We' wrote out a receipt and gave it to Chief Siong then,' noticinga bill for street; oiling lying there waiting to pairs. we •picked it, up, asked the Chief to recti' t 1p 1$, it being ' his business to collect same, and handed .him back his two dollars and received two cents in change. 'Then Chief Stong said -might he iii„ IL zust as well pay his )'enewal for The News -Record while lie' was in the office, so' we wrote hint out > a receipt,; for subscription for 1925 and he handed us back the two dollars.

' After twenty yearsofcareful-and prayerful consideration, viewing' the whole matter from every 'possible angle; the Presbyterian, church, in Canada has s deerde d, t o enter e er Church Union with Methodist and Congrega- tional on re a g g tional churches' and: form the United Church of Canada. This decision was reached at the meeting of the General Assembly of June last. The Parliament of Can- ada has granted the necessary legis- lation in relationship thereto;. It was hoped by all Unionists that when this was done the church would then go quietly forward into union.` It was -further the hope of tke majority of the session : of this, congregation that WWiliis church would automatic - /WY go into union on June 10, 1925. Entertaining this hope the session versy and to maintain the work -of has sought to refrain from contro- our congregation in that efficiency which can 'cone only through peace and hearty cooperation of all its parts. I have persistently refrained from discussing the question in :pri- eate, except at such times as it has come up incidently in the course of conversation. And up to the present, I have utteredno word on the ques- tion in my discourses. I have been criticised for maintaining such an at- titude of refusal to discuss the ques- tion in the pulpit. If' may appear now that I have been acting unwise- ly. Let me assure you, however,that in so acting I .had •the hest interests of Willis church at heart. I. know. enough about the past history of Wil- lis church to be the Iast one to cense in the least way any disruption of the congregation. The time has come. however; when MISS D. A. HOLMES PASSES. Miss D, A. Holmes, of Holneesviile, who has been very 01 in Clinton hos- pital for the past three weeks, the resort of injnriee r'ecerved when she was thrown from a buggy in the; action must' be taken. And that for two reasons: (1) Members o the chui-eli often ask ne for information - and say they would dike to know whatr their minister has to say about the hatter, and some who have so spolc- ento ne have said, we do not know the facts, we ought to be informed if a vote is ,to be '• taken -so that wit might: vote intelligently. (2) As stat- ed, it was the hope of the majority of ou5 session that we would go, `with- outdisturbance, automatically into Church Union on June 10, 1925- It' is, however, i the publicly declared termination oY the • opponents of Church Unioneto enter' every cong're- •ati on, and d if . g at all0 ' P sszble bring on 'a vote with a view to voting out of the Union. Willis ` church could hardly hope to escape a vote. Hence, with this determination on the one band and the request that +1-e minister should inform the people. on the other the session has deter-. milled, upon this Iine, of action. To 'begin: with I deem it advis- able to state why l am a unionist. l am aware that this is not the ques tion immediately under consideration, but if one would give leadership in any sphere he must know whereof he ,speaks, and if I ane to lead the minds of the people in this great question it is needful that I should show them that I have not jumped to some conclusion on the question but that my position is the result of careful thought and sound reasoning and sane judgment. Why, then, am is a Unionist? There are three main: lines of thought along which my mind has travelled to reach my conclusions: • 1. There is the Scriptural reason. a. In ,Ino. 17:21 Our Lord in his greatintercessory prayer, prays "that they all inay be one; 'as -Thou Father art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in tis, that the world may believe that thou hast sent me." I ani well aware that two interpretations are put upon this prayer. And there are certain, such as Dr. Stuart Parker, who would prevent any from ever interpretingit in any other light than as he sees it --that is the spiritual. But the spir-' itual according to the mind's of a great host of Christian teachers in- eludes the organic. There are nun. crows able Bible students who Under- stand nderstand the Master here, to pray not only for the higher,' the spiritual t nion, -but also for the. ,unity of the visible church. I shall bring forward he argument of three only. 1. lir. R. E. Speer, a foremost resbyterian of the U,S. He says in its ."St, John's Gospel," page 161, "it. s a prayer for unity. IIe, Jesus, ees all the multitudes who were to elieve in Him and He asks again nd again, (a); That they all may be ne (b) Even as Thou Father art in me and I in Thee (I and the Father re one) that they also may be one us (c)' That they inay he one eves s we are one. (d) That they may; made de perfect into one. This prayer cannot be fulfilled, in eetarianisn; It cannot be fulfilled what is sometimes offered as suf- eiept "fraternal relations." That was not the kind of unity for which our Saviour prayed. It was not co- esti on ortoleration p or fi'aternity: was' oneness. Only 'in a unity of isciples like' the unity of the Father Huron road, died last night. The i funeral takes place from Holnnesville 1 Methodist church at one o'clock Sat- t urday afternoon..

He says: "Christian nion is necessary first of all because fist our Lord willed and wills it. c Christian can ever be satisfied til Christ is satisfied.

Notice. -"tile world:" It was to be such a visible, unity that the world was to believe that the Father sent the Son because of the visible unity of the Church.
