The Order of the Holy Gross.

Rev. Langdon Quimby, u. d., has
received the University Degree Of
PhD. for high attainments in the de-
partment of philosophy and for his
original contribution TO the cause Of
Christian unity. He has for a num-
Der of years been making a critical
and philosophic study of the liturgies
and forms of organization of all
branches of the Christian church. an
Client and modern, and the results of
his study have been embodied in the
society known as The Order of the
Holy Cross OF which he is the founder
His final thesis upon the above order
for which the degree. Doctor Of
Philosophy" has been granted, furn-
ishes an adequate basis for the re-
union of all churches. and the organi-
zation of all Christian forces for the
redemption of society. and the uplift
of humanity. 1t preserves the com
plete independence of each local
church In its creed liturgy and or
ganization. and yet il furnishes
definite appeal and basis upon which
all churches may unite in behalf of
the common tasks which lie before the
Christian world.
Moreover the order seeks the re-
union OF all fraternal, social, indus
trial and educational organizations,
which have grown out of the ideals
and life of the church. but are now
unfortunately separated from her in
elusive power. 1t is therefore not
only inter denominational, but also
seeks its membership from all the
varied organizations which are now
working for the common welfare of
human life.
The main divisions of the order are
the parish church, with its own forces
fully organized. and also vitality con-
nected with community and world
through which all local churches and
societies unite for the common tasks
of that community and the united
church. in which the grouping of all
Christian forces seek the betterment
of man and the coming of the King
dom of God.
The order has been pronounced by
clergymen and other religious leaders
in different parts of the country as by
far the most practical step toward
Christian unity that has yet appeared.
The parish. communal and united
chapters of the order are already fully
organized with strong membership
in each body, and with distinguished
citizens elected as officers. Separate
books representing the different divi-
sions of the order will be published in
the near future
