From our Exchanges

We live in a time of strong controversy over all the greater issues of life. The most passionate tempest of all beats on the Bible. But this wondrous Book breasts all the raging billows of theological agitation. Churches rise and wane, sects have come sects have come and gone, schools of thought have been created and superseded, systems have been evolved and extinguished; and in the midst of all, this monument of inspiration and embodiment of revelation remains intact as when first the complete Canon was sent forth. It has been forcibly said that the Bible is the incarnation of the Holy Spirit. The world at last seems to realize that in it there is something invulnerable and imperishable. It is the Gibraltar of truth, on which storms of opposition can only beat themselves to death.—The Christian Commonwealth.

There comes a report from England that the five Methodist denominations there—the Primitive, New Connexion, United Free, Wesleyan, and Bible Christian—will perhaps, in another year, be united into one body. Action agreeable to this proposition has been taken by all the Conferences, and it is probable that an act of Parliament will allow the consummation. Such an amalgamation and unity will be something to be devoutly wished for, and will have its effect in this country, just as the bringing together of the several Methodisms in Canada has had. Unification and consolidation for the purpose of greater efficiency and the realization of a larger fraternity are in the air, and represent what we believe to be Divinely inspired movement.
