| JacobiJ,s, Munophysites, the Egyp'ia iabs,
and all The earlier churches wlich marked
| the schisms OF the early Christian Church
| Recommended that the Eastern Caurch was
| conservative and preserved the tradition
| ana law as to the real presence in the host
as il was laid down by tue fathers
| /
| OF the real presence in The sacrament Just
/ as it was held before the separation of the
eastern ana western churches. This was
| proved, he said, by reference to the iitur-
| eies of each of the churches named.
| An exceedingly Interesting part OF this
| address was the speakers description OF

because they say Judas went out the otner
way from the Lords supper; and in Con

I eucharist through the deacons.
! The Maronite liturgy contains IN sew
| enty-two places reier"pcc TO the real
presence, and it is a custom that children,
after the Injunction of the Savior. shall
| be brought to the altar, where thelr heaos
are touched with the chaiice.
He said that il obedience to the supreme
| authority and a few minor points were
| eliminated it would be difficult TO discover
any difference between the Eastern Church
| and the Roman Church. The Christians

| Church. and would join it if certain diff
ferences were reconciled-'
