UM PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH TO CONTINUE To The Editor of The ,Advance; t A large and representative meeting of the Executive of the Organization for continuing the Presbyterian Church in Canada, was held in. Knox Church, Toronto, 0.1 July inet, Com• alunications wore received from all parts of the Dominion, all expressing a more resolute determination on the part of the people to continue the Pres- byterian Church in Canada, in unity and harmony, as heretofore, with all other Evangical Churcbee, After lengthened conference the following statement was agreed upon, Inasmuch as the Presbyterian Church in Canada consists of its com- municant membetship, voluntarily banded together on the basis of certain standards of Doctrine and Church Government, while the mem- bare of the General Assembly and of other Church Courts are bub the ser- vants of • the Church, chosen by the people to carry on the work of the Church, within the Church and on be- half of the Church, in accordance with those Standards, and for no other pur- pose whatsoever, and are pledged in - their ordination vows to such a course, so long as they remain minieters or elders of the Presbyterian Church. Inasmuch as the General Assembly, in revolving, by a majority to terminate the separate existence of the Presby- terian Church in Canada as a •nember of the world-wide Presbyterian family, and to merge it into a new organize- tion, has exceeded its rights and powers, and its decision is therefore merely the expression of the individual opinion of the members of the Assem- bly who thus voted, and is of no bind- ing authority upon any others. Inasmuch as those members of the Assembly who thus voted -being less than one-seventh of the ministers of our Church, and less than one fiftieth part of the elders of our Church, and representing the expressed -desire and vote of only one-third of the com- municant membership of our Church- haee stated their purpose of seeking legislation to take away, by force of law, the name and civil rights and property of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, and transfer the same to a new Church Organization. It is therefore recommended to all who do not approve of the unlawful action of the majority of the Assembly be disregarded, that the Presbyterian Church in Canada be continued, and that all proper steps be taken to protect the interests and' rights of the people as members of the Presbyterian Church. Committees were appointed to make arrangements for a General Convoca- tion in 'Toronto, early in September, of those who purpose continuing the Presbyterian Church. As the action of the Assembly has made necessary the duty of defending our own Church, involving consider- able expenditure, those who wish our Church to continue are asked to share the burden, and to send their contribu. time for the same, as soon a3 possible, to the Treasurer, Mr. Cr. S. McDonald, 12 Queen Sr. East Toronto. Signed; John Penman, Chairman, T, Wardlaw Taylor,. Secretary. 11 THANKS FROM BRAMSHOTT Town Clerk Groves received the fol- lowing letter of thanks for the par- cel of safety razor and micro$• recent- ly sent by the Municipality of Wing - am.
