That the Results of the Voting Be Submitted To the General Assemb- Iy In June 1916, The question of union with the Methodist and Congregational churches was dealt with by the Pres- byterian Genera] Assembly at its Sat- urday morning session, when the Church Union Committee present- ed its report, and recommended that the Basis of Union be submitted to of the vote be reported to the As- sembly at its meeting in Jure, 1916, After rehearsing what had been previously done by the Assembly in the interests of Church Union, the report continued: Whereas, further, by the outbreak uf war, g new situation has been cre- ated, among the elemeénts of which are the following: (a) A changed judgment of val- ues, so that matters which formerly distracted and divided men are€now accounted trivial in the presence of the vast issues involved. (b) A weakening of class distine- tions, which. renders possible a de- gree of ynited action hitherto im- practicable; (ce) A new spirit of self-sacrifice which is impressively illustrated by our. soldiers and by our King, and which the Chureh, in the name of her crucified Lord is called upon to ex- hibit by the subordination of every other consideration to the supreme purpose of bringing men to recognize Jesus Christ as the Hope of the World, (d) An expected increase in the volume of immigration into Canada after the close of the war, demand- ing the greatest concentration of moral and religious forces, (e) The world's financial exhaus- tion, requiring the utmost possible economy of resources, in order that the inevitable and extraordinary de- mands of the immediate future may be met. Whereas, lastly, the Joint Com mittee has adopted the amendments to the, original Basis of Union em- bodies' in the documents submitted to this 'Assembly by its Union Com- mittee; Therefore, this Assembly hereby deeldyes its approval of the "Basis of Undon," now submitted as a Basis on which this Church may unite with and Congregational directs that the sald basis be transmitted to presbyteries for their judgment under the Bar. rer Act and that the appendix on 1aw 'bé 'also transmitted to presbyte- ries for their judgment, and that this resolution be sent therewith, Congregations to Vete. The Assembly also directs: 1, That the question of Union be submitted to Sessions and also to communicants and adherents of the Church in the following form: "Are you in favor of Union with the Meth- odist and Congregatonal Churches of Canada on the Basis of Union ap roved by the General Assembly of 9156?

The Minority Report. | The report of the minority of the { Union Committee urges that the As- | sembily in 1905 pledged .itself that | practical unanimity must be a con- dition of the union, that only 37 per cent. of the Presbyterian { membership was for organic union, lor 51,000. That there is opposition to sever- | ing the membership from the Pres- | byterian family, especially the mo- | ther churches in Britain. That the advantages claimed for the union of the Methodist, Pres- byterian and Congregational Chur- ches can be obtained by. co-opera- tion. The basis of union:is not required to be signed by ministers or office bearers. The settlement the commit- tee proposed would take away the historic right of the people to choose their minister. To send the question to Presby- teries under the Barrier Act as this stage. even if the Barrier Act were applicable, is unfair to Pr ef if the people are to be again con sulted, for the Presbyteries cannot know the result of that consulta- tion: --and it is unfair to the peo- ple, because, instead of leaving them free, it brings to bear upon them the influence of the Presby- teries. Such a proposal can only be regarded as an attempt to take away the liberties of 'the people and to place the final decision of the whole matter in the hands of the Church Courts, which cannot be too strongly condemned. The minority resolution is that the urch take no further steps to or ganmige union at present. It is sign- ed db) Frank Baird, W. G. Brown, 'Robert Campbell, W. L. Clay, T. C. James, A. T. Love, R.

In presenting the Church Union Committee's report on Saturday morning, Rev. W. J. Clark, Montreal, the convenor, asked that President Falconer, Toronto, who had to leave at none and could not return, be first heard. To this the Assembly agreed. President Falconer said that the Church Union situation must be re- garded in a new light, owing to the greatly changed conditions in the world during the past ten months. Yet we can say, as far as_we can gee that the cause of this great war has been Providential, for God has been leading us in a way we knew not, and we believe that He will bless us. Our people have learned the way of death and of sacrifice.
