CHURCH UNITY.
PULL MEASURE UNATTAINABLE ANGLICAN EPISCOPACY HURDLE (Received 10.15 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. The newspapers publish the full text of the appeal issued iby the last Lambeth Conference to all Christians in favour of unity.. Some leaders of the Presbyterian and Methodist Churches, whfile welcoming the approaches to union by the Anglicans, express , disappointment that the overtures are t&o little, if anything, beyond those lof the previous Lambeth Conference. They dec-lane that Anglican insistence upon Episcopacy control bars and must bar the way. A leading Methodist declared: "They have put up the hurdle of Epfecopacy, at which we baulk and shall always baulk." Presbyterian leaders hold that acceptance of ,the episcopacy as am impossible condition for the non-An-glican churches. Nothing 'but frank complete recognition of thelir orders will content the Presbyterians. —A. and N.Z.
