My DEAR Disror : I read your communication of last Sucday with mingled pleasure and pain, with pleasure that so ominent & Bishop and ser- vapt of God finds g0 fsw obstacles in the way of unjon between the Methodins and Episcopa- liaus; with pain that e so indsfinitely postpones this desired consummation, which many devout- 1y pray for. The Geperal Convention of ths Episcopal Churca bas ordered that at 2!t her Couventions & petition sball be offered, wi: tae united snf- frages of the whole body of tko faithfgl, that they may be saved “from all error, ignorance, pride, and orejudice,” and to so * direct, sancti- 7, and govern, . . by the mighty power of the Holy Ghost, that the cowmfortabls Gosapsl of Christ msy be traly preached, traly received, and troly followed in all places . . . till at leosth the whole of thy dispersod sboop, Loing gatbor- ed into one fold," ete. Inour moraing and eveu- ing prayer we continnally ask God's epirit ** that all who profess and call themseives Ghmhm:s may hold the faith in unity of spirit™ In onr litany wo pray for ** all Christian rulers,” which, by many in the Church, would inctude yourse!f and all governors of Christizns; wo pray for “anity” *to all nations.” In ths preyer for the whole state of Christ’s Church militant we ‘bescoch Almigbty God ** to inspire continually the uaiversal Church with ths spirit of trath, unity, and concord,” and that * all who do confess Thy Holy Name may live in usity and gedly love.” In the invoeation in the communion wo besecch our Mercifal Father that all the partakars of the Holy Supper may be * made one body with Him." In the ordering of priests, the candidates prom- ise “to set forwards peace and love among all . Christian people.” The Bishops at their conse- cration make o promise to tho aamo offect. Ths Committes on Church Unity sprointad by. the Gereral Convention of the entire Episcopal Church in tho United States, and influeaced by the foregoing prayers and language and tke epirit of the Liturgy, reported io 1856 that “'the first step towards this hagpy and greatly- desired result (Clristian union) must bo songht in unity of epirit rather than unity of doctrine and discipline; acd, therefors, matusl allow- ances and n large toieration are indispensable requisites. for which we should fervently and devoutly prey. We casmot but earnestly and affectionately recommend to our brethren and friends everywhere, in view of the momsentous iaterests involved in‘the final disposition of this question, to strive to keop the unity of the spinit in_the bond of peace by doing justice to the merits of other systems; by repressing.a spirit of self-complacency and eslf-landation ; 3 by a more cordial mannor towards ministers of oiber religious bodies ; by fruitfuiness in alt " 2ood wworss ; our ministera mors [fsrvid, sall~ aeusmg, and laborious ; onr psopla more char- 1tably, _exemplary, aud devout.” The fourth resolution procizims *the desirableness of union amoogs: all Christians " aud gives the ** pledge of milingness ™ for such union on the pm. of the Episcopnl Church. At the next Geueral Convention the report increasing seuse‘of the ovils involved % {rom thy present divisions ; & growing d searcoing of heurt Bot oaly for more of tho unily of tie Splrit, butalso for more of the unisy of tho Spicit in “the bond of peace,” which nothirg but a close harmony and commurion o vide Ble Chrch institations can create, - In 1868 the Rev. Dr. 3iead olfered in tha Gen- eral Conventon the following, which was adopted: \WaERras, The restorstion of the unity of the 'h is ai object of vast impoctance; as, Withoat ed unity 1t will be mpml'.‘o for lm ‘perfectly alfill ber miesion in the world; and, whereas, in tie cpinion of maay, the signs of the times clearly in- dicato that there 6 a strong and iz g desira among the Churches and in the various denomina- tious of Christiens in Christendom to soe such uaity restored. Following this presmble was a resolution creating the Commission on Unity, which now exists. Sinco 1868 the Old Catholic movement hasg bsen growing in interest and vigor, and its lead~ ers wisely sse that they can effect but little against the errors of Rome and an infidel nge acd wodd without a united Christianity. Thll has given 3o imnetus to bring into closer intor- communication she Old Catholic, the Greek, and Anglican, znd Anglo-American Epmco al Churches. A: the last Conferenco the only bar- rior has been viztaaily removed, and only pro- forme work really roiains to secure this great reqult. Dr. bch\k‘. ihe Fresident of the Lvan- elical Alliance, who was at the Bono Con- rence, and who is not an Episcopalio, says that be knows from Dr. Dol.mgeu own moatis thet after removing the obstacies of in- tercommunion with tho ancioat churches of the East, bo intends to negotiate with Prot- eszant divines, and he knows, too, that soveral leaders of the Old Catholic movement ate more inchined to an alliance with Evangelical Charchies than with the Greek. Dr. Schaff maintains that the tendency of Old Catholicism is evidently in’ the Protest:nt direction. The Doctor, at the head of the Evaogelical Alliance, da- clares that the iden of Christian union is the great idea of the ninetcenth century. . and he eces nothing to obstruct, eventnally, the construction of & nm!délalonn of brotherhcod on which Onentals, Old nholzc-,}: iscopalians, Presbyterians, and Methodis stand togetber aod makea common sghz agaiost in- fidelity and Antichrist.
