tions Practically Unanimous.

stand Tor Christian unity, the broadest,
heartieSt stand taken by any denomination

Gospel to the world.
4. Liberty of conscience In the interpre
tation of the Scriptures and their admin

tives, and should have for its objects,
among others:
l. Mutual ACQUAINTANCE and fellowship.

missions.
