(Written by Frank Yeigh) The Presbyterian Parliament of Canada has again been summoned to its sederunts and sessions;; its com- mittees and conclaves. Montreal will be the city honored \ for tide great eccelesiastical gather- ing with Knox Crescent Presbyterian church as its meeting place. The first Wednesday in June is the tine -hon- ored date for the inauguration of this gathering of the Presbyterian clans from ocean to ocean, when 350 Com- rnissioners—half clerical, hall lay— will report for the high and solemn duties of their office, with Rev. Eph- riam Scott, D. D., as Moderator and Rev. J. M. McNamara as Clerk of the Assembly. All Gelieral Assemblies are unigne —never commonplace or dull. The King's business demands the highest consideration. Thus it is that this assembling of the. Knights of the Burning Bush has a significance all its own, representing as they will the third largest Protestant denomin- ation in the Dominion.. The first year will have passed since "the great 'disruption." The tenth of J'une, 1925, will for matlY a year be e Memorable date when a new tide in affairs of this historic Church set in, and a new page was opened. Phis alone will make the reports and records of the approach- ing Assembly of exceptional inter- est. ' • A Busy Time The 52nd General Assembly will have by way of tin agenda enough to keep them busy for a week or more of diligent attention to busi- ness, mostly three soderunts a day. They do not come to town for pleas- uring or shopping or visiting. These must take their chance in-between times. Reports will be submitted which will reveal the purse and state of health of this still virile Church. The Commissioners will be reminded more than once that everything has to be rebuilt from the foundations up. The oldtime edifice seemed to he in ruins, but only "seemed." Af- ter the fateful tenth of June, from "Everywhere, East and West, comes a record of astonishing progress in the stupendous work of re,organiza- tion" is the message of the Editor of the Presbyterian News -Bulletin. The young -old Moderator, Dr. Scott, who wields a trained pen as a reli- gious journalist of half a century Writes in characteristic vein "our good ship lost a few sails, some boats were carried off; some of her deck load was swept overboard, but the timbers stood„the strain. With helm and compass and chart intact, with favorable winds and smooth seas and sunny skies, she sails under her great Captain who brought her safely through the storm." There you have it in a sentence, even though a long one. Nominations for Moderator "The Fathers and Brethren" will at once set themselves after the roll call to select a Moderator and there again is a choiee that means much— of recognition of past services, of a- bility to "moderate" a no light task— and of the honor in which the chosen one is held. The grand Old Man of the Presbyterian Church-e.Rev. Eph- riam Scott—will conclude a memor- able year of service, all the More noteworthy from one who has seen the procession of 80 years or more pass by. His stalwart form, his re- sonant voice, his gift of clear expres- sion and thought, belie his years and when he passes the wand of office over to his successoie he will have won the appreciation of all for the Builders' Supplies WE RANDLE All Kinds of Lumber, interior Finish, Doors, Sash ,OyProo Fireproof Wallboard, Lime, Hardwall Plaster IL se, and Quebec Shingles Brantford Asphalt Roofing MirAll goods delivered on short notice —ale Phone at 6ur expensp for prices Gerrie &r 3; Wroxater 626 r 9 • R.

Doee this aged and yet active opt- imist of a Moderator exaggerate in his encoueriging outlook? The re - Poets will tell the Aseembly, the Church and the world that the actual membership of the Presbyterian Church in Canada is 153,000, based on official returns from_ Clerks of Preehyteries — the first statistical strength since the Union vote and Probably with more to hear from. This total represents over 40 per rent. of the names reported on the church rolls of 379,762 prior to the union. The accuracy of this estim- ate of nearly 400,000 Ss doubted by some as having called for a drastic "purging" of the rolls in the expres- sive phrase of Presbyterianism. The actual voting cm June 10, further showed such action. Eight synods, 42 Presbyteries end more than 1 100 congregations, 'augumented charges and ntission fields further reveal the degree of recovery of the divided church in a few months' time. These figures may well be regarded in the opinion of these "continuing" folks, as remarkable in view of all the cir- curnstances, making it, as has been said, the third largest Protestant body in Canada and also repreSenting three-quarters of a rnillion of popu- lation. The figures of 1100 include all preaching station and minority groups which are scheduled as "mis- sion fields." The latter will receive II degree of aid according to their necessities and thus be helped- to self- support as many have already reach- ed and many more will, it is promis- ed, in the near future. Financial Program Money counts in a way with Pres- byterians, though it is kept in its proper place, The re -organized church started out with a some -what new idea in church management by a board of administration, composed entirely of laymen, with Thomas Mc- Millan, a leading Toronto business man as chairman, and another lay - 0100, E. W. McNeill, as treasurer. No more filling of all andel positions with elergymen, it was decided. A. budget of $250,000 was set up by the board, which has been practical- ly raised, and, with out any tergent campaign. Receipts from June 10 1925, to Jan. 31, 1920, totalled s $227,000. A substantial bank credit v has been arranged, but not a cent has been required. In lieu thereof a sur- t plus is shown of over $83,000, the s first time in many years that a sure e plus has been reported. It is a much more cheering word than "deficft." t The spirit of loyalty that has mani- p fested itself in this practical financial J way is highly commended and is re- c garded as a hopeful sign, The year le under way calls for a budget of b 600,000, $250,000 of which will be for home missions; $150,000 for foreign missions; $25,000 each for ag the two theological colleges, and $25,- S 000 each also for the two beneficiary al funds, of the Aged and Infirm Minis, tars and the widows and orphans funds. Missions naturally occupy a pro- minent place in any Presbyterian Program, nor is any invidious dis- tinction made as between home and foreign departments, One hundreci and twenty-eight ministers and them, logiCal students have been appointed to home mission fields for the coming summer. "We have been able to sup- ply all fields and also financially able to meet every demand for mainten- ance'," is the claim al Dr. Andrew S. Grant, a koy man in a key position. "The recent meeting of the general beard of missions may be regarded," says the 131ue Book, "as one of the most memorable events in the emelt history of the Presbyterian Church in Canada" Price Reduced on Although it will he 50010 2 months before the noW honey is ready we are making a re- duction on what is now on hand.

A native Hungarian pastor has, for example, been appointed to minister to his fel- low -countrymen in Toronto, Welland and other Ontario centres. This fea- ture of the Presbyterian- home mis- sion program is already an important one, and plans are laid for its steady expansion. The Foreign Mission situation is less well defined than that of Horne Missions, owing to the obvious dif- ficulties facing both the Presbyter- ian and the United churches in de- limiting the existing Mission areas in several foreign countries. Negotia- tions have been under way to this end; and recommendation may be laid before the Assembly for occu- pying certain foreign fields in whole or in part, that may be avennged with the Foreign Mission Board of the United Church, or that may be allott- ed to the former iiSr the Federal Com- mission, or , as a third alternative, i may be set up anew and for which there are available workers and am- ple unoccupied territory. The Pres- byterians, have, however, already a some definite fields of their own such as the Gwailior and Bhil Missions of Central India, under the charge re- spectively of Dr. Wilkie and Dr. Buchanan, while Dr. Goforth is at work in China.

It is eise represented by delegates at British and United States Presbyterian assemblies, and is a unit in the various types of co- operative work, carried' on in Can- adaiuch are it few of the encourag- ing notes that will be struck at the big Presbyterian Parliament. "It is no 'vanishing quantity,' but strong, growing anti virile, with wide open liars of opportunity for service far and near," is the clarion call and the chord of optimism struck by these sturdy "Continuees." "All's well" and "stones that rebuild the well" are typical headings to thctir cheer - ng Presbytery reports. With such an actuating spirit, the Presbyterian church in Canada would seem to be destined for a continued existence (Id a prosperous future. Ministers Assured The separation of June last, left the Continuing Presbyterian church with its greatest problem— that of a supply of Ministers. "We are 11007 assured of a supply of Ministers," the Assembly will, be told, "that will enable the Church to meet its need, provided that arrangements can be made to bring the available ministers and congregations together, and tops have been taken with this in lew." No less than two hundred lave been permanently settled with he Linked church offices alone, be - Ides some othees settled independ- ntly. Recruits are coming from ther countries. Eighty-four minis - 015 have sent out through the sup- ly committee each Sunday since une last. The prospects are en- ouraging therefore that this prob- m is being solved as fast as could e expected.

There is ample room in this ample Dominion for the fullest degree of home mission service on the part of evety church, an obligation always recognized by Presbyterians. This will continuo to be one of the chief outlets of their missionary zeal, All over the country, east ancl west, are found the mission fields, covered in many cases during 81112111101' months by the student missionary, who is a real pioneer sky pilot.
