...offense, the document would be framed in terms cautious, trite, and without value. That neither was the case was due to the prestige and adroitness of its two sponsors, Dr. Robert Elliott Speer, secretary of the U. S. Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, and the Rt. Rev. William Temple, Anglican Bishop of Manchester. Dr. Speer, since his graduation from Princeton in 1889, has attended many a missionary conference.

Lord Halifax, long President...
Recently Pope Pius refused Lord Halifax a private audience. His present encyclical, while it does not end the indubitable Anglican tendency toward Church Unity, leaves no hope that it can be reached through the means hitherto most emphasized...
