To those who look for the reunion of nothing less than the whole of Christendom, the strengthening of every component part appears essential to the perfect whole, and such will acknowledge the work done by the C.H.S.KH. through its Unity Committee and otherwise A real efort has been made to carry on in China-the work which was so prominent a feature of the Lambeth Conference of the Ang lican Communion in 1920.
