Nov. 15. when representa- tives 01 lwee' v_f..,;; denominations having uh agsr:•gato membership of 38,000,00;► persons will assemble in New York fur the purpose of confer - 'Wring on the advisability and feaei- hilfty of forming a federation of all the Protestant ehurches in Anterieu. The plan of drawing all Protestant churches together in this manner was pe•lhnps suggested by the example of the Presbyterians, who se -•'n now in a fair way to get together as a fed- eral body. The union of the various and some- times warring sects of Protestantism into one great, homogeneous church has beet; dreamed of and advocated more or leas ever since the reforma- tion. Many Protestants have always concedeli that it would bo a gond thing. but no denomination has shown n disposition to make such concessions in regard to organiza- tion. creed, and teaching as it would be necessary for all to rnako before it would he possible for such a union to take place. They have professed a willingness to unite, but each has tactly or avowedly trade union con- ditional open such terms as no other Would accept. Considerable of the old spirit still exists and complete fusion would be as i►npracticablo now as it was in the past. agog Federation is practicable because it makes possible union without fusion. Protestants agree concern- ing most points. 'there are no dif- ferences between them regarding the fundamentals of morality. They all wish to disseminate the truths of Christianity as widely as possible and there are no considerable vari- ances between thein concerning the . best ways of doing this work. Feder- ation would enable them to inculcate the doctrines which they all accept, to accomplish the objects they all. aim at, :h more effectively with a given stun of money and a given • expenditure of effort than they aro able to now. and that without. sac- 1 rificing any of their denominational peculiarities of creed or organiza- tion. The federation would carry on the work in regard to which all were agreed. Each church would be au- tonomous in respect to :natters as to which there was not complete agreement. It would seem there could hardly be any doubt nmong Protestants Sed the friends of Pro- testantism as, to the desirability of organization along these lines. c It is an interesting question whe- ther the proposed federation. it ef- fected, would not prove the firststep toward a complete union. That it would bring about a better under- s'finding between the various diureti- cs mint cause then) to look with more tolerant ey, 8 upon each other's pe- culiarities of dogma and worship and with less exclusive favor on their own seems probable.

It is the cry of fear; but a fear inspired by wis- dom and high character. All men ought to bo very fearful of losing the divine favor of being de- prived of the grace of the holy Spirit, and if seine fail to find in themselves that peculiar fear it seems that the reason is in a general lack of information and understand- ing in regard to the work and power of that IIoly Spirit.
