THIRD. The Church has a right to ask that a Union Seminary should make its students denominationally efficient. We rejoice that this Seminary is a most potent factor for Church unity. Students educated in the same class-rooms, trained to think that denominational differences rest on invalid interpretations of the New Testament, and, above all, permeated with supreme loyalty to the Christian purpose of which Dr. Hall has so eloquently spoken a purpose which transcends and renders insignificant a...ny sectarian interest, cannot go out to enter into the miserable rivalries which disgrace our Protestant Christianity. But for good or ill the Church of Christ is denominationally organized and is likely to remain so during our lifetime. And as long as this is the case our graduates will be tested by their ability to work the machinery of the particular sect in which they serve as Pres- byterians or Episcopalians, Congregationalists or Baptists and here again, we ask you to look at the catalogue and see the courses in the various sectarian polities and institutions and theologies for which the curriculum of the Seminary makes provision and not merely by their ability to work the denominational machinery, but by the spirit they show in bringing their individual churches into line with the denomina- tion's work, in their readiness to serve on its boards and committees and be conscientious ecclesiastics.
