Dr, Sparling, the New President. Montreal Star. % "For the time béing negotiations for union are at an end. Methodists be true to their own ideals, and wai for developments from the other side.' Thus the death-knell of uni the nonconformist churches was ------ ed by Rev. 8. D. Chown, general su: perintendent of the Methodist church, on Friday morning, at the Montreal district Methodist conterence at St. James church. "The great question of church union cannot but be a matter of very care ful consideration at this moment," he said, at the Outset. "It is-mot time for a bluster. The Presbyterian church has spoken--it appears to me to he a time to let the question set- tle, take stock again and to face the iwsue that must be before us as a Methodist church and our great re sponsibilities in this country as men of God." x A deputation of influential Presby- terians had met a special committe: of the general conference, and had asked for an extension of time, which was agreed to. Some time after they were approached with amendments to the basia of union, which did not seem of sufficient importance to hold up the gredt question of church union. He bad been! told that the opposition to union had big funds behind them, but he did not think the Presbyterian church would allow itself to be held up py any amount of money. "fy appears to me that we ought to gathet our forces together, we ought to return to the early idea and senti- ments of the Methodist church," de clared Dr. Chown, amid applause. *'i am not afraid of the future, yet ad vocating the union as I have, seeing the need of it in the west, and know ing human nature as I know it, I have the very grave fear that if union be not brought about there will be the inauguration of a competition keener than we have ever known in the do minion of Canada and | don't> know that sanctified human nature would approve of it. 1 have this feeling also, that ultimately union will come "But our plan now is to gather our selves together, be true to our own ideals, go forward as we have don during the last few years, only in a different way, go forward as far as we can. Keeping our hearts full of cour- age; waiting for developments on the other side, Fut realizing that for the time being negotiations have come t¢ an end." (Applause.) Dr. Sparling, referring to the ques tion of union, said they had come to the time when there should be a ver: cautious, but yet emphatic, word said He had been a unionist from the be ginning, for he believed it to be th right thing, but unless there was re spect on the part of each for the oth er, he did not want union. He was willing to give up many things for union, but not to. give up respect. It ilkbecame anyone to say a disparag mg - or disrespectful work about an other, "It is better to go on as 'we have been going," declared the new presi- dent, "than have union where there is no real union. Our business now is to make a business of spreading Meth odism."' Dr. Sparling expressed a desire for an opinion of the conlerence as to whether the four years' term should be continued or not, personally feeling that the term should be exte; rath- er than doing away with the time limit. He would like to see the mat ter threshed out at the general confer ence. LINKING UP WITH CABLES Gives Beter Telegraph and Tele. phone Ccmmunication Charlottetown, P.

A. of Toronto, which was left over from Monday evening, was well [received on Tuesday morning. Mr. Dayfoot gave a talk upon the twen- tieth century standards of excellence for Baptist Sunday schools. He (placed on exhibition a diploma which necessary for a Sunday school to either rank as a "star" school or a "banner school" or a "front line school". The latter of § [these is the highest rank which a Sunday school may attain, with the ' {banner pe star ranking next in or- der, ere are twelve requirements which the school ranking the highest or in the front Tine must maintain in might be placed on the diploma which it holds. The star school requires eight to have a blue seal and the banner school must have ten to ebtain a red The scheme which Mr. Day- {loot advanced met with much favor by the audience, and it is likely that the Baptist churches of Kingston will & {soon fall in line and adopt it.
