The matter was a business arrangement, pure and sim Three churches that have been doing tian work for the better part of a hundre years in Canada, decide that they can do more effective work by uniting. The heads of these churches took the matter up and formulated a =| "*basis of union" which in turn are submitted to the membership of the churches concerned for ap-* Such approval was given by a large 'majority. A minority of one church does not agree to the proposals made. In all material matters the interest of this minority are amply protected. In fact the protection is of such an unusually generous nature as to cause comment among the majority. A Having reached this stage in the proceedings, in which the majority in the churches concerned approved of-the union, it became necessary to se- cure the ratification of the agreement and the granting of a new charter by parliament. That was the legal business of parliaments. If a company wishes to change its business, in- crease its capital, or in any legitimate way re- organize, Parliament ts these rights so long as iliey are along legitimate business lines. ut when the leaders of the three Protestant churches, whose work has been foundational in the social and moral betterment in Canada, asked the privilege so readily granted to a business company, these men were submitted to the in- dignity of cross-questioning with more than a proval.

The benefit to be derived from building homes lor birds are numerous. In building a bird house, "a boy must think, plan, and use his hands, and this is excellent training, and satisfies his desire to make something. If every school had some + form of manual training the pupils would take "more interest in their scheol work and would make greater progress in their studies. Every child should be taught that birds are | valuable, not only because of their beauty and their songs, but also of an economic standpoint in protecting the crops from destructive insects. If a child makes a home for: birds he will not rob their nests or kill their young ones, but will seek to protect them in every way, and will learn in this way, to be kind to God's creatures. What Have Parliaments to Do with Church Union? hint of doubt as to the sincerity of the promotors of the union movement. The churches concerned are not changing their work, nor are they diverting the capital invested to other than Christian work. Neither the Provincial or Dominion Houses are fitted to pass judgment on theological matters. Their business is to see that Union is legally car- ried out; just as it is the business of a lawyer to * see that a deed is properly drawn when property Sis sold. The morals of the parties buying and gelling are not the lawyer's concern. It would be eminently proper for Parliament to see that the material interests of the minority are protected; but in theological matters our legislators have no domain. Our fathers fought that battle for re- ligious freedom for us and it will be a serious and retrograde step if we have to fight for religious freedom again. If any minority feel that as a minority they have a special mission to perform, that minority would be untrue to itself if it did not seek to do that work. But they have no right to restrict the freedom of the majority. The injustice that is being done is in the hampering of the work of the majority. Parliaments are representative of the people and should carry out the wishes of the people in so. far as thy are able. This principle is readily recognized in tariffs and business; but seems to have been overlooked in this matter of church union. . "The business of Parliament is to pass the Church Union Bill, and grant to the minority the right to incorporate and carry on. their work under new conditions. This incorporation should be carried through with as little friction as possible.
