Excerpt from The History and Teachings of the Early Church as a Basis for the Re-Union of Christendom: Lectures Delivered in 1888, Under the Auspices of the Church Club, in Christ Church, N. Y TH lectures published in this volume were de live in Christ Church, in this city, during the spring of 1888, under the auspices of the Church Club, an association of laymen of this diocese who have banded themselves together with this Object, among others, of promoting the spread of sound Church doctrine and building up a robust church manship among the people. This course Of lectures was the first effort of the Church Club in this direction. The subject chosen, that which gives the general title to the whole course, namely, T/ze History and Teachings of tag Early Cam'eia as a Basis for tile Reunion of Christendom, is eminently suggestive, in view of the recent utterances of our American House of Bishops, and of the Bishops assembled at the Lambeth Conference, on the subject Of reunion and unity, and the erroneous constructions that some have put upon their words.
