Peters, of McKillop, was adopted; "We, the members of Huron Presbytery, wish to go on re- cord e cord as deploring the action of the Town of Dresden in placing before their citizens an issue, which has re- sulted in a glaring case of racial dis- crimination in Canada: We regret, that the feeling has gone abroad, that the churches were apparently indifferent on this matter, which will result in erecting a serious barrier between the races involved, and that a shadow has been cast upon Pro- testantism all across Canada, We sincerely hope, that no such issues shall ever again be raised in our country, and that' the action of one small town shall not become a pre- cedent for• other centres large or small." A motion was passed, strongly op- posing commercial sport on the Sab- bath.• Sympathy was expressed to the Chairman in the loss of a brother.
