THE SCOTTISH CHURCHES.
UNION NEGOTIATIONS,
[Pbess Association—Copyright.]
LONDON, Wednaj.
The General Assemblies of the Church of Scotland and United Free Church instructed the joint committee on union to continue its deliberations, and present a complete report to the next Assemblies. Great satisfaction was expressed that the Committee had conferred for a year without coming to an impasse.
The Rev. Norman Macleod and Lord Balfour of Burleigh were optimistic. Dr. George Robson, of the United Free Churcji Assembly, stated that the joint committee was agreed that it was not just that the law only recognised the Established Church. Its agreement up to this point was a hopeful sign. The chief difficulty would be to frame conditions of union in no way infringing the Free Church's spiritual independ-
ence.
