Excerpt from The Law of Congregational Usage These ten years since the Kansas Council have emphasized the wisdom Of the work there done. The missionary societies, as there reorganized, have gone from strength to strength. Our denominational unity has been emphasized without weakening our testimony in favor either of local autonomy or of church unity. The simple Creed which was adopted as a part Of the Preamble Of the Constitution of the National Council has been adopted by hundreds, perhaps thousands, Of churches. This new edition Of The Law of Congregational Usage finds little occasion for change in the text Of the volume as originally printed. The by-laws Of the National Council are brought down to date, and a new chapter 'is added on recent develop ments. The changes Of the past ten years have not been radical, and there appear to be no revolutionary changes in sight. There will be a gradual evolution, for ours is a living organism. This volume, revised to the middle of the year 1923, should serve the churches for a number Of years to come.
