I'VE are very thankful TO believe that |
Notwithstanding differences between
Christians. yet, because of the wide ac-
ceptance Of the underlying basic prin-
ciplc OF haptismal unity, there is good
hope OF the fulhllment of our blessed
Lords high priestly prayer, which calls
for constant thought ana prayer and
conscientious effort on the part of His
disciples for the accomplishment of re-
union throughout Christendom.
Believing that many OF the evils now
under review arise from the lack. both
among our own people and others, OF
sufficient knowledge and proper under
standing Of our history, and of the gen
eral principles OF our organic church.
we would urge the more common use OF
such publications and Literature as Will
tend to supply this lack"
