ontario government proposes to place the religious education ox the children in the hands of the teachers of the province the plan has not yet been made public in detail and the textbook has not been published but we are told that the course is expected to be in operation by next september let me first say that the christian church has never been faced with any thing uke tls before in canada we have had varying degrees and kinds of religious instruction given by the ml ulsters but never to my knowledge have we been faced with the prospect of a state dictated state administered and state supervised religion my opposition to this plan la by this time fairly well known in opposing it i feel that i speak for the whole chris tlan church and not only for my own denomination this is not a question on which we should expect to find thi several churches divided but rather one on which we should unite to pre serve the course of the gospel free from stale interference the scriptural reference upon which my stand is based are chiefly three 1 samuel 13 8 14 2 chronicles 26 1621 and hebrews 5 14 in the first text saul the king was told by samuel the priest that he had done foolishly to invade the realm of religion in the second uzzlah also a king was in formed by azartah the priest that it appeutaineth not unto thee uzzlah to burn incense unto the lord in the new testament passage all those who are not called of god are forbidden to take to themselves the function of the church the teaching of the srctptures is uniform throughout namely that to the king belongs all civil ad tdon the collection of taxes the pro tection of the people the punishment of evil doers the maintenance of law and order and the waging of wars but to the priest that is to the church belong the administration of the word of god of the sacraments ai matters pertaining to the spiritual life of the people lest anyone should think that this is my private understanding of the scriptures let me say that all four protestant chuches have declared themselves at this point in the thirty nine articles of the cl urch of cngland we read we give not to our princes that is governments the ministering either of god s word or of the sacra ments but that only prerogative that the should rule all estates and degrees committed to their charge by ood whether they be ecclesiastical temporal and restrain with the civil sword the stubborn and evil doera o lm the westminster confession of faith of the presbyteri church the civil mitfistrate that is the government may not assume to mm self the admh lstration of the word and sacrament r the power of the keys of the kingdom of heaven the statement of faith issued b the united church of canada has no chap ter on the state nevertheless it speaks of the church as follows we believe that the church is called to the proclamation of the everlasting oos tie thai for the ftutulmcnt other mission in the world god has given to the church the ministry the scrip tures and the sacraments the on tarlo government evidenuy plans to tako over not only the task of the church the proclamation of the everlasting oospel but also two the ministry and the scriptures of the three gifts which ood has mode to it the baptist churches in canada hare no written confession of faith it la well known however that one of the chief articles of the baptist faith is the complete separation of church and state the baptists do not permit any interference by the state in reli glous matters and do not claim for themselves any right to speak in civil matters f r in conclusion let me remind the reader that the church a stand on this matter does not proceed from any lack of confidence in the teachers and it is quite independent of the contents of such text book as may be used the opposlton of the church arises from the fundamei tal conviction that it is contrary to gods word for the state to invade the realm of religion zzmmr t h e a t re friday may 5th
