LITTLE HOPE OF CHURCH UNITY
Bishop Scarborough Delivers Himself Be-
fore The New Jersey Oscese

Bishop Scarborough spoke plainly |
in his annual address at the conven-
tion of the New Jersey Diocese. of |
the Protestant Episcopal Church, |
which closed its sessions at New |
Brunswick, N. j., last Wednesday,
regarding the attitude of the church
toward those in the pulpit who look
with longing eyes toward the Vati-
can. He said little encouragement
for church unity would come from
Rome. On this subject the Bishop
said: 81 do hope that the next
general convention will either undo
legislation about which there is rsuch
room for difference of Interpretation
or give such definition of its intent
as will make its meaning clear, and
thus relieve the conscience of those
who are distressed by the present
seeming looseness of practice under
the guise of law. If the church
means what is ordinarily understood
by the prase "open pulpit" let it
be so stated clearly and distinctly in
plain words and free from obscurity.
There is a spirit of unrest abroad
in the Christian world today manifest
ing itself in many directions and in
many forms. Quite recently it has
come to light though long suspected,
that there are some men ministering
at our affairs in apparent honesty,
who are looking with longing gaze to
the Vatican for recognition, anxious
to ally themselves with the Papacy
and accept its very dogma, old or
new.
Such men are dishonest and
betrayers, and a source of weakness
to the church while they remain in it.
We long and pray for the restoration
of church unity, but it will never
come from that direction. Rome
will make no concessions. She will
not recognize any baptisms, confirm
tions or ministry but her own as
valid There must be absolute and
unconditional submission, and they
who are looking and hoping for any
| compromise in that quarter will
surely be disappointed of theil
hopes. AS honest men they should
/ not halt long between two opinions,
, but boldly make the venture which
their consciences seem to approve anC
demand and seek more congenia
associations.
