*Differences of doctrine, it is trae, keep the Churches apart, and the day of final reconciliation between the estranged elementa of Christendom is still afar of Bat that, happily, does not affect the convergence of view-point on the great issues which are now being decided: There are cranks, of course, who are ssizing on present circumstances to push their views concerning the union of Christendom, thinking that because there is common agreement on one point there can be unity of belief on all. For example, the suggestion was made in one of the Homs papers recent- ly that, inasmuch sa "Church" and "Chapel" soldiers were fighting together in the trenches, “all devout persons, of whatever denomina- tion, should meet together for common prayer" on the Day of Intercession. It was for the establishment of a "Coalition Church" that the author of this proposal was pleading, and he asked why, if politicians could coalsace, ecclesiastica could not do likewise. Well-meat as ideas of this order co doubt are, they betray a deal of inverted and distorted thought. The point which is overlooked by people who indulge in these pions hopes is that, in concentrating their energies solely on a war of which they all approve, car political leaders meet on ground where their party views do not come into conflict. That is why there can be a very real union so far as the issue of the day is concerned and yet, coincident with it, adherence to differing political opinions on other and less pressing questions, Similarly, the religious beliefs of our soldiers are unaffected by the fotthats common osuse, altogether above and beyond mere doctrinal differences, find them fighting side by side on the world's battlefield. On the other hand, a temporary union of the Churches of Christ- ezdom during the war, were it for one moment possible, would be a hollow stam and the variest hypocrisy, for, inasmuch as the MP.
