our immediate concern to take whatever
measures may be advisable to secure the
best possible presentation to the confer
ence of the matters to be considered.
In so doing we cannot, however, remain
Indifferent to present conditions, which
may either promote or tend to thwart
the purposes and hopes which the APP
preaching world conference should fulfill.
Let scholars, Catholic and Protestant,
give freely to the people whatever light
from their historical studies they can
throw over these subjects. More than
that, it is of essential Importance for us
to seek to understand what in the reli-

of real value which they would not lose
and which should be conserved in the one

each Christian communion may avoid as

and done as if in preparation for the
coming together of faithful disciples from
every nation and tongue to implore
fresh outpouring of Gods Holy Spirit"
