BRISTIAN ---- {PO HAVE XkEDLESS RIVALRIES AND WASTE OF MEANS In Carrying on of Christian Wosk---- Reference in Pastoral Address at Methodists Conferences: Dealing With Question of Church Union. "The pastoral address, at the Mon- tresl Methodist conference session on Thursday, was read by Rev. J. Doug- las Richardson, M.A., of Perth. Rev. Mr. Richurdson was convenor of the pastoral committee, and Prof, Patton, of Montreal, was the other pember- The address as read is as follows : The ministers of the Montreal con- ference, of the Methodist church, in twenty-ninth anpual session, asssemb- led, to the churches of the conference, send greeting : The bond existing between us as pastors and people, is one which has brought to us its own great reward, in spiritual enrichment and satisfac- tion. We are most anxious that to you, #00, it should bring that fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ, which is the implied purpose of the Christian ministry. The character and ideal of the min- istry, are the most vital fastors in| the life, and work of the church. We are ever reminding ourselves that the minister must be pre-eminently a man of Christ-like spirit, that amid a multitude of eis and cargp he must be comeerned 'only about the spiritual issues of his werk--the kingdom of God and Ms. righteousness; that with all _this fascination of doctrines and theories the problem must ever he to make the actual world a Christian Lworld; that with the glamour of the crowd and the seeming efficiency of or- ganization, the great urgenvy is to reach individuals and bring them as such under the power of Christ. The gifts of the miwistwy are the imstru- ments of its efficiency. Devotion covnis in proportion as there is some quality other than itself in the minister which will make it count, If the Christian mister have the genius of Paul in meeting new situations and = "4he mighty executive force of will which he had in ditlieult places his devotion is cerimin to avail. If there be the Master's familiarity, with the scrip- tures of the common people and His vivid rapidity of spiritual insight and interpreiation, devotion will gave marvellous tools with which to effect results. Il trained and ordered think- ing, in the minister has seized 'iod's viewpoint of things and can make it plain, 'the good man may become "a masterbuilder of the kingdom. In the wear of the world and the noise of its much business modern men {are suffering for lack of silence. The | life with (od is not in our time an ensy life. Good men, and especially ministers, should have the cause of souls so much at heart that they would make great efforts to preserve in their lives this touch of the un- seen--the divine touch--and have habi tually 'the sense of a walk with God. Unoensing prayer is one of the great factors "of spirituality. It kitdies spiritual desire, 1t favours spiritual thought, it prepares the way for spiritml results. Pray because God hears; pray because always praying, you enter more and more into 'the spirit of the praying Christ, pray be cause there are Christians to be spiritualized dnd men to be brought to Christ and prayer leads inevitably thithérward, "To do good and to communicate forget not." The Scripture says there are sacrifices, that is, they eost a price which the officers must pay. And still, good works are the justly required proof that God rules in the lives of good people. In pro~ portion as works of helpfulness and mercy lose the quality of the m- dividul who does them, they lose in value and effect. To contribute is not.as good for either recipient er doer as to do. Would that we re- alized the spiritual diseipline of personally doing good and the heightened good that would come to many if we did our own good our- selves, "I will sent the Comforter," sald our blessed Lord. The busy church is an orphaned and Ineffec- tive church without Him. The work to be done is with Him after all. We say we know how to save the world, but the patent thing is 'We think a ritual change, or an outward me- thod, some new feature will bring success, and forget the sovereignity of the spirit. In our darkness, we should Iéel our complete mneeq of heaven. In our poverty, we should know tifat fullness and suileleney are with God, the Spirit. eth in His hands "gifts for men" even for the rebellious also. We must look up mbre than in or out; We must ask even more than work; we must wait on God, yea, wait "more than they that watch for the iborning' ' Evangelism is a standing or falling note of the Methodist church. There tions prod : . ns pre ucing at Special times and He hold- yy er lives as far as we can under the blessing of God: We are concerned about the de- cline of family religion. In our past there has been with us a noble tradition of family worship, recog- nition of God at family meals, and godly counsel on the part of par- énts. It was a beautiful and wor- thy exhipition "of religion, which strengthened and deepeéged the spir- it of Christiang and broMght many young persons into the ways of the ford. The only visible way in which to re-establish under suitable forms the 61d and useful institu- tions of house religion is for con- gcientious and eourageous Cliristian parents to take the nbcessary so- lution and as practically as possible proceed to do what seems to be wanted, In our country we are in the midst of a process of expansion so rapid and so vast as to constitute a challenge to all our available Christian forces. Now, if ever, per- sonal religion should be genuine and virile, The purity of each Chris- tian's motive and the strength and elevition of each Christian's charac- ter are matters of gredt public con- cern, if the power and influence of the Christian religion are to keen pace with the growth and prosperity of the nation, This is the accept- | nead for men of decided Christian church should lead and control positively and powerTully the prin- ciples and = ideals which determine the common weal ot the whole peopla. The ned for men of derided Christian faith and spirit in public places is critical and the memberg of Chris. t.an societies should. and surely will, feel an obligation to consider character and principle in the choice o' their civie and po'itical repre- sentativeg, ratber than .miere poll- cies gnd parties. It is an utterly fale doctrine that politics are es- sentially harmful to religion, but it is not more false or disloyal than the abnegation of Christian char- acter and principle in matters of public intesest. Let each of us see that in the affair of his own com- munity and in the affairs f the country at large his share and con- cern are those of a true servant of the Lord Jesus Christ and blessing will come to politics and Christians alike. The immigrant threatens to im- nosa upon the church in this coun- try one of the most stupendous re- gnonsibilities we have yet had to face. Tn our larger cities, the pon- ulation of. a good-sized city is brought in from abroad each year. It cannot be said that hitherto the process "of assimilating the foreign- or has héen largely directed toward the creation of a positive Christian character in those who come to us. Tt haa heen on the whole a hap- hazard process 'and one which has teft in our midst an element whose influence upon our social life can- not ha éalled morally wholesome (God has glveri to. this conference whose houndaries Jie open to the grest tider of immigration from the old vorl', a mission jo the stran- ger. He will be found where« the hosts of industry gather an? where the skill and toil of men are bulld- ing our railways and public works and upon him should rest the grace and redeming influenec of the gos- pel which we preach. In the year now closing, the voie upon the basis of union proposed for the bringing together of the Congregational, Presbyterian, and othodist churches, has been taken. Whatever may be the final outcome of the negotiations carried on it is at least safe to say that in face of the vote received in the three churches it will be deemed necessary to devise some means for a closer and more effective co-operation of these denominations. It is un- Christian to have needless rivalries and needless waste of means, and, above all, to have an unduly emu- lous or bitter spirit in Christian work, and it will be our privilege to see. that in every locality every- thing possible is done to secure a practical fellowship in. spirit and an effective partnership in good work for the advancement of our Lord's cause. The Eoumenical conference which convened last October in the city of Toronto was a great gathering of the forces of world-wide Methodism, whose results should be far-reaching. Meas- ures were there taken to ensure a more : Jontionsus and vital connection betw the different members of the great Methodist family in different parts of the globe. here people moving to and fro between the United States and Canada as they are and where many are coming to us each year from the Methodism of the ol land the religious and econo- uke advantages of any adequate scheme which would correlate the different parts of Methodisgg must be considerable.

From our Ca- badian homes relatively poor young] men are coming forth as candidates, | and we are obliged to draw. from a source which is fortunately till avail | able to us, namely, the devoted and able lay preachers of British Meth- odism. The more serious feature is not the lack of meén, but the lack of | the motive to offer for the ministry. | Everyone must be led to enquire why | men do not enter . this work. There! are different causes which may be sug- | gested. Two of these mav be here! mentioned: The ideal held by parents for their sons, and the reality of relig- ion in the church. It is perhaps safc to say: that if parents earnestly wish their boys to : become ministers of Christ, God will call them ih many instances into the ministry. It ie alsos obvious that where religion is very real in chuiches men for the ministry are not lacking, : Ever praying for your welfare, and, above all, for your increase in the blessings of godliness, we are your servants for Jesus' sake.
