It sat at Lambeth Palace under the Presidency of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and its proceedings were conducted in private; and now the results of its deliberations are given to the world in the form of an Encyclical letter, signed by the Primate of All England, and a series of seventy-eight resolutions. They have, of course, left unsettled many questions which certain sections of the Charch hoped would be settled in their favour, Dealing in his Encyclical with the question (still violently agitating the Church in son remarks that "it must be remembered that the Conference is gathered from Churches differing not only in the conditions under which they have to deal with these questions but also in the formal canons by which their action is ruled.
