Will Try to Unite.

The conference of ministers of the Anglican, Presbyterian and Methodist churches, which was in sessional Toronto, Canada, on the 24th and 25th instant, to consider the question of organic unity of all Protestant bodies, has closed. The sessions were of the most interesting character, the representatives of the churches'declaring that they would result in great good to the whole Christian church. The utmost harmony prevailed, although doctrines were discussed upon which all were not in unison. The subjects before the conference were: “Organic Union,” “The Amount nf Unity in Doctrine,” “Worship and Modes of Action between the Three Bodies,” “The Holy Scriptures,” “The Creeds,” and “The Historic Episcopate.” A resolution was adopted recommending to the several churches the appointment of delegates to another conference to be held next year.
