Catholics and Protestants Unite for Sunday

THAT Sunday conference in London, to which we referred two weeks ago, was held according to appointment. No opportunity was given to Christian observers of the seventh day of the week to express their views, but the vote on the resolutions adopted was not unanimous. In its comments on the conference, the Present Truth (London) says:—

The most striking feature about the gathering was the fact that it united Catholics and Protestants. This is a circumstance of sinister import. Only a few days before, the official head of Roman Catholicism had declined to join in prayer for a reunion of Christianity, declaring that in this matter Roman Catholics must take their traditional course. What does it mean, then, when Roman Catholicism is officially represented at a union meeting on behalf of Sunday observance? Clearly, it means that Rome sees in such a union meeting a promise of reunion along her own lines, in which her claims will be recognized.
