THE "'MOVEMENT -IN AUSTRALIA. [Press Association— Copyright 1 »■'-• Melbourne, April 21.. At the half-yearly meeting of the Congregational Union, /eferenca was made to the proposed union of churches Dr. Bevan said he thought they slould take a. straight-out course and say whether they were going into the subject or drop it. . The President said that the Union s Committee had decided not to meet till they received the reports of the Lambeth Conference. Dr: Bevan replied that the "Conference has met, and we don't know where we are." He added that meanwhile some sort of negotiations were going on between the Anglicans and the Presbyterians.- The Anglican demand for an historic episcopate was unhistorical, unchristian and illogical, and it was perfectly impossible — merely an eclesiastical dodge to secure supi emacy. ■ . It was agreed that the Committee should submit a motion at the October meeting. -.-■_,
