Fraternising!
“A pleasant event took place some time ago, when the young people of the Free Church invited their own Moderator-designate and the Moderator-designate of the Church of Scotland to meet and to speak from the same platform. By a coincidence, both these dignitaries are named Alexander Macdonald, and they are both Gaelic speakers. The meeting was, by all accounts, friendly and enjoyable. A similar lowering of denominational barriers was evident at the Croall Lectures, lately delivered in New College, Edinburgh, by Principal Mackay of Princeton, once missionary of the Free Church in Lima, Peru. Quite a number of Free Church people, including ministers and professors, were in attendance, and the audiences were drawn from many denominations. Such fraternising is all to the good. It would create an excellent spirit, while endangering no principle, if we could all give it some kind of ecclesiastical expression.”
