CHRISTIAN UNITY.
Thoughtful Sermon By the
Bishop of Victoria.
Yesterday being Whit Sunday St. John's Cathedral was choicely decorated with palms and red and white floors, and festal services were the order of the day. Proach ing at Matins the Bishop of Victoria dealt with the appeal for prayers for the reunion of Christ endom which had been signed by the ministers of the various denominations in Hongkong.
The Bishop took as his text Acta 2. v, 1.--" When the day of Pentecost was fully come, they wore all with one accord in one place."
A new spirit, said Hie Lordship, entered into the world nonrly nineteen hundrod years ago and that that spirit was still working, no one could dany. He douired to draw their attention to the unity of the Spirit, which was apparent on the day of Pentecost. The Christians referred, to in the text had, shortly before, been disput- ing as to who should be the greatest. Amongst themselves they represented different classes of society, different interests and divergent pursuits, but on that
there day
was something in the heart of each of them, that drew him and her to that one place. They realised that they worshipped one Lord that they had one faith and one baptism All slike believed in the resurrection and ascension of Jesus Obriek, and it was when they were of one accord that the Spirit of God was poured out upon them, and their witness was believed because it was as the witness of one,
Spiritual Unity Wanted.
Developing this point, the preacher proceeded to deal with the desire for re-union in tho Christian Church, but first of all it was necessary to get that spiritual unity which manifested itself at Pentecost, buck into their Own Church and congregation: It was absolutely essential for true worship, for it was where brethren were gathered together that God's blessing was poured out. There was, he claimed; ample room for High or Low Church, for those who loved ceremonial-call them Ritualists if they liked and for those who desired the plainest of Puri- tanical services. There was room for those whose musical instincts made it possible for them to use it for the service of God, and for those who did not appreciate music, but desired the service to be of the plainest.
Things which Destroy Unity. "But" said the Biebop, Thore is no room for a party spirit; no

though not himself signing the appoul, had assured them that he was thoroughly with them and that he and his people were joining in the same prayers with them That was a matter for which they could be thankful.

Speaking of how the union was to be brought about, the pronchar. did not think the purpoes could be served by striking out all things upon which they disagreed. it was not by compromies of that sort that union would be brought abut, bat by each asserting what lie believed. It would no he by compromising for the sake of peace that union would be at tained, but by comprehension for the sake of truth. They must be true to their communion, and pray for the great re-union of Christ-Straits ianity.
