Rev. W. H. Smith. . The Gem- mission's fnding is published With- out comment: Mr. Falconbridge. Mr. Wardrope. Mr. Cnssels. Application of the minority of Durham Presbyterian church un- der section 10 of the United Church of Canada Act. The case was heard at Walkerton on the 27th of Novem- ber, 1925. (Reasons of the Chairman). As in other cases, so in this case, the respondents called a number of witnesses to show that neither its former Presbyterian church nor the former Methodist church could ac- commodate the combined United church congregations so as to ren- der one of the church buildings available for the applicants. The applicants at the hearing asked for a recommendation that the former Methodist church (the smaller of the two churches) should be given to them, and their counsel intimated that they would be willing to pay a sum of money to the respondents, presumably to assist the latter in improving the accommodation in the former Presbyterian church for tne use of the combined United church congregations. The application was, gowiever, opposed by the respon- en 3. In the Waterloo case, a suggestion was made similar to that made in this case; namely. that the appli- cants should pay a sum of money to the respondents to meet the ar- gument of the respondents that nei- ther of the existing churches would accommodate the combined United church congregations with- out substantial structural altera- tions. The present case is a strong- er one in favor of the applicants’ contention that they are left in a position of extreme hardship, be- cause the distance which they must travel in order to attend a continu- ing Presbyterian church is much greater; but on the other hand, the respondents’ objection to the recom- mendation asked for is more diffi- cult'to meet~ because in the present case. the Commission is asked to recommend that a former Methodist congregation, which entered the United church intact and which is carrying on its work as a separate unit, should abandon its own church building and unite with another (2011- gregation. I'nder section 10. however. the Commission can merely act in an advisory capacity and make recom- mendations and suggest. adjustments and plans for the, purpose of reme-iy- ing the hardship. The utility of recommendations and suggestions depends on the likelihood of. their leading to.the discovery and adop- tion of some practicable method of remedying the hardship. The Commission has now heard more than fifty cases. the majority of them being applications under secâ€" tion 10. and I am becominz dailv more-impressed with the futilitv of many of the. applications under that section. In most of the cases. I'nited church congregations are the re- spondents. and I desire to make it ('lO'lI‘ that in the observations I am now making, I am not presuming to blame or censure them for refusinir to accede to the applications. It. is natural that. they should not. be will- ing to sacrifice the advantages ae- cruing to them from Church I’nion in order to provide accommodati‘bn for non-concurrent minorities. The mere factthat the. respondents on O ‘- A_ -,. ‘A‘ A' nA‘.-A‘A In the present case. as in the Wa- terloo case, the. applicants are an organized congregation worshipping in a town hall in default of a church building, and I should have been glad to concur in any recommenda- tion which would seem likely to afford them relief. if any practica- ble method of relief were availa- ble. I do not, however. see what reâ€" lief can be given consistently with due regard to the respondents” rights, and I concur with my fellow com- missioners in making no recom- mendation. nose an applicaion is not of course a sufficient ground in itself for reâ€" fusing to make a recommendation. but when the. opposition is sunnort- ed by evidence that. the carrying out of the recommendations would deâ€" nrive the resoondents of needed fa- cilities. or substantially hinder their work. or drive them to substantial reconstruction or rebuilding. the Commission must refuse to make the recommendation and leave the re.- spondents in nossession of the pro- pertv of which they are lawfully m control as a result of_ the vote. Different considerations may apply to an application under sec.9 (f) be- cause under that provision of the Act. the Commission has jurisdiction to make an order awarding a church building to the applicants without the consent of the respondents. and thus compel the majority of a con- gregation to resort to such other churches as may he available to them. The duty of the Commission in such a case is to consider the church needs of the community or locality as a whole. and within the limits of section 9 (fl. to compel the respondents to make the necessary readjustments so as to give. died to the intention of the legislature. _ Batons fox-70707077131011 of That Body in fighting 39099110949301: _ tor Rcliot on [pplioation by Isabel-3 of pnrhun Pretty-brim donor.- R9113! 9n Km. Tie result is that in many cases, THE DURHAM CHRONICLE Don’t: for Washing Blank": New blankets are always a joy. There is nothing much softer, pret- tier or lovelier than new blankets. One always associates this loveli- ness with the newness and dreads the time the blankets have to be washed. And dry cleaning is never as satisfactory for blankets as wash- ing. To be sure in most cases they feel and look very nice, but there is nothing like soap and water to clean any article which comes as near to one as blankets. In order to preserve some of their freshness, here are a few “don’ts” for washing blankets. it. seems a waste of time and money for the Commission, assisted by counsel for both parties, to hear ap- plications under section 10. In an occasional case, a reasonable ad'ust- ment is made as the result 0 the discussion before the Commission. but frequently the minorities might just as well negotiate with the ma- jorities and make the best terms they can, without the assistance of the Commission. It is a great pity that minorities in all parts of the pro- vince should have greatly exagger- ated notions of the powers of the Commission, only to discover after months of hopeful waiting that the tCrommission can do nothing for em. 17th December, 1925. Reasons of Ir. Wardropo Much evidence was produced both by the applicants and the respond- ents in this case. The vote was close, in the pro- poriion of Mir 10 three in favor of union, and the applicant minor- ity is an organized congroga'imi ni‘ substantial strength, and undoubted- ly in a position of extreme religious hardship, within the meaning of sec- tion '10.

I have with much regret come to the conclusion that the Commission cannot make any recommendation in thi_s_ application. The Unionist members of Knox church in Knox chmch and the members of the fm'mex' Methodist. church are each carrying on net-ire- ivwih their own clihrc'hos. Kngx church and the former .Meuuwhst church are also each assomated WM] 3. _c_01_1AI_1t.ry charge.“ Neither of the Durham churches, in my Opinion. is sufficiently large to enable the Unionist members of Knox church and the. members of the former Methodist church to unite and carry on their work in one building. as efficiently as they carry it on now. if indeed it could be done at all without increasing the accommodation of the church that might be selected. When to this is added the fact that each of these churches is associated with another charge. the four congregations be- ing ministered to by two ministers. I have come to the conclusion that no relief can be recommended for the applicants. Water! Water! Water! What Is Good Health Worth? R.R. No. 4. Durham.

It might I think. even be inferred that if a decided efl'ort were made. the Sun- day schools could be amalgamated and the work carried on satisfac- torily in the one building.

The position would be different if the former Methodist church were large enough for its own members and the Unionist mem- bers from the Presbyterian congre- gation. As things stand, the former Methodist congregation cannot be exiiilected to efl'ace itself against its w: . At the same time, it is reasonably plain that two congregations of the United church are not really neces- sary in Durham and perhaps an ar- rangement. may voluntarily be com. to by which there shall be on.
