ThePhilosophyoftheHistoryoftheChurch

(ByRev.HughO'Laverty.)

ThePaganRomanEmpirewasraisedup,inthedesignsofDivineProvidence,toprepareforthespreadofthe faiththroughoutEuropeandtheNear East,aswellasNorthernAfrica. Rome,thecentreoftheEmpire,becametheheadoftheChurch.Whether thepaganpoetVirgilrealisedthe truthofhiswordsornot,hispropheticutterancesregardingtheeverlastingkingdomofRomehaveproved tobecorrect.TheChurch,builton theruinsofImperialRome,isindeed, aneverlastingkingdom.TheChurch doesnotendwithtime.Shegoes intoeternityandbecomestheChurch triumphantinheaven.

But,inthisworld,theChurchhas tofight.manyandfiercebattles againstthelegionsofhell.OurLord promisedthattheChurchwouldnever bedefeated;butHeneverpromised thatshewouldbefreefrompersecution.Jesusneverpromisedworldly peacetoHisfollowers.

Inthataction,whichwastriedbeforeMr.JusticeAvoryandaspecial jury,Mr.GwynncomplainedthatMrs. Stopeshadlibelledhiminaletter writtenbyhertotheDukeofNbrthunmberland,thechairmanoftheboard ofcontrolofthe"MorningPost,"suggestingthatasmallhandfulofCatholicsweremanipulatingthepaper.

Mrs.Stopes,whoconductedherown case,saidthatthegrqundofherappealwasthatthejuryhadbeenmisdirrected.

"If,"saidMrs.Stopes,"Ilosemy casebecauseofunreasonableprejudice, anditbecameestablishedthatprejudiceagainstanygroupofpersons issufficienttoloseyourprivilegewhen writingaboutanothersetofpersons, thereisadangerousextensionofthe doctrineofprejudice.Itbecomesa dangerousmatterforanyonetowrite onanysubject."

LordJusticeScrutton:Thereare answersinyourcross-examination fromwhichthejurymightformthe opinionthatyouhadgottheRoman Catholicsonthebrain.

Mrs.Stopes:Icanconceivethat thatmightbethoughtbythosewho donotknowme.

LordJusticeScrutton:Thejury wouldformtheirownopinion.

PossibilityofaworldunionofChristianChurchesisremoteandbeyond considerationatpresent,theBoardof BishopsreportedtotheQuadrennial GeneralConferenceoftheMethodist episcopalChurchheldinKansasCity, U.S.A.,,recently.ThematterofChristianunitydrewearnestattentionfrom theBishops,whoalsoconsideredsuch controversialissuesasProhibition,divorce,companionatemarriage,drama. tics,theyoungergenerationandfundamentalism.Definiteopinionsand recommendationswerefrequentof suchissues,butinmattersstrictlydenominationalinterestcommitments. wereavoided.

Wilson,ofNewYork,andconcurred inbytheforty-three.otherBishops.

TakinguptheproposedunionofCatholicandProtestantChurches,the Bishopsreportedthedoorwasclosed because"therecentencyclicalofthe RomanPontiffrepeatsandelaborates thecontentionthattheunionofChristendomdemands,asanunconditional requirement,theacceptanceofPapal primacyandsubscriptiontoRoman Catholicdogma.

"Ifthereistobeunion,theVatican insiststhatitmusthebyareturnof allthewanderingflockstothehistoric fold."astipulationtheBishopsmade plainwasbeyondconsideration.

Furthermore,littlehopeofaProtestantunionwasseen,because"we findourselvesfacetofacewiththe overturesoftheAnglicanChurch,and weareembarrasfedbythefactthatin theLambethproposalthebasisof unityalwaysinvolvesacceptanceof thehistoricepiscopateasheldbythe ChurchofEngland.

Regrettingthatnoprogresslooking towardtheunificationoftheMethodistEpiscopalChurchandtheMethodistEpiscopalChurchSouthcouldbe reported,theboardobserved:"We wouldbeuntruetoourselvesifwedid notconfessouryearningforthereunionofEpiscopalMethodism,since 1844divided."Commissionerstorepresentthechurchinnegotiationsfor unificationweresuggestedtotheconference.DiscussingProhibitionthe Bishopsreported:"Weareinanhour ascriticalasanytowhichwehave evercome.Therehasbeenwidespread oppositiontothelaw.Somewho havebeenmostvigorousintheirzeal forthelawhaveshownthemselvesless tactfulthanardent,sothatthevery methodspursuedbythemhaveneedlesslyembitteredandintensifiedopposition.
