SYDNEY, April 21
At the half-yearly meeting of the Congregational Union reference was made to the proposed union of churches. Dr. Bevan thought they should take •straight-out courses, and either say they were going into the subject or drop it. The president.said the Union Committee bad decided not to meet until they received a report from the Lambeth Conference. Dr Bevan replied, ‘The Conference has met, and we don’t know where we are. Meanwhile the same sort of negotiations are going on between Anglicans and Presbyterians. The Anglicans’ demand for an historic episcopate is unhistorical, un-Christian, illogical, and perfectly impossible, merely an ecclesiastical dodge to secure supremacy.” It was agreed that the committee should submit a motion at the October meeting.
