were taken upon the subjocr that tba grat mail would bo in favour of appro priating those reserves to religious instruc tion however noxious tbey might ba that they should oot all remain iu the possession of tho church of england with regard to tho pro visions of this bill now under consideration bo bad always heeo opposed to them and ho pod that the committee would negative tha preamble dr ralph hero ioterrupied the hon gon- tlomao the motion now before the com mittee was to rise and report progress but as the hon gentleman from toronto had advan ced bis resolution tbo chief reason for doing so was removed aod be would therefore with draw bis motion mr norton- sioce the boo gentleman from norfolk had withdrawn his motion he would oow move the adoption of tho preamble of tho bill he beliovod tbat tho hoo gentleman from torooto in introducing his resolutions had been actuated by honest motives aod a sincere belief tbat in so doing he was acting for the benefit of the country and ha hoped tbat that hon gentleman would concede tho samo purity in intent to those who took a dif ferent viow of the question ho mr nortou bad always bcon opposed to disposiog of the clergy reserves for religious purposes and for bis own part would much rather they re maioed in tbo church of england than that thoy should ba divided among tho different acts bo had over beco of opioioo that true religion needed not the support of human laws and believed that that was the opinion of a largo msjoriiy uf the peoplo of upper ca nada ho bad oot tho honour of beiog tho author of the bill which ho had introduced but had brought it furward from ao honest sense of duty it was a bill which had many times received thesaoetioo of the house and upoo which greater unaoimity prevailed throughout tho country than on any other ques tion they bad a perfect right to legislate upon thequestioo oud be had always been io favour of disposing of tho reserves fur tbo purpose of general education and in easa it wero so settled tbo ministers of tbo various denominations would bo much better support- ad hy contributions from their flocks than if paid by tho staio somehoo gentleman iiad remarked oo a former occasion that tboro wore expressions in tho bill which were insulting to tha church of eogland tbey had all ho be lieved been struck out aod if any bad been overlooked ho bad oo wish to retaio tham a similar bill appropriating clergy reserves to education had been passed in ono of the sister colonies aud bad received the royal asiont they had therefore a precedent to go upon mr n than moved tba adoption of tbo pre amble mr linrxrdl observed that although wo might legislate upon tho subject oo measure agreed to hy our legislature could become a law without the coosoot of tho imperial go vernment and ho thought that tbey could ne ver sanction auy arraogemeut that should ap propriate tho reserves to aoy other object tbao the support of a protestant clergy it was oot likely that eogland who had become groat by hor encouragement of morality aod religioa shonld consent to it wero ha to voto for tho resolutions offered by ttfo boo geutla- man from torooto it would he a yielding to necessity but he was fully dotermioed nevor to give his voto fur auy measure which would appropriate tbo clergy reserves to aoy other than religious purposes mr ti the bill now before the house went to deprive tho clorgy of thoso funds which had been set apart for their sup port he believed that tho bon geoilemau mr norton io introducing tbo bill had boon kujatvulyuroojulwvtaiiuliflthro41rovu tbat it would most tend to the advaotago f the country tbat the clergy reserves should bo applied to the purpose of education ho mr prince however differed from that bon member because ho conceived that they cuuld not conscientiously pass a bill to divert ihoso lauds from the purpose for which they wore originally inteoded ha had been at one time of opiuioo that a part of ihem might with propriety be applied for geoeral educa tion ho had howover sioce referred to the constitutional act aod had deliberately come to the cooclusinn that ihey might just as well apply them to lighting the city of toronto with gas or to constructing rail roads throughout the country as to apply them to iha purposes of education and iu forming that opioioo he had adopted the most liberal coo- struction of its provisions which could bo giveu to ao act of such importance by the con stitution certain lands were allowed to ha set apart fur tba clargf which wnasfiorwcirdi ac cordingly done there is a aeotiuo in tbat act that at first sight might appear to giva us the power to repeal that part of it but to come to a conclusion it was necessary to look to tho geueral spirit and meaning of tho whole act from which it is apparent that the solo object of this appropriation was to grant support to a clergy io upper canada aod they wore not justified in applying thoso laods to aoy other purposes there was notbiog ia tho act which gave them the power tosoll those lands and if tbey were to sell them they would ba bound to apply tha proceeds to tho support of religion upon which denominations of chris tians ba was oot prepared to say hut he thought tbat tho clergy reserves should uot bo appropriated to the support of otao church ooly mr parke said that the question had heon loog before tho public and ho believed tbat now tho english government was willing to alter tha disposition of tho clergy reserves so as to meet tho views of the peoplo of upper caoada as for tho imperial parliament giv ing for tho support of ooe particular church at a timo when canada had scarcely a nama an amount of property equal to all tho public pro perty io the country it was a most absurd ibiog there were maoy laid great stress up- on an act of parliameut which gave thorn tha power to hold thoso resertes but ho would have oo more respect for thorn ifutft bo would bavo fur a band of robbers or the rccoivcrs of stolon goods if the imperial parliament i could give nivay oooseveoth of tho laud for tho support of one church what was to pre vent its giving ail hie property iu the country any roan who had respect for an act of par liament of tbat kind koow nothing of consti tutional priuciples it was to allow a gang of swiodlers to pluoder this country of its just righiit was merely a bundle of rules fram ed by a number of interested persons in atrve panicolar purposes a to giving public mo ney fur tho support of religion bo believed that religion had never prospered in connec tion with any government aod covaromeois were oover rot actuated hy pure motives in joining any religion to the state with imsfl views ho was decidedly opposed io having re ligion corrupted by jiiniog it with the slate whenever religiou had beeo connected with government tho government had corrupted religion and religion had corrupted tho gov tioo of ihe priesthood by the government it was a moat unholy ooioo was it not often the case tbat tho king of england ihe baad of tha church oo matter who or what h was would not be admitted hy asiy latlglous commuoity great ooofusion and loud criea of order order tae hon the spcmhr was called to tba chair when after a good deal of debate on tba point of order ho decided that if tha expres sion made u of by mr parka were inteoded to apply to his present majesty it was oot ia order mr parke denied aoy allusion to hla present majesty tha committee haviog re turned mr parke contioued snob appropriations were wrong and produced bad edicts hqth upon religion and upon tbo government and history would show tbat io every instance where they had beeo joinad together they bad beeo corrupted aod ha believed that do gov ernment could loog remain id upper canada connected with a church if tha clorgy he aarves were given to ooe denomination il would ba absurd aod unjust on every ground f and if they wore divided among three or foer denominations woold tba people be satisfied with such ao arrangement were there any four danomioatious of christians which would embrace one half of the people of upper oan- adaf no not one tenth and would the other nine tenths be satisfied t if those hon gen tlemen who contemplated such s measure thought that it would restore peace to tba country he would tell tbem tbat it would be throwing a firebrand among tbe community and tbey might bid farewoll to peace in upper caoada wbao tbey divided tbe clergy re serves among any four denominations it would tear thoso churches co tbe very ceotre who received them for they bad all within them men who would nevor ba satisfied with aoy such thing among tbe melhodisis il would immediately produce dissensions and their ministers could live io oo way except in tho auctions of their flock aod tbat body would ho toro to its centre when tbalr minis ters took any part of those reserves had they tho ijt mv uv whac ehumjias thaaa reserves should be given who bad eonstu tuted them the judgos to say whether they wero tho right aod true church tbat they should give it to aoy sect io particular and might they not after all turn out to be tha wrong churches but admitting that they bad tho right so to dispose of them ihey were pro ceeding upon wrong grounds for tbe peace of the country could never be established by do iog so the people were lookiog aniiously for the settlement of this questioo aod if they settled it in any manoer for religious purposes the peoplo would oot be satisfied with it their opinions were too firmly filed to admit of be iog rooted out they could see with ao ea glo eya the effect of joioiog chureh and state and io such ao event every independeut man would withdraw from those churches and leave tbem to their corruption if they were applied to education it would be beneficial and satisfactory to tha whole country tha benefit would bo neither partial oor owlwirt bill would fall tiic the dews of heaveo upon all aod he believed that such ao arrangement woold not bo dissatisfactory to members of ibo chureh of eogland upoo the grounds eveo of benefitting the clergy themselves and io every light io which tho subject could be
