ing them to Christ. The speaker WAS
here interrupted by applause, which WAS
promptly checked by the chairman. Mr.

knew with what JOY the Indians learned
that one of their number was sent as

wouldjo with him in his prayers of

Discussion OH Uniting with tise Eng
Iish Church. -aa
The resolutions offered by DR. Schcnck
were then taken up to be acted upon and
Rev. Dir. Meade opposed their pasSag"
in spirit, exhibiting great aniInosIty
towards the English Church. He said they
were asked To- consent Ia let tn" Bishop
act in this farce for it was nothing else.
He claim"d that the Church of England
had always been hostile to the. Church of
America and wa, not the mother church,
bat could only be regarded n kind Of
stcp-moth,r. They ought TO regard the
Church of Scotland in closer relationship
than the Church of England.
Rev. DR.. Schenck replied in support Of
MS motion, aud argued that the meeting
of the Church Congress in England was
not Tor the propagation Of any dogma or
theory, but only for commpnion,
like this body here, for mutual
interest of the Church. H. thought
they were making too much Of the matter
which was only one Of forInality or
courtesy.
Rev. Dr. Morton, Of Virginia. and Rev.
DR.. Viuton, Of Massachusetts, spoke su
the same subject. The latter said that
tine resolution was gratuitous fu'one res
pcct and full Of mischief in another Ii
the Conference was 10 he only 4. social
gathering the House cf, Deputies had no
occasion to say word upon the subject.
