ELIOT, CHARLES WILLIAM. Road to unity among the Christian churches. *$1 (8½c) Am. Unitar. 280
20–2426
This little volume contains the first lecture delivered under the Arthur Emmons Pearson foundation, established in 1918 with the object of promoting “the advancement of mutual understanding and helpfulness between the people of all denominations and creeds.” Dr Eliot points out the factors that have promoted division in the past and then enumerates the present forces that are encouraging unification. He says, “To the United States the world is indebted for the demonstration that on the principle of federation a strong, stable, and just government can be constructed.... The same principle applied to the divided Christian churches will produce analogous good results; but as in a group of federated states federation will not be fusion.”
