THE REASONS FOR NO MORE . Asseini41y as the supreme com,rt of. the
VOTING'
Rev, Alfred Gandier, D.l) , Modeed-
tor oi', the "General Assembly of the
PresbyterianChurch, gives !the follow-
i1g reasons why there ,cannot..be and.
ought not to be another vote :ort
Church Union: •
Anti ,Unionist writers, arid streakers
are now, calling for another vote' of
the Presbyterian peeple on the ques-
tion of Church. Union." and asking,
"why not trust the people?" thereby
suggesting ' that the ,Committee o0
Church Union are afraid to trust the
people. I feel it naoessery that the
Moderator, of the Assembly should
make a clear 'statement: 80'to,,the
present .situation and spears with con_
plete `tfrankpass on the' 'whole ques-
tion of,alotlier vote." '
'L .The people ',have been trusted
and trusted fully: By their own dir-
ect vote' and through• their represen-
tetives-in Presbyteries and General
Assembly the people have elearly.in
dicated their will. They. voted direct-
'ly at the only time when according to
our Constitution they . could vote,
namely before action was taken "by
Presbyteries 'under the Barrier .Act.
`Before the ?rileliyter'ies and Assembly
took anal: action. under the Barrier
Act, net only were all the people in-
vited•to'vote for or a*must Union on
•.the present basis,. their were distinctly
told that this' Was the final vote and
`that the matter Was, now to be set-
tled." Thus ''challenged to 'express
their. mind, twenty-two. per' cent. " of
the Church members voted' against
Union,.' while of those 'voting there
was a majority of 40,000 in favor of
113100. More than 100,000 'did not
vote and''thereby declared' their wit-
lingness to accept the decision of the
majority of those who did vote.
In the light of -that vote:of.the peo-
ple, the Presbyterians by a majority
of 58 t0'18 voted in favor of Union on
the present 'basis, and :the General
Assembly,,bya similar vote of 4 to 1,'
passed .the, TTnion• proposals into a
permanent enactment of the Church.
Since that decision the Assembly -it-
self could not change the Church's
polity on Union without referring the
matter' to the Presbyteries under the
Barmier Act. That • the Bresbyterc
res'would rot entertai
i n Such npro-
posal for one moment is, evidenced, by
the fact" that lass ,spring out of 56
Pres+byteiies considering the'question
52 overtuzied the;Assembly to proceed
forthwith to the' eonsuntmation, o0
Union, _ Let it be' remembered 'that
Presbyteries are' thoroughly 1'epresa
entative, • everyreongregation in ' the
laird being:represented 31 'the Pres-
^., bytery by its Minister and ane rep-
resenthtive Eider. , •
2. The etiestien of Church Union
having been ' finally decided by the
Px''esbyterian ' Church in Canada
through a vote of her members and
adherents, followed :liy the constitu-
tional action of the Pr'esbyter4es un-
der ,the Barrier 'Act and the General
Church, the Assembly of 1923. -gave
final instruction to.the Union Commit-
tes and the time is vast to ask,' any-
one to vote on this natter.'
3. Th ,Assembly 1lavipg decided to
proceed forthwith to ,the consumma-
tion of Union'` instructed its Union
Committee, in co-operation with` simi-
lar :Committees from other negotiat-
ing: Churches to put the Bills in final
shape, secure their enactment and
take all^.other steps necessary, to
emery outithe decision of'the Church.
Do Ariti-Unionists believe tiiat'the
Union Committee could ignore the
instruction Of. Assembly, take natters
into its own hands and instead of ,g'o-
ing' forward as instructed turn ,aside
On a tack of its-owir and call fpr-. an.
othor'vote? That would,be not only
a divisive but a subversive course
such as "has; never even been thought
of in the -Whole history of, our Church,
and would leave' us without, Church.
Government oe , Church order giving
the whole situatibn over .,to chaos.
.4. Even were it possible, another
vote would do no good, There would
still be a majority and a minority,
and promineet anti -Unionists heve,de-
dared- that no matter what the na-
jority'they would' not enter •the Un-
ited Church. No one couIci', give
pledges that another vote, whatever
the majority, would''pfevont a sjalit,
anti no pier given by'pay.oiganiz_
ation could be held to ibtl" •binxing..
5. 'A, fate vote could not how be
taken.. Thousands of our Presbyter,
tan.7aeeple, the very ones most inter-
ested. and whose rights ate most eon-
cerired in the verdict, are now in
Union Churches and would be 'dis-
franchised.
The Presbyterian "Church in
Canada, having decided her .policy,
'fornmallydeciared that:decisien to the
ether negotiating Churches and en=
couragged local Union adiong congre-
gations 'wherever it 'was though des-
irable, nrrlviding them with a Con-
stitution "until the Organic '(Jninn of
the three negotiating Churches is eon-
eumsnated." •.:More than twelve: hun-
dred pastoral charges ' with : some
three, thousand congregations` have
taken our Church at her word and'
have entered •into Union in all good
faith, To go to the people now for
another vote would be' to ask wheth-
er- our. Church is 'to be untrue toco-
venants ; solemnly made: with others
after long and careful, coarsideratlon,
and believed to be necessary to the
most. effective''service,;, n'the part of
out : Canadian' Churches. There;.; are
shine things the Piesbytertan•'Church
In, . Canada floes note do and one of
them is to ask questions of.herself or
anyone else as to whether sire is to
keepfaith - or not.
Some have recently'.sngg'ested that
Parliament should-order-anpther Vote.
'Do they know what they are suggest -
Ing? Nothing less than that Parlia-
ment should- dictate ehe policy and
procedure of a particular Church, The

'Woul l rajse.a. far bigger ques-
tion than th�it of the present:Church
Union and one in which all the -Chur-
ches era, 'equ flay s concerned, -namely
the whole question of spiritual Trec-,
dour- and of state control in religion.
If 'Parliament• can decide the -polity
and procedure of the Presbyterian
Church and 'demand' that it be:other
than Presbyterian, then Parliament
can do the 'same with the .Anglican
and 13aptist'' aper Methodist and Rd -
man Catholic and all other Churches
in;Canada. That would be Erastian>"
ism unheard of in modern times, and
the spiritual freedom, for "which the
Scottish Churches `pave contended
since the Reformation and which they,
have now Tully attained would' be at
.iii end in Canada. No one intaginee
that any Logisiature would.: assume
such responsibility ifit could.
Let me say, further, that I depre.
sate the tendency: to magnify the diffi-
culties in the way, and to overesti-
mate the :oppositions that eieists to
the policy of the Church. At the '
Union of 1875 the feeling ryas, just as
'strong as it is,toclay and the opposi-:
time relatively as great. At that
time there was alt appeal -to the
Courts for :an injunction to prevent
the negotiating Churches from apply-
frig forlegislation,
1 •i
the legislation was
opposed in, Parliament and in the Pro-
vincial Legislature, the ease was tak-
en: to the Privy Council, there were
many and dire;forebodings, of evil;
but the legislation, was:: secured and
the Union effected. Ultimately all
the non-concurring congregations
came into the-ittion,;the fears of the,
Anti -Unionists of that clay were clis-
credited 'awl the .highest., hopes of•.
the Unionists, far more t1t11 realized.
Every great 'forward .movement .ie.
an _adventure of faith, end were the.
counsels of the faint-hearted to' pre-'
tail the Church would be permanently
static and her new needs never net.
