterian ministering
tlae sacred supper? How can close COM
munion Baptists persist inexclusiveness
when their, leading men participate in
such service as this? Surely the Spirit
OF Christ is dissolving the fetters of Sec
tarianism, and making us all better
Christians, whatever may be the fate of
customs which have. divided us into
sects. The influence OF that blessed hour

salutary, widespread and lasting"
