- J THE PEOPLE'S PAPER Canada to Lead By J. Lewis Milligan E JE SE 2 The task of preparing the Presby- terian Church for Union with the Methodist and Congregational Church, to form one United Chuch of Canada, | has been undertaken by Rev. R. J. Wilson, D.D., at the request of the resbyterian Ccurch Union Movement, "smmittee. In order to initiate this great and inspiring task, Dr. Wilson has been granted three months' leave of absence from his ministry in Chal- mers Church, Kingston. 5 Dr. Wilson is particularly well qua- lified for the work he has taken in hand. He is a 'man of forceful but genial personality, has rare executive; ability, the gift of oratory, is a ready end incisive writer and has had a wide experience as a minister and as a man among men. Before moving to Kingston in 1918, he served with striking success for fifteen years as rainister of St. Andrew's Church, Van- couver. He has thus a first-hand knowledge of the" Carel, East and, Wiest, Dr. Wilson cones nes 'in his person- lity the traditional Presbyterian with the native-born, forward-looking Can- adian. He 'has a warm regard for 3 the "auld Kirk" of his LTE when the question of Church | Union was first mooted he was one. and of the foremost in opposing it. Later, United Church of Canada, and he has. not been untrue to that vision. "There is a thrill in this thing--"* can't you feel it?" he said to me the} other day. "I take no second place byterian Church, and if 1 thought that by Union we were to lose any of those placed Presbyterians in the front rank of thought and action throughout the world, I would be with Dr. Scott and Mr MacBeth to-day. But I am too much of a Presbyterian to be bound by an idolatrous servitude to the out- ward forms of tradition, and I am too much of a Canadian to be blind to the demands of the present day and the vision of the great Taine which lies before this Dominion." "You seem to be quite sure that 'Church Union will be consummated," "I am as sure of that as I am that the sun will rise to-morrow morning," "the doctcor emphatically replied. "Can you imagine a progressive people like Canadians never changing the form of their ecclesiastical organizations from that which was made for an entirely 'however, he caught the vision of a to any man in my love for the Pres wi vital and vigorous qualities that have | Don't Forget E333 i Saturday, February 17th, commencing at 830 p.m. There will be prizes , given for the best ladies' and gent's 'costume-- Hired, Home-made 'Comic.

Such a static ceili would result in religious stagnation; and I am not so sure but this is what the churches are - suffering from to-day. Church Union will not usher in the millenium, and it will not finally abo- lish all the Jdifferences in form and creed among Christians; but, so far as Canada is concerned, it will be a stupendous move forward. We believe that the consummation of this Union | will give an inspiring lead to Christen- dom throughout the world. Church Union must come, and will come des- bps all these efforts that are being put forward to stop it. © Why ther, should we of this generation not share in its benefits?

R., said his tri ip was simply in : the nature of an ordinary inspection tour and that the company had no wndertakings in mind connected with it. The new pier work will proceed as soon as possible. As far as he could judze from hia trip through the prairies and from reports received, big crop this year, and the company was making 'its usual preparations to handle its share of the business expeditiously. Asked if the big harvest and re- adjustment of freight rates would mean that this company would carry larger quantities of grain here this £all, Mr. Hall replied that it was a matter over which the Canadian Pacific had no control. "It all rests with the owner of the grain," he said. "We are prepared to haul it either East or West, just as he directs." Rumor periodically revives the story that the Canadian Pacific is about to electrify its mountain lines in British Columbia. In regard te this Mr. former visits here, that the compan is still conducting experiments ith a view at some later date of for- a1 proposed electrification. The im- ression he gave was that if the plan s pronounced feasible by its experts ° pol the company ig ready, it will proceed with the work. In any event tiuis is liable to be a considerable time distant. The vice-president was panied through the British Columbia division by Mr. F. W. Peters, general superintendent. He was met on arrival here by leading officials of the company and several personal friends. : Assiniboia, Alberta. -- A further programme of improvement of lines of the Canadian Pacific in the west was announced by D. C. Coleman, vice-president in charge of Western lines, who is on his way west. The largest item on the list was the relaying with one hundred pound steel of the double track Saggy Ignace and Kenora. A considerable number of bridges will, be replaced with more permar nent structures. With respect 'to werk on new branch lines it was announced that be existing gap on the Weyburn- Lethbridge will be closed; the line from Russell north will be coms- pleted; the first fifty miles of the Lanigan northerly line will be fully equipped for traffic; and the grading will be continued on the branch lines from Consul east. In this connee- tion, Mr. Coleman said: "We had" hoped to-.announce a larger pre- gramme of branch line construction but until the effect of the freight rate reductions just ordered on the revenues of the railway companies can be accurately determined, it is obvious that an ambitious policy ig out of tha miractinw i] out of the question."
