The Presbyterians of Windsor are
just now considering the re building
of their church. It is likely a much
larger church than the old one will be.
erected, and the frontier city expects
to be able to boast of having the finest
church in Western Ontario. The idea
is to have a gymnasium, billiard and
pool room, drill hall and seyeral other
things which are not usually found in
connection with a Presbyterian ch .rch.
Tile idea is Rev. Mr. Tolmie's. He does
not believe in giving all the good
things to the devil, and that if . the
church tool: these matters up, and made
them subservient to religion, they
could be made a blessing instead of a
curse.

At a recent meeting of L. 0. L., No.
808, the following resolution was pass-
ed: In view of the fact that the Man-
itoba School Act of 1890 has been de•
dared by the higest court of the realm
to be constitutional, we regard with the
gravest alarm the efforts now beim;
made to render the act ineffective by
restoring the former system of separate
schools in definance of the wishes of the
people of Manitoba and their clearly
established rights. We further pledge
ourselves to stand by the Orangemen
and Protestants of Mantoba by not
voting for any candidate who will not
pledge himself definitely in regards to
this matter. We earnestly ask all loy-
al citizens to do likewise.

Church Union.
To the Editor of the Exeter Advocate.
DEAR Sim—Please give this letter
and
in your valuable ' paper a ad
I have a few things to say in .con-
nection with this union question, for
there semis to be rumours aflcat,•whieh
are not very reliable, and I think it is
nothing more then right to give a
thorough explaination of the whole of
fair, then if there is any person that
eau disprcve my statements they are
at liberty to da so. As you are aware
our church was burned on. Sunday
morning, March 24th, 1895, and it was.
arranged in a private way by the min-
ister and some of the oliicels to hold a
meeting ou Mouclayeof the two boards
together, namely tete trustee and the
quarterly boards co consider what was
best to be done. I did not get any word.
of this meeting,but heardof it by chance.
Well, I went over, but did not stop till
noon, but thought they would be
through by that time, thinkiug•_ it would
be all settled to build ou the old site.
But after dinner Brother Ilowat•d came
up to have me go over again that they
were going to discuss the advisability
of union with the James Street Metho•
dist Church. After listening to the dis-
cussions for some tirne, some suggest-
ing one thing, sotne another, Mr. Pick-
ard suggested that a committee be ap-
pointed to go down free handed, to con-
fer with the James Street Alicia' board
to get some idea of the possibility of a
anion and report the result to our
board, but t his suggestion did not take.
1 suggested, for the purpose of having seemly, unsavory, ungrateful, uu-
a definite uud:rstandicg right there grounded, un guarded, un manly, unjust,
unasked for display of absurd stub-
borness. I say if they had used their
alliance to win instead of to drive, the
greater part of us would have been
with them to -day. Now, to prove my
statements to be true is not hard to do,
for in the first place they snatched the
very first opportunity to vote down.
the first offer James St. made that there
should be no chance, whatever, for ee
second consideration. Secondly, the
last meeting' demonstrated very cota
elusively the hostile spirit to union
that burned away down deep in the
heart.

Oner'so
it came out in the Times,—"carriedelve
to one." You may imagine how I' felt,
when 1 saw this statement in the
Times—"Ce.rried five to one," I
thought of all tee shams and mislead-
ing, statements I ever saw,this capsthe
whole, considering from whence it name -
IF it had come from men who had no
respect for the truth, or nien under the
influence of liquor, I could make some
allowance, but to find that it came
from men that pretended to be some-
body, I was best. I happened to meet
with the Editor of the Times and I spoke
to him about it, for I could not under-
stand how 12 on one side and 6 on the
other made five to one. I don't think
he saw it very clearly, but he tried .tc
explain it to me and referred me to a
certain man as authority. Still 7 could
not see it. So they gloried in their
shank by having put in the paper asa
triumphant victory. This brings me
to the third and last scene, which wars
too tragical for discription in the small
space that .1 have, for my letter is much
longer now than I intended Suffice to
say that it must be indelibly stamped
on the minds of all that beheld the de-
plorable scene. The above is what I
believe to be the facts of the case. And
I will further say, I believe if the last
meeting had been conducted in a,
friendly, christian spirit, with courtesy
and kindness, using their influence to
win, instead of that domineering, me
and then, so that there would be no
fooling, nor hypocrisy about the thing,
that a c ote be taken by our two boards
together, then assembled, to see how we
stood for uuion, awl if there was a ma-
jority against union to drop it right
there. This woald not work either,
Now, gentlemen, I am going to say
what I believe to be true, that there
was a great deal of sham about this
union affair with some of the members
of our two boards, for they professedly
made it appear that they were willing
to go into union and at the same time
bitter against it. Now, I say in the
name of common -sense, why all this
twisting and scheming. If you had
done as I advised, the thing would have
been settled right there and then, and
we would have taken right hold and
helped to put up a new church. But no,
there was not manliness enough about
them for that. But they thought they
were smart enough to put ou the ap-
pearauce of armourist arid to slip out
untarnished; that we were such dupes
we would never see it. So they went
to work aid framed a proposition and
made it stringent enough so to be pret-
ty sure it would not be accepted at first
reply. This is not only another type
of Judas Iscarriot but two fold worse,
for Judas did confess to his guilt, but
these men never. Now, this brings me
to the second part of this scene, which
is just as dark as the first. Now, the
aforesaid proposition was sent down by
some of the members of our board to
the James Street church board for con•
sideration, and the Monday night fol-
lowing was fixed for our board to as
semble in Drew's Hall and James St.
to present to our board their reply to
the said proposition for our considera
tion. I wilt just say here that James
St, delegation came and read the reply
and one of tnem then made a brief
statement that they did not say that
they would be final, so they laid the
paper on the table and withdrew, and
as a matter of course discussion on the
James St. reply to the Main St. propo-
sition began, which was continued for
some time, until Mr. Denney aroseand
made a resolution to this effect: That,
as the James St. reply does not meet
the Main St. Church's demands, resolved
that we build on the old site. I don't
'titan to say this is the exact wording
of the resolution, but it is the meaning.
After this resolution was made and
seconded, decussion continued for some
time longer. Then a leading member
arose to bis feet— yes,I may say the fore-
most member on the board,—the same
man that rose in his place in the first
meeting, at the Town Hall—and strong•
ly advised not to do this thing in to
much hurry; not to decide too hasty,but
to consider it very deliberately for it
was a most yital question; that it de-
manded much deliberation, for we
were not only doing business for the
present, but its effects would reach
away on in the future. I say, that
this same man spoke with consider-
able fire in his words, professing that
the James.St, people had not come up
to the requirements of the Main St, and
declared that he was ready for the mo-
tion (sudden change about.) But some
of the economist pleaded for a little
more time to confer with the James St.
people, and especially did the secretary
of the trustee board plead for more
time to shut it down, so abruptly,
did not show a friendly spirit, but all
to no avail. But the vote must be tak-
en. Now, these two reverend gentle-
men,'basked by Berne of the members
of the boardl-•-east it looked like it—ar•
ranged things very nieely to suit them-
selves, They said now let all the tress
teas vote first. Accordingly they took
their yote and found that there were 8
out of 11 on their' side, Now, they saki
we will tate the vote of the quarterly
board. Don't you see, for the greater
part of the trustee beard wore also
