CHURCH UNION ASSURED
The Committee on Church Union
representine the Methodist, Pres-
byterian , and Con eregalionalist
Churches of Canada, which was in
session in Toronto last week, le -
sided on Friday .evening that there
was no obstacle in the way of church
union. The finding of the committee
%will now be submitted to the su-
trreme courts of the churches con-
eeerned by 1).t n' to the lower courts
and by the better to the individual
congregations who will the asked to
vote upon ie. The hope was express-
ed that Iiy the close of 1910 or the
beeie ling of 1911 this process would
b, completed, ant. the organic union
of the three churches would be an
accomplished fact. In order to place
all the churches upon an equal foot-
ing, it was considered advisable that
the voting upon the question of un-
ion should take simultaneously in
the three churches, and as the gen-
eral conference of the Methodist
church will not tneet till September
1010. it 'was agreed to recommend
that the different churches should
express their opinion upon this im-
portant subject in the autumn of
that year.
