THE contradictory reports that
come respecting the details Of

tc the front matter that should be
noticed by those interested in historic

A great many events supposed TO
have transpired long since are called
in question and treated with Doubtful
confidence, because the accounts given
OF them are in so many particulars mu-
tUaIy contradictory
An interesting example of this was

fused records preserved OF the event
instead OF destroying confidence in its
occurrence worked Just the opposite

CONGREGATIONAL and Episcopal churches

them bringing together men from all

work has been found necessary than
was expected Reports o. unity plans
tried out in Australia and South Africa
were presented and discussed, and were
neld to have some bearing upon the sit

prevailing judgment that the world
conference, when held, should sit in an
American and not in a European city
Tie striking feature in the unity sit
