CHURCH UNITY.
EXCHANGE OF PULPITS, WELLINGTON, August 9. On the motion of the Rev. J. H. MaeKenzie, the Wellington Presbytery passed a resolution to-night recording warm appreciation of the fraternal sentiments of the Appeal by the Bishop of Lambeth at tho Conference for Unity in all Christian Churches, but pointed out that the refusal of the Anglican Church to acknowledge Presbyterian orders as valid and complete was the one fact preventing an immediate visible expression of such unity. The Presbytery further recorded great pleasure at the movement inaugurated in Nelson, where an exchange of pulpits ail round had demonstrated the essential unity of the sundered churches, and the Lambeth appeal had been translated from words into deeds. The Rev. Dr Gibb offered the pulpit of St. John’s Church to Bishop Sprott, and the exchange of pulpits with any member of tho Church of England.
