ClerGymen OF Various Den0msna-
tions Testify 10 the Renedt
Received From 10.

The Seattle Ministerial Association
meeting at the Y M. L. A. rooms yester-
day forenoon was largely of the nature
OF q mutual admiration society. In the
absence Of the chairman. Rev. T.. r.
Whitman was chosen presiding officer
pro tenn. Rev. W. A. Major opened the
subject Ministerial Association, AMI
told how he had bean benefited by coming
into contact with preachers of other de-
nomination in the minister meetings lie
spoke particularly of the better under
standing OF Christian work In general
that he had gained thereby. Others ex-
pressed similar sentiments. Although
the association Is composed OF preachers
who advocate their distinctive doctrines
with considerable emphasis. the senti-
ment OF the meeting was strongly In the
direction OF finding basis of common
belief. rather than In the discussion of
doctrinal differences, One preacher ex-
pressed an opinion that part OF the
truth was held by all churches. and that
when Jesus Christ came back TO earth
again he would be obliged to include all
the denominations in order TO get all the
truth together again. In the discussion
some good things ware said about Roman
Catholics and Unitarians. touching the
sincerity Of their beliefs,
In all respects the session was in har-
mony with similar meetings in the lead
ing cities, where the general preachers
meetings are steadily breaking down sec
tartan pTejudices among preachers. Dur
Ing the meeting attention was called 20
Naye's topical Bible and 'Jannes and
Jambres." two publications of special In
terest to ministers. The latter Is q dis
cnssion OF spirituaiism and theasopty
from the orthodox standpoint. Owing 10
the absence of the chairman Of the exacu-
tive committee, there was no report Of
the census OF church attendance recently
taken IN Seattle. The subject for The
next session of the association on De-
eember q Is 1.-THE Prayer Life OF George
Muller. by Rev. s. c. Ohrum.
