An outline of a reunion scheme for the Church of England and the Evangelical Free Churches of England was presented by the Rev. R. Newton, Fiew: Cambridge, on behalf of a committee which had been considering the proposal. "We are still in the period of conversations about Church union in this country, and the period of negotiations is not yet," he said. The committee felt that it was undesirable at this stage to enter into a detailed criticism of the

scheme.
