' This spirit has been greatly in- tensified. Dr. Bonnell remarked, by the recent meeting of the Wlrli Council of Churches in Amster- dam. In the meetings of that. Council the delegates achieved r unity of spirit which was by (u: the most essential feature of the conference, Dr. Bonnell stated that ihe press seemed to have stressed the differences of opinion which punctuated the sessions of debav. rather than the underlying spirit c! complete Christian brot. liiress and good will which P~-' vaded the sessions.
