THINKS THERE Is NO DANGER
OF SPLIT OK SCHISlI

Bishop Edsall. in his statement. said:
Il am not pesSimiStic enough to be-
licvc that there is any real danger of
IL split or schism in our beloved church
but there is grave reason TO fear that
there will he Il great deal of bitter
feeling stirred up with consequent dis
advantage TO the unity and efficient
work Of our church. both at home and
; abroad, unless heated partisans on
. either side shall be given grace enough
TO exercise some reasonable control
ever their tempcrs. tongues ana pens.
Some within our church feel that
we arc under solemn obligation to
the cause of ultimate Christian unity
to maintain courteous relations with
the Protestant conmunions about us
Others in our church. equally con-
scientious. believe that any possible
good Of sending delegates to Panama
viii be more than outwcighed by the
danger of becoming involved between
cntangling alliances and III feeling to-
ward MS with the Roman Catholic
, Church. and further insist we should
! beware lest in cultivating closer rcla-
tions with Protestant Christianity we
do not widen the brca-h which scpa-
rates us from Rome and the East"
The bishop pointed out that the pub
lishcd proceedings of the board show
that in the resolution and declaration
adopted, 1t is stated. in reference to
the Panama Congress. that:
1T is not Ia he a gathering for lcris-
lation on ecclesiastical questions, or
, even on matters Of missionary policy.
81, shall he the purpose OF the
Panama Congress To recognize all the
clements of truth and goodness in any
form of religious faith. Its approach
To the people shall he neither critical
nor antagonistic, but inspired by the
teaching and example OF Christ, and
that charity which thinkcth no evil
and rcjoiceth not In iniuuity. but re-
joiccth in the truth
Resolved. That our delegates go for
conference only and with no purpose
authority or power Of committing this
board to cooperation"
In the mind of any fair-mindcd man."
the bishop says. the question was re-
duced To simply that OF cxpedicncy or
Panama. In my own personal opinion.
based on what heard from the bishops
In charge OF our work In Latin -Ameri-
can countries, il was not only eX-
pedicnt. but right. that we should send
delegates to Panama; and further
feel that ii would he iuVidious TO as
sumo that the men who have been
choser M our delegates cannot ITO
trusted to safeguard the position OF
our church in any conferences they
may hold with others who are carry
ins on work in Latin America"
