(Continued front page 314.) The six lectures upon Christian Unity, delivered in Oxford and London by the Bishop of Gloucester, contributed much to a clearer understanding of the principles underlying the South India scheme. Their publication in book form (Student Christian Movement : 4s.) will be specially wel- comed by those who are now studying the findings of the Lambeth Conference. Here the results of solid scholarship are given us in plain and untechnical language • and the vague, inaccurate and unhistorical thinking which often hides itself behind such terms as Church,' " Inter-Com- munion," and "Apostolic Succession" is mercilessly laid bare. Dr. Headlam first deals with the Creed, as the basis of Christian 'unity, and then discusses the special problems created by varying conceptions of the Church, the Sacraments and the Ministry. His aim is not merely critical, but con- structive, and Christians of all types will read with profit what he has to say about that single and unchanging faith which our conflicting interpretations too often conceal.
