A UNITED CHURCH.

APPEAL TO CHRISTENDOM. THE LAMBETH CONFERENCE. By Callt. — Vrttt Association. — Copyright. (Rec. Aug. 13, 9.0) LONDON, Ail*. 12. The Lambeth Conference, which has been held in private throughout, has now issued a voluminous report of its proceedings. The report shows that eight resolutions were adopted, dealing with religious and social problems, the most important of which are embodied in an appeal to all Christian people. Dealing with the reunion of Christendom, the appeal, which was adopted practically unanimously, urges that Christianity should be manifested in a united* fellowship, and emphasises that the causes of division lie deep in the past, while the present calls for a new outlook and new measures. It demands a [reunited Catholic Church, and visualises a church in which the i divided heritage of the past will be possessed by the whole of the people in common. It suggests that the basis of a united church should be the acceptance of the Holy Scriptures, the Nicene Creed, the Baptism, Holy Communion and a commonly acknowledged ministry.
