IABKDALE DIED IN TORONTO We do not quote these figures for the purpose of boasting in numbers: but to show what an overwhelming mass of the Christian people of Canada. under the inspiration of a great ideal. in obedience to what they believe to be a high call. and led on by a glorious vision, have- entered into an alliance to win our beloved land for Christ. and to take a worthy part in the evangelization of the world.

The men who created these ei‘idt’nvments and erect‘ ed these structures can erect other buildings, it' need be, as good or bet- ter. We. do not believe that in the readjustments growing out of union many new churches will require to be built; but this is not a matter of much consequence. Where they are needed, the means to provide them will not be lacking. Following the disruption of the Church of Scot- land in 1843, great numbers of churches and manses were built by those who went forth in reSponse to a high call to make sacritices and endure hardness for a' time; but the people rose to the ei‘nergeuey in a way that surprisml the world, and the cause of true religion re':ei\'ed an uplift which it, had not known for a century. And we believe the experience of the Church of those grand old days in the t'atherland will be repeated in many a seetimi of our Dominion today. In seme cases. it may mean the sacrifice of material things for great, principles and high ideals; but it is always safe to follow what is to us a clear call or duty, and if we are not diso- bedient tn the heavenly Vision, the way will be made clear. In the first place. we are, or, to be more definite, withina few weeks we shall he, in a great Church, a Church of more than two million adherents, a Church embodying the greatest traditions of our Protestant faith, a Church in which tens of thousands of the most earnest and devoted Christian men and women of Canada will be united in the ser- vice of Christ for our own land and for the world. We shall be linked up with the greatest religious move- ment since the Reformationâ€"a movement which should appeal to the imagination of all who covet the opportunity to lead the forces of Christianity along new paths of achievement and out into new and fruitful fields of endeavor; an Op- portunity to break away from nar- row sectarian boundaries to enter upon wider Christian affiliations to create an atmosphere more in acâ€" cord with the spirit of Him who prayed that all who were bound to Him in love and service might be one, as He and the Father are one. Without going into any detailed statement here as to how congrega- tions and minorities in difiering cir- cumstances will he alrected by the recent legislation passed in Ontario, we may call attention to some fea- tures of the present situation, and of the immediate outlook which are titted to inspire confidence and hope, even though the present efl‘ect of the Bill upon many individual congregations may be adverse.

On Wednesday of last week while at work on the, track with his men driving spikes. one of the spikes flew, striking him on the leg below the knee. The pain bothered him for two or three days and was becoming worse. On Sun- day. he slipped in some manner and sustained a fraeture of both hones. He was taken to Dr. Jamiesou’s of- lice where an X-ray was taken, disâ€" closing the nature of the injury.

On Mon- day evening, he landed one at Aber- deen that measured 19 inches from head to tail, and weighed 2 pounds cleaned and with the head out on.
