IRISHBISHOPANDREUNION.

AnObligationofChristians.

MustRevDr.MacRory,Bishopof DownandConnor,interviewedbya "BelfastTelegraph"representativeon thequestionoftheconversationsregardingChristianReunion,saidthat thepresentdivisionswereadisgraceto Christianity.Menhonestlyandatthe riskofmisunderstanding,seekingsome waytoendthem,oughttobeadmired andcominendedfortheirsincerityand courage. Reunion,hesaid,wasnotm?rei;de sirablebutobligatory,iftheWillof Christwaseveragaintobefulfilled. WhiletheyhadhundredsofChristian Churchesorsects,alldifferingindoctrineanddiscipline,andallprofessingtointerpretthemindofChrist,the NewTestamentmadeitcleartoall whowouldseethatChristHimself wishedallHisfollowerstoholdone faithandbelongtooneChurch.What elsecouldHemeansbygatheringa chosenbodyofdisciplesroundHim, teachingoneandallofthemthesame identicaldoctrine.andsendingthem forthtoteachthatsamedoctrinewith Hisauthoritytoallthenations? WhatelsecouldHemeanbysolemnly declaringthatHewouldbuilda Church-notmanyChurches-orby sayingthatthereshouldbeonefold orflock,andoneShepherd?

"DeanInge,inaletterreproducedin the'BelfastTelegraph,'"addedhis Lordship,"madetheastonishingstatement,thatChristchosetoappearasa religiousreformerwithinJudaism,implyingtherebythattheideaofatheocraticmonarchy,orevenapparentlyof auniversalChurch,wasforeigntothe Saviour'smind.Onemaygrantto theDeanthattheLord'spersonalmiss, sionwasonlytotheJews,andhence hetoldtheCanaanitewoman:'Iwas notsentbuttothesheepthatarelost ofthe.HouseofIsrael,'butlongbeforeHisdeathHedeclaredthatHe hadothersheep-thatwerenotofthe Jewishfold,andthatthemalsoHe mustbring;andbetweenHisResurrec- tionandAscensionliesolemnlycom- missionedtheApostlestogoandteach allthenations,remindingthemwith Hislastwords,onMountOlivet,that theyweretobewitnessesuntoHim, notonlyinJerusalemandinallJudea andSamaria,buteventotheuttermostpartoftheearth.Surelyitis evidentthatnoreformationwithin Judaismcouldanswertosuchaworld wideplan.

''WouldyourLordshipnotconsideritpossible."saidthenewspaperman, "thatthetrueChurchofChristin everyagemayconsistofdevoutsouls belongingtoalltheChurches.and hencethatChrist'sidealisbeingat- tainedwithoutanyreunionorany needforit?"

Ademocracymaybegovernedbya president,aking,adictator,aparliament,acommissionoranyotherkind ofruler.Thenameoftherulersignifiesnothingsofarastheexistenceof ademocracyisconcerned.Theamount ofpoliticalpowerwhichtherulerpos. sesees.he'iteversogreat,signifies notjtiml.Buttheallimportantquestionis:doestherulerobtainhispoliticalpowerfronttheconsentofthe governed?

WhentheJewishpeopledemanded ofSamuelthatakingbeappointedto ruleoverthem.Samuelreferredthe mattertoGod.whosaid(IKingsv, iii):"Hearkentothevoiceofthe peopleinallthattheysaytothee,For theehavenotrejectedthee:butme, thatI-eeiuldnot-signoverthem maketheinaking."AndsotheJewishpeoplegot:t,changeofgovernment.Thisisperhapsthefirstrecordedinstanceoftheestablishment ofaparticularformofgovernmentby thecallandconsentof.thegoverned.
