Federation or Confederacy Is In many
respects quite a different tiling from
the Church's oucnexs lllustratiil by our
LorU'rf parable of the vine, and the
A pontic's Illustration of the human
body. Nevertheless since a Federttloti
ts proposed nn the neerest piwslblc ap
proach to tho spiritual enjoined Union.
It Is proHr that wo and all Christians
everywhere should enquire carefully
the coif and the ira Implied In the
Federation movement. An the pro
gram shows, this nerles of meeting
will consider Impartially the cost of
Federation to the creedk of tho most
prominent denominations, First lu the
list today we consider the sacrifice
of Congrefmtlonnllsm, I'resbyterlnnlsni
and Methodism,
(I) As to church KoverninMlt 'Vcry
slight concessions will U require! of
any of the federating' (fpnomlmitlons,
Denominational liberties aa reflects
forms of worship nnd methods of gov
ernment and discipline nro to lie permit
ted very loose rein, The Federation pro
poses chloily the regulation of home
ami foreign mission work and a geuoral
watch-care over the Intercuts of the
federated systems along the lines of
political lulluence. The expectation Is
that the political power of the Federa
tion will have considerable to do with
moulding or legislation favorable to the
Federation, and later on. unfavorable
to the Hiualler denominations not asso
ciated in the Federation,
(') it .i along doctrinal linen thut the
Hitcrltlelng lu the Interest of Federation
will be chlelly demunded.
:. Doclrlntilly Congregatlonallsta and
rrcsbyterlaiiH are one: hetice we tuny
consider their aacrlllceH of doctrine In
the Interests of Federation as the
flame. They both accept the West
nilmitcr Confession of Faith with Its
Calvhilstlc fouiHlatlon-thut 5od, bo
fore tho foundation of the world, fore
ordained whiiltHievor conies to pusa
that he predestinated an oloet. snlntl;

all the doctrines of the "dark ages,"
relieving un of the horrible nightmare
which once beclouded our hearts and
