Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religious Condition of Christendom, Vol. 2: Exhibited in a Series of Papers, Prepared at the Instance of the French Branch of the Evangelical Alliance, and Read at the Conference Held in Paris, 1855 It could not then have been anticipated that another assembly, similar in its character, would, after the lapse of so short a time, have been held in Paris. In con cluding the preface to the former volume, the suggestion was, indeed, thrown out that periodically to bring to gether Christians of all nations to survey the state of the whole Church on earth, and to take counsel together for the advancement of the great Christian commonwealth, was an object than which the Alliance could scarcely propose to itself a nobler; but, as in the former instance, so also in this, events occurring in the course of Divine Providence opened the way for the meeting, and presented facilities for holding it, in the absence of which, perhaps, it could not have taken place. Our French brethren, like ourselves, seized upon the occasion of the Paris Exposition of Arts and Industry, and turned it to this happy use. The assembly was convened by the French Branch of the Alliance only, but in the preparations necessary to it the French and English Committees acted in concert. The Council of the British Organization, while most pro perly conceding to their French brethren the direction and management, were consulted by them whenever necessity arose, and gladly rendered such assistance as lay in their power.
