CHRISTIAN REUNION.
(To ME EDITOR Or THE " SPECTATOR."1 Sea,—By all means let those, who can, work for a union on the lines suggested by the Rev. Robert Bewick. But with the echoes of the Kikuyu controversy in our ears I feel that it is not very near. Meanwhile what we seem most to need is a new temper amongst Christian Churches and Christian ministers of all denominations, and in a way the war seems to be helping in that direction. Why should we not begin to recognize the reality ol the Orders of those who are not episcopally ordained even though we could wish that such episcopal Orders were the rule in all the Churches P Why not begin frankly to acknowledge the debt o: our common national Christianity to those, who though not of us. are with us in the common task of preaching the mind and spirit of the risen Lord? We can at any rate try to understand one another better by frequent meetings on common ground. Surely there should be no town in which from time to time the clergy and ministers are not called together as brethren in Christ for conference on the problems that will confront us all at the end of the war I I am thankful to say that our Dean has set a good and so he was held in vain discourse, losing all his vantage. Then fruit. We are meeting on the Day of Intercession in the Cathedral for a common act of penitence, prayer, and praise.—I am, Sir, he.,
