.Christ would he lost; no conviction could pos

than thin our Master intended such a unity as
should Le seen in order to convert the world
to belief in the divinity of bin mission.
“Neither pray I for these alone, hut for them
also which shall believe on me through their
woM; that they alone may be one; an thou
Father an in me. and I in thee, that they also
may be one In us: that the world may believe
that thou hoot sent me.' But It is equally
plain that Jesus meant no mere unity in ex
ternal rites or work• independentlyof that
internal and spiritual unity that precedes It in
order at •ouce of existence and Importance. -
The unity Fi not an outward shell, empty
.'thin. ft Is not a sham and pretence. It it
not a disguise or mockery, with the weak hope
thereby to 'impose upon n credulous world.
Indeed such *thing could not be. It is.there

sion of a Christi:mite Internal. spititual. vital.
It Is this honest outlook of a genuine Christi
anity that compels the world's reverence and
faith for Christ.

observance of Sabbaths and ordinances, and
their love for their fellow Christiana and
their fellow men by deeds of charity and be

manifest fealty to Christ, then it recognized
the proof that Christianity Is divine. It
cbmes with convincing power—" Whence
amidst all these causes of difference Is there
yet such unite ? llow could a ll t

this common likeness if there he o mighty,

Verily, this marrelons unity In men of dif

of the right f private judgment. To this
private Judgment Christ and lin Apostles
make their tipßeaL.... "Search the

men," say. Paul; "Judge ye what I say." The
Bereans were noble in searching the , Scrip
tures and exercising their Judgment on it to
see if what even an Inspired Aponte said
were so. But there Is no just room for pri
vate judgment If It matt yield to the decnee
of no organic unity without the anal resort of
separation. The theory I combat places things
in false relations. It exalts the church above
Christianity. - It makes the unity of an 0ut... -
ward organization of more Importance than
the Integrity of Christian saws. The reverse
of all this is correct. The church was desken.
ed to conserve Christianity: not to fetter and
dwarf It. The kernel Is better than the husk;
religion beihnter than the church: faith lathe
soul Is better than the letter of a creed • or
alethe forms of devotion. The. latter are
important for the purpose for which

The Church is precious and seared; but not

consciences. Hence thefree spirit of Curist-

and making to it their sole and final appeal,

Judgment. An organic unity would be dear

price of 'their existence.
3. My thin! direct argument against organic
unity le the argament from History.
The doctrine of organic 'unity Is not a nov
elty nor Om attempt to establish it an untried
experiment. The past unfolds to on its pages;
and we would be unwise Indeedf we did not
learn their ' lessons, Thalia H es s ons make
neither the theory or practice lovely. Let us
briefly advert to their teachings.
D'Aubigne. the grent modern historian of
the reformation, ally;:
"The doctrine of uthe Chinch' nod of nears-
I ally for itsrtstdeunite, which had found
I footing as early as the third century favored
the pretensions of Rome. .The great .bond •
which Originally bound together the members
of the Churah was a living faith in the heart
by which all were Joined to Christ as their
one fiend. Bat vairlons caused ere long eon
spired to originate and deVelop the lees of a
necessity for some exterior fellowship."
And en, as history proceeds to show. grew
lip the idea of a nits' of organization and eta
teal power,. Dissent - WU not to be tolerated.
Separation from the "Church Catholic even
tho' there never. bad been union with ct. was
!whim. And for echlentwere eventually provi
ded the cures of the dungeon. the gallon -Ai and
the stake. "The Living Church retired b' de
green to the lonely sanctuary of n few solitary
souls: nn exterior church was substituted In
the place of It: and Installed In all Its tonna as
of divine Institution." iD'Aubigne'e Ref. In
troduction.l And to establish. this units- and
be It professedly to convince' the world that.
the missionof, Christ was divine, Christ's
professed ministers transformed themselves
into very liendsof crueltragelnst find's saints.
1 That which claimed to be "Tire( Church," be- I
came the grnndi enemy of Christianity. The
heart aches to think of the ',tannin, cries to
God from hunted fugitives In the wilderness:
of the groans of victims broken on the wheel:
of Ikea worn not In weary dungeons; of souls
freed from the bond, of clay by the flames of
a fiery martyrdom, with horrors of torture
whirl, make the blood curdle at their. recital.
Though these fearful fruits of the doctrine of
unity are found thickest as we approach the
era of the Reformation, yet the principle be
gan to develop its tendencies In the church
early. Persecution powerless •to des
troy' or even to shake the flew com
munity compresaed It into the form of
. a more compacted unity. • • • •
The fond and vital principle parted ardlnder

It is obvious that . organic unity made

and to vindicate the organic unity, and than
to prove that Chi - Wilsony is heavemborn.
Nor is It the Church of Itotne only to whom
the theory of. Minnie ‘ 'brikutand Its corres
ponding metier. must be 'charged. Let the.
Baptists, Covenanters and Quakers tall their
bloody history and see If it Is a dogma that
commend, Itself to Our love by the fruits it has
borne, even when advocated and enforced by
Protestant Power , • S
But let us consider some object ions.
Against these arguments and In favorer or
ganic unity, It Is urged that the existence of
these separate .denominations In the church
Is disereditable.
Certainly there are caseswhich are
so. :insuredly every unnecessary dirisiott ls
reprehensible. • Dot in midi Instances, there
are separate denominations simply because
there are questions unsettled upon whlet,
agreement is absolutely needed In order to a
harmonious and successful co-operation. Dis
creditable ns separation may be in such Cape.;
there is one thing more discreditable. namely,
Inevitable strife. with Its bitter fruit, wlttun
the limits of the same profession and the same
organization. Anti hence oftlmes separation
is the very 1111.0os of greater harm ny and
efficiency.
- . ..
On the au position that these allusions are
discreditable. and wholly so, It tattered that
they. may be easily reeonciled by- fOrhearsnce
extending to all points of difference. _
That forbeance is needed even to maintain.
