THE CALL OF THE CHURCH. The "Presbyteriah is desirous that the church in Canada shall call 10. its pulpits the best men from Ehglana and Scotland. "It comments upon the fact that the necessary 'supply of able nien cannot be had in this country, but "every year all and sundry from the ends 'of the earth are pressed into that men are pushed on for ordination whose college training is of the meagrest kina;'and that "minis are received from other churches whose success has 'been indifferent ana whose coming brings little strength to the Presbyterian ministry." "The wise course," says "temporary. very thoughtfully, "would be to hand-pick the men we want and to call those 'whose coming will be a "to the churches they leave." The irequent changes of men from one de- service," ters our con- nomination to another lead to the inference that there is something {mi and that they have perhaps mistaken their mission.
