TALKING IT OVER.
Universalists and the Action of the
Church Federation.


Boston, Oct. 17.-An invitation re-
ceived by DR. d. NJ Hodge to attend
the meeting OF the Massachusetts state
council, Federation OF Churches, at Pill
grim hall on October 80, was the sub
ject Of discussion Yesterday BY Univer-
salist ministers gathered in Ballou hall.
With the controversy now on regard
ing the exclusion of Unitarians, Univer-
salists and Roman Catholics from the
national federation, DR.. Hodge desired
to know what he had better do about
attending the Boston meeting. He said
that he was sorry to see the evangelical
brethren narrowing down to sectarian-
ism, for in his opinion that is what it
amounts to. DIR. Hodge stated further
that he could not make out why Roman
Catholics are excluded when all the doc
trines of the Protestant denomination
originated from that body of religion
lists. 1t was voted that DIR. Hodge ac-
cept the invitation and represent the
Universalist ministers at the meeting
in Boston.
The Congregational ministers in Pill
grim hall had the action of the Fedora
ton of Churches brought to their at
tention by the Rev. +. S. Hunnewell of
Reading. He said he felt very strongly
on the action of the federation in regard
to excluding the Universalists from the
convention. He presented resolution
which disapproved of the action. 1t
was voted to refer the resolution to the
executive committee with instruction to
report to the meeting next Monday.
