LAUSANNE CONFERENCE
DELEGATES MORE HOPEFUL. QUAKERS AND SACRAMENTS. (Received August 21, 6.15 p.m.) A. and N.Z LAUSANNE, Aug. 20. A more hopeful feeling prevailed today than was felt yesterday by the delegates to the World Conference on Faith and Order. The report on the Gospel was received and adopted. A statement on the Sacraments was read on behalf of the Quakers, which announced that they would refrain from voting on those, parts of the report which bore on that subject-. The Bishop of Bombay, Dr. E. J. Palmer, earned general applause by declaring that while private views would be respected, they were going to continue to work, putting aside every form of sectional opinion, toward a better comprehension of ■ God's universal Church.
