sixth in point of numbers among the
Protestant bodies of the United States,
with 1.213,SJ1 members in 1903 The
writer believes that this denomination
has the elemental principles about which
Christian union may rally. But cordial
recognition is also given to the princi-
pies of other bodies.
Mr.. Hall says: Although the Disciples
of Christ have the distinction of being
the pioneers in the movement for Chris
tian union. they are conscious that other
more powerful forces have been working
10 the achievement of their ideal. and
they ask no greater honor than the priv
ilege of contributing to that end. The
ambition of the leaders of this body is
that their plea for Christian unity like
that of the Moravians for worldwide
missions. may become the plea of all re-
ligious bodies. and that they may thus
sink into union with the body of Christ

Lutheran Survey. II the project is car.

prosecuting plans for the organization of

The design of the projectors is that
the magazine shall cover America and
Europe as its field, and draw especially
on Lutheran talent and scholarship for
its materials. Various departments are
to be conducted by a staff of editors,
and the ma sazine is intended to act, as
between the Lutheran bodies of the coun-
try, something of the same mart that is
performed by the Literary Digest in a
more general way.

speech before the convention in clear,

was already dead; that the Christian re-
ligion was no longer a live religion in tho

Japan's belief in them, he said, were
hard to contend against. Consequently
CHRISTIANS In Japan were longing for the
acceptance of their invitation. that
