On the whole the spirit of charity and brotherhood
which animated tho General Assembly Of the Pres
byterian Church just adjourned was most COM
mendable. 1t is evident that the time is coming
when n basis of union for the great Presby terian
denominations will be not only discussed, but
finally adopted. The tendency of Presbyterianism
to split up into sects has no doubt been q great
drawback to the successful prosecution of its work.
and Presbyterians themselves have freely acknowl-
edged the existence of this weak spot in their sys
tenn 1t is worthy of note that the Earl of Aberdeen
has written thoughtful article for The fortH0hty
Reriep In which he discusses the possible union OF
the various Presbyterian bodies of Scotland. The
outlook for such union 10 perhaps hardly so hope
full in Scotland as it is in this country but the
thought has taken root in the minds OF the people,
and in time it will bear fruit. Presbyterianism
would at once take it's place one of the most pow
erful forces in Christendom. were it united In
organization, as 1t is practically in creed
