Edmonton, June 10.--"We give Piaise to Thee for the great and blessed interest of this afternoon. We give thanks to Thee for all that our ears have heard. We thank Thee and praise Thee as we think of the years that are to come. We praise and thagk Thee as we think of all that it will mean fo the en- deavors of Thy people in other lands, foreign lands. We praise and bless Thee that in Thine infinite and di- vine mercy and compassion Thou hast brought these negotiations to 80 blessed and happy a conclusion." In these words, Rev. Dr. Giliay, of College street Presbyterian church, Toronto, to-day committed the great Presbyterian Church Candda to the cause of organization with the Methodist and Congrega- tional churches, with which negotia- tions have been carried on for eight years. ! The actual statement adopted by the assembly does not formally and legally bind the body to this course: but the denomination will never for- get the solemn ceremony of this af- ternoon and can never, even if it is desired to do so, escape its conse- qliences. In it the chief leaders of the union cause 'and. the chief op- ponents of the prop. ui, with the as- sumbled delegates, entered into cov- enant to test the plan by actual ex- periment and to follow faithfully wherever they mignt be led by the great head of the church. Every- thing was said and done, both be- fore and after the service, in praise and prayer, which concluded the dis- cussion of church union, was based on the idea that the denomination had terminated the controversy and had entered on a new life under new conditions and with new relations. The act of the Rev. Dr. Scott, of Montreal, editor of The Official Journal of the Church, who through the entire controversy has been the strongest opponent of union, in moving that telegrams advising them of the decision of thy assembly be forwarded at once to the other churches interested, gave the final touch to the proceedings. Nothing remained to be said or done. Scheme of Co-operation. The statement adopted was part as follows: (1) That it be an instruction to the home mission committee to ur- range with the other negotiating churches for the "further delfmina- tion of territory witiin which they shall severally establis new mis- sions, as well as for the fuller ap-~ Llication of the people of the sa operation already adopted by the as- to sembly. (2) That it be an instruction the foreign mission committee to confer with the mission boards of the other churches with a view to co- operation in every possible way. (3) That similar ihstructions be given to the board of social service and evangelism, (4) That it be an instruction to the committees charged with the publications of the church to enter into correspondence with stmilar committees of the other churches as to the possibility of combining their work in whole or in part. (5) That it be an instruction to the board of the colleges to consider the possibility of co-operation with the colleges or other churches situ- ated in the same localities so as to avoid unnecessary duplication in teaching. ' (6) That the union committee be authorized in conjunction with the other negotiating churches to pro- vidé for the oversight of union con- gregations not originally connected in | With any of the three churches. Dr. W. J. Clarke, minister of St. Andrew's church, Westmount, Mon- treal, presented the report of the committee. There were, he sald, three things which the members of ther Presbyterian. church were anx- ious about. In the first place they were anxious that there should be no rupture in the church. There had been a serious ¢ifference of op- inion on the question of union. The issue was one of great moment, and men differed honestly, It appeared that there might be an open rupture, and this they were most anxious to avoid. In the second place they Were anxious that the negotiating churches should not for a moment rest under the misapprehension that they were not dealing fairly with them, The effort was being honest- ly made to get the three churches together for a great redemptive work and it was essential that there should be at all times the most per- fect understanding between the bod- les. Everything had been open and . manifest, and there was no doubt of the position of the church with re- ference to the subject. In the third lace, they were anxious to formu- ate a plan which would serve to bridge the chasm between the old state and the new, between the past and the future. It was essential that sone arrangement should be effected which would meet this diffi- culty. To-day he was joyously hap- PY, exultingly happy. to be able to . Say that they had.a plan and a state- § ment which met all these require- | ments, and which was supported by the entire committee which had hal the matter under advisement. Ev- eryone knew, he said, that the mo- ment was a critical one, and that the action taken would be decisive. He was glad to be able to say that the ward. . Principal Mackay Joins.

With re ference to the need for union and the desirability of union, there has been of opinion.

' wl One thing was certain, nainely, that no one desired to go back to suspicion betwen the churches which existed before the present negotiations were begun. That a could never be resumed. The statemnt which had been submitted to the assembly was one that he wag perfectly ready to sign. rr The motion to receive the report was unanimously passed, and it was subsequently adopted as a whole. Dr. Clark proposed that there should be added to the union committee twenty men to confer with the eom- mittee in private meeting 'and to met the committee of the negotiat- ing churches when drafted for the services. The idea was that these men might Be available as substi- tutes when regular members of the committee were ill and absent, and this committee may be kept at full strength at every session when the theme may be discussed. The list includes among others, Dr. E. Scott of Montreal, Rev. E. J. Wilkie of Lindsay, and Rev. J. Stevens of To- ronto. : The services of praise and thanks- giving to God was then begun. The delegates joined in the singing of one of the psalms. STOCK MARKETS. F. B. McCurdy Co., Clarence Cham ers--H. W. Nelles, Manager Closing Prices, June 11th. New York.

Indianapolis News James Rourk, road manager of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton railroad, bought a big bunch of flowers for his wife at an Indian- apolis store. On the way home to Conrerville he bribed a dining car porter to lay the bunch on ice to keep them cool. When he arrived home he found buiness at the office that detained him for an hour and in the interval he sent a boy for an- other piece of "ice, on which he nlaced the flowers. Ox reaching home he presented the bunch to his wife. who remarked: "They're pretty, my dear, they're terribly cold." "Cold, sure they're cold," the husband replied. "I've had 'em on ice for two hours; I didn't want 'em to wilt." ¥They wouldn't have wilted, wire stems' said Mrs. Rourk. but for ------------ Calls for Vate on Strike.
