as to the supreme Importance Of re-
spect for law. Upon this subject there
is no room for two opinions As
bishop Of this diocese | call upon all
our clergy and unon all our people,
the younger ones az we'll as the older
ones, to stand in this matter with their
whole strength for that respect for

ing it would stand as zone of the great
events Of history" He rejoiced that

to commit the different churches by its
action. 1t is this limitation of its scope
which has given confidence in the un-
dertaking and has made it practicable
one. But for this, many of the com
munions participating would have been
unwilling to take part in it. 1t is to be
only conference, but its membership
Will be world wide. Its hope will be
to make R real beginning. Its purpose
will be the fulhllmcnt Of Our Lords
