MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.
CHURCIA NOTES
The vote on Church Union in Knox
Church, Teeswater, resulted in 151 in
favor and 132 against, a majority of 19
for Church union,
Rev, D. Wren, M. A., has accepted
an invitation to remain as pastor of
Brussels, Methodist Church for the
fourth year.
Rev. H. IL Bombes, B. A„ from New
Zealand, will occupy the pulpit in the
Baptist Church Next Sunday.
If the municipalities of O\ario
would all refrain fromhaving an
election this year, and just give
their retiring councils another
year by electing them by aeclam-
ation, it would save a great a-
mount of money that could be put
to better advantage because of
the present war.
It is not likely that many of the
municipalities in this district will follow
the advice contained in the above para-
graph which was taken from last week's
Wingham Advance.
In East Wawanosh we understand
that Mr. Peter W. Scott will contest
for the Reeveship with Mr. J. N,
Campbell, the present Reeve.
In Turnberry, we understand there
will be a contest and we are told there
will be three candidates for the Reeve -
ship.
Kinloss township there will be a
contest for both the Reeveship and the
Council.
In Wingham —Would twenty-five per
cent of the ratepayers be willing to see
this year's Cowieil returned by acclam-
ation?
We have heard it said many times
during the year that this year's Coun-
cil had not given, satisfaction in many
respects. The blame can be largely
placed on the shoulders of the ratepay-
ers. This year's Council was returned
by acclamation throegh the lack of in-
terest in municipal matters by our rate-
payers and the same thing can happen
for next year unless ratepayers do their
duty in seeing that men of business
ability are persuaded to offer them-
selves as candidates for the various
municipal offices. We say by all means
have a contest in Wingham and let the
men who serve have the backing of the
votes of the ratepayers.
Nomination will take place three
weeks from next Monday evening and
the municipal pot in Wingham should
soon be showing signs of boiling and, a
good, set of men selected as candidates
both for the Council and the Public
School Board.

The vote on church union at Lang -
side resulted as follows: For—mem-
bers, 92; adherents, 24; elders, 4.
Against—members, 146; adherents, 80;
elders; 6 Total tor, 120, total against,
182. The vote ir, Whitechurch was 85
for and 106 against and compared with
a vote three years ago of 26 for and 119
against, shows a net gain of 46 in favor
of union. The returns of the former
voting at Langside are not .available
but the voting there showed a consider-
able gain.

800 nurses, and about 20,000 homes

The Dominion Shell Committee has
been superseded by the Ittiperiai Muni-

sion has also been formed, with Sir
Sam Hughes as the nexus of both, with
the Canadian Government and the Im-
perial Government.

tion of church union. The majority
against the suggestion was large,

Person, to suffer for oar Trangression
and Inobedinee, by Death to overcome

But, because the only God -head could

CONFESSIONS OF FIAITH.
WESTMINSTER CONFESSION
1. God from all Eternity did, by the
most wise and holy Counsel of his awn
Will, freely, and unchangeably ordain
whatsoever pines to pass: Yet so, as
thereby neither is God ,the Author of
Sin, nor is Violence offred to the Will
Of the Creatures, nor is the Liberty or
Contingency of second Causes taken
away, but rather established.
II. Although God knows whatsoever
may, or can come to pass upon ail sup-
posed Conditions, yet bath he pot
decreed. any Thing, because he fore -saw
it as future, or se that which would
come to pass upon such Conditions.
III. By the decree of God, for the
Manifestation of his Glory, some Men
and Angels are predestinated unto ever-
lasting Life, and others fore -ordained
to everlasting Death.
IV. These Angels and Men, thus pre-
destinated and fore -ordained, are
particularly, and unchangeably design-
ed, aad their Number is so certain,
and definite, that it cannot Ise either
increased or diminished.
V. Those of .Mankind that are pre-
destinated onto Life, God, before the
Foundation' of the World was laid,
according to his eternal and immutable
Purpose, and the secret Counsel and
good Pleasure of his Will, hath chosen,
in Christ, unto everlasting Glory, out
of his mane free Grace and Love, with-
out any Fare -sight of Fniih, or good
,Works, or Perseverance in either of
them, er any otber Thing in the
Creature, as Conditions, or, Causes
moving him thereunto, and all to tbe
Praise of his glorious Graee.
As the subject of Church Union has
been agitating the minds of Presby•
terians for some time past and in all
probability will be for some time to
come. We think we need all the light
that can be given upon the matter. As
these changes are of vast importance
and occur only at great intervals of
time, they require our most careful,
serious consideration, not alone as to
the effect our decision may have upon
our own lives, but as to the effect it
will have upon succeeding generations.
As perhaps the most important doctri-
nal views upon which we fail to see
alike are, Election, Forotdination, and
Free Will. For the benefit of our
readers we give two extracts dealing
with these subjects, one from the
Scottish Confession, another from the
Westminster Confession, the Canadian
Basis of Union, we expect all have.
The Scots Confession of A. D. 1560,
was drawn up by insruotion of the es-
tates of Parliament ivy John Knox,
Winram, Hillock, Spotisweod, Douglas,
and Rowe, and was approved by ?stela-.
ment as hailsome and sound doctrines.
In 1648, the Westminster Confession
was compiled by one hundred and eight
delegates from England, Ireland and
Scotland. ten of these were from Scot-
land, five ministers, three elders and
two clerks.
SCOTCH CONFESSION.
For that same, eternal God and
Father, who of mere Grace elected us
in Christ Jesus his Son, before the
Foundation of the World was laid, ap-
pointed Him to be our Head, our
Brother, our Pastor, and great Bishop
of our Souls: But because that the
Enmity between the Justice of God,
and our Sins, was such, that no Flesh
by itself could, or might have attained
unto God; It behoved, that the Son
of God should descend unto us, and take
to himself a Body of our Body, Flesh of
our Flesh, and Bone of our bone, and
so become the Mediator between God
and Man; giving Power to so many, as
believe in him to be, the Sons of God,
as himself doth witness, I pass up to
my Father and unto your .r'ather, to
my God and your God: By which most
holy Fraternity, whatsoever we have
lost in Adam, is restored unto us again;
and for this Cause, are we not afraid
to call God our Father: Not so much
because he hath created ns, which we
have common with the Reprobates, as
p ,
for that lie hath given to us his only
Son, to be our Brother, and given unto
I us Grace to aeknowledge and imbrace
him for our only Mediator, as before is
mild. It behoved further the Mbssias
and Redeemer to be very God and very
Man, because he was to underly the
Punishment due for our Transgressions;
, and to present himself in the Presence
VI. As God hath appointed the Elect
unto Glory, so hath he, by the eternal
and most free Purpose of his Will,
fore -ordained alt the Means thereunto.
Wherefore they who are elected, being
fallen in Adam, are redeemed by
Christ, are effectually called uhto
Faith in Christ. by bis Spirit working
in due Season; are justified, adopted,
sanctified, and kept by his Power
through Faith unto Salvation. Neither
are any other redeemed by Christ,
effectually called, justified, adopted.
sanctified and saved, but the Elect
only.
VII. The rest of Mankind, God was
pleased, according to the unsearchable
Counsel of bis own Will, whereby he
extendeth, or withholdeth Mercy, as he
pleaseth, for tbe Glory of his Sovereign
Power over his Creatures, to pass by;
and to erdain them to Dishonour and
Wrath, for their Sin, to the Praise of
his glorious Justice.
VIII. The Doctrine of this high
Mystery of Predestination, is to be
handled with special Prudence and Care,
that. 11i;n a' tending. the Vs ill of God
revealed in his Word, and 'yielding
Obedience thereunto, may, from the
Certainity of their effectual Vocation,
be assured of their eternal Election,
So shall this Doctrine afford Matter of
Praise, Reverence, and Admiration. of
God, and of Humility, Diligenee, and
abundant Consolation to all that sincere-
ly obey the Gospel.

Every dollar yotinvest in a pair of these Rubbers for Men'
Ladies or Children will give you at least 25 per cent, abetter

last season's.
In buying your Rubbers take no chances on any old brand,
