Mott, in his opening address, said that as a result of the meeting there should be such a blending of the older churches of the west with the younger churches in the east in mutual work as had never previously been achieved. Lord Plumer headed a distinguished gathering at Sunday’s missionary service on the Mount of Olives. The Bishop of Salisbury in the course of his address said that the gathering formed the most powerful stimulus to the world for church union.—A. and N.Z.
