"Now there are diversities of. gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are diversities of ministry! tions, and the same Lord, And there are diversities of working, but the same God, who worketh all things in all."--16 Cor. 124. Whit Sunday is the day on which congregations are asked to beari in mind the subject of Christian unity. There has probably never been a time when the Master's earnest desire that His people might all be one was more widely and deeply shared, compelling the Churches to examine the grounds and extent of their separations and to consider how far these may be the cause of unbelief in the world. Unity, however, is an ideal which may be very variously conceived. We have heard of the Minister of Educa tion who derived infinite satisfac- tion from the thought that at a given hour every morning every child of a certain age in France was beginning precisely the same school lesson. Pleasing, to the bureaucrat no doubt, but enough to drive any real trainer of young life to despair. Similar, to the well as in Christianity, and the mind of many of us, is the con- Chinese or Hindoo understands ception of a Church universal as readily as other intelligent ዜና a vast centralised organisa- people "that the existence tion under 2. hierarchy, branches is no reproach to the uniform in its creed, its worship, trunk but may rather be a proof of its administration.

Union was effected some time ago between the voluntary Presby terian Churches in Scotland, and now there is hopeful prospect of a still larger scheme including also the old. Established Church. Similarly the union of smaller Methodist, bodies in England seems likely to lead on to a link- ing up between them, and the mother Wesleyan Church.
In Canada
have matters gone much further. Little has been heard of the movement because of preoccupation with the war, but if the decisions of the Church assemblies concerned are carried, as they doubtless will be, the Presbyterian, Metho- dist and Congregational com- munities in the Dominion will, presently have organized into a single united Church. There is even, we understand, a consider- able minority in the Episcopalian Church in Canada în favour of joining in with these others. Here in China it is becoming evident that the denomina tional divergences of Britain and America are not going to be perpetuated in Chinese Chris- tianity. Projects for union are being formed, and this very year the evangelical Churches of the Canton district, or most of them, have actually achieved a union.
All this is very notable. It means that differences in creed and in method of government have fallen into the secondary place which is proper to them. Good points in different methods
are being adopt.

The war, also, we are told, has broken many barriersand weaken- ed many more. We hear of Ünited services between Anglican and Nonconformist, held not in a neutral hall, but in one or other of their Churches. Pulpit ex- changes seem to have become fairly common and nothing
untoward has resulted from them. Talk of reunion is in the air, and not a few plans and compromises have been suggested for achieving it.

The crux of course lies in the difficulties of attaining organic union between the Anglican Established Church and its Protestant neighbours, a subject which has been most copionsly discussed in England during the last year or two. It is said that this can never be possible except on a basis of episcopacy, to which the English Church is deeply. attached, and which it will never give up. None of us would ask that it be given up, but we cannot but hope it will cease to be held in connection with the theory of Apostolical Succession which remains the insurmountable ob stacle to full and frank mutual recognition among English-speak- ing Christians who
not Roman Catholics. The bishopric as an expedient office seed not stand in the way of reunion, but the bishopric regarded as a Divinely commanded order necessary to the existence of the Church and the validity of its ministrations and sacraments is another matter. We who do not] hold this high doctrine of episcopacy claim of course neither right nor wish to impose our view upon others. But the cause of reunion will not be served by slurring over the fact that the doctrine in question, along with its resulting implica tions, marks a divergence of a totally different kind from any which separates the evangelical Church amongst themselves. The average layman' in the English Church may know and care very little about the doctrine. Many of the Clergy, including bishops, repudiate it. Still to a certain extent it holds the field, its influence direct or
