UNION OF CHURCHES
, THE HISTORIC EPISCOPATE. AN ECCLESIASTICAL DODGE. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. ;." MELBOURNE, April 21. (Received April 21, at 10.30 a.m.) At the half-yearly meeting of the Congregational Union reference was made to the proposed Union of Churches. Dr Bevan thought they should take a straight-out course, and either say that they were going into it or drop the subject. The president said that the Union Committee had decided not to meet till they received the reports of the Lambeth Conference. Dr Bevan replied that the Conference had met,'and "we don't know where we are." Meanwhile some sort of negotiations were going on between the Anglicans and Presbyterians. The Anglican demand for a historic episcopate was unhistorical, unchristian, illogical, and perfectly impossible. It ' was merely an ecclesiastical dodge to secure supremacy. It was agreed that the Committee should submit a motion at the October meeting.
