When you hear the

realized.
But that trunk looks
like business.
What else does it

Better be sure that
it's strong, sound, pre-

several Of the large units of Christen-
dom there is at work a>spirit and pro-
gram of change that presaEes something
like an ecclesiastical Transformation. In
any such change, the question of union
is bound to bulk large. Here is the eX-
pertinent station ready to hand. The
way that has been pioneered by the
Presbyteriaus and the Auglicans will
surely be followed by all economically
minded churchmen. Instead of making
proselytes from the old bodies-a step
that may have been necessary in the

must be told in another article. If the

ton that it would not make proselytes
this branch Of the ancient eastern
church. The Presby yterians, also, who
have a great and venerable work here
no longer seek to get members from
the HISTORIAN Church, but they have
an agreement with the latter whereby
they will not rebaptize HISTORIANS, but
will keep those whom they have in
fluenced in the Old church, the latter
agreeing to let the Americans hold serv-
ices in their churches. Thousands Of
HISTORIANS have, during the war, taken
communion at the hands of Presbyter-
ian clergymen, who have also baptized
their children.
An Easy Route TO Union
To my surprise, l found not a trace
of religious bigotry among any of the
representatives of these diverse groups.
They frankly said, after l had put the
question, in varying forms, to each in
turn, that they were all willing and
eager to go back 20 the HISTORIAN
Church, with the large measure of in.
dividual liberty that would surely be
allowed, and make one religious body
The one condition TO which they ad
verted constantly was political and ply
sical safety. There is, they say, abso
lutely no real barrier to a reunion of all
Syrian Christians within the ecclesias
teal body.
From this the deduction is clear that
Christendom has, in this remote, yet
anciently great, corner Of the earth an
opportunity for an experiment in Chris
tian union that will be of priceless
value to a reorGanized church, such as
the war may make necessary. l have
