LIFE OF THE CHURCH.
ANGLICAN BISHOP'S VIEWS. " SUICIDAL DISUNION " TRAGEDY. Bishop Moves, of Armidale, New South Wales, addressing the annual Methodist Synod of tho northern district at Armidale, recently, said that tho greatest tragedy of Church life to-day was not that Christendom was divided and rent asunder in suicidal disunion, but that a great company—possibly a majority—wero content that it should bo so. The last 50 years had seen wonderful progress towards union on tho part of tho Protestant communities, and tho strong Methodist communion of Australia and tho newly-united Church of Scotland boro witness to tho goodness of God in this direction. Tho Church of England looked for reunion and not merely for union. Tho Church, however, stood firmly for tho historic episcopate, and the discharging of those functions which, from earliest times, it had discharged.
