VP,I, , Of the Lord Jesii Christ, We believe ii and confcs the Lord Jesus Christ, the only Medi ator between God and man, who, be ing the Eternal Son of God, for u men and for our salvation becam truly mart, being conceived of tit Holy Spirit and 'born oy the Virgil IVtary, yet without sin. Unto us Jr lias revealed the Father, by His livor and Spirit,,making known the perfec will of God.' For our redemption H fulfilled al righteousness, • offere propitiation for the sins of the whol wotld, He rose from the dead an asceneded into Heaven, where He ev er intercedes for us. In the hearts o believers He abides forever as the in dwelling Christ; above us and ove us all He rules; wherefore, unto Hill we render love, obedience and adore Con as our prophet, Priest and King. In all the Creeds of Christendom i there anything so fine in so brief ; compass? My own conviction is tha uowhere can you find a better state went of the evangelical faith and th great saving truths of the Gospel that is to be lotted in this .Basis of 'Union 'Wherever this statement differs from the Westminster confession of Faith 1 make bold to state that it is neare to the language and spirit than is th Westminster Confession itself. As said, we have not 'repudiated the past in any way, but have given new ex- pression to our common faith in a way that will be great gain to the cause of religion. "0 yes," some Anti -Union 'friend says, 'Ile Basis is all right but min isters in the United Church will no be required to subscribe to this Con- fession of Faith." No, but listen to this from the Bas, is Of'Union: "The duty of inquiry into the per- sonal character, doctrinal beliefs, and general fitness of candidates for the ministry recoinmend.ed by sessions, official boards or local ehurches,,shall be laid upon the Presbytery and:such inquiry shall, be repeated each year until they are recommendecj to the Conference for ordination." • The Presbytery is required to mak inquiry into the doctrinal beliefs o candidates for the ministry seve times during their period of prepara tion, and then: , 1. "The duty of final inquiry into the personal character, doctrinal be- liefs, and general fitness. of candidates for the ministry presenting themsel- ves 'for ordination or for reception as ministers of The United Church, shall be laid upon the Conference. .2 "These candidates shall be ex- amined on the Statement of Doctrine of The 'United. Church, and shah, be fore ordination, satisfy the examing body that they are in essential agree- ment therewith, and that as ministers of the Church they accept the state- ment as in substance' agreeable to the teaching of the Holy Sriptures." • I hold. in my hand a copy of the Westminster Confession of Faith in- cluding the form 'of Church Govern- ment drawn up by the Westminster Divines. This is what it says with re- ference to the ordination of ,ministers. "He that is to be ordained minister, must be duly qualified, bot,h for life and ministerial abilities, according to the rules of the aPostle. He is to, be examined and approved by those by• wherni he is to be ordain- ed. The BaSis of Union has gone back to the methods of the Westminster Divines, and that, 1 'believe is a more 'effective inethod. than the present All Churches • have found that formal subscription to ancient creeds doe' not secure orthodoxy, or save a chur- 0 e 1 ri t d c 4 practiced need, in this new Canadiad As these three peoples -Congregat- ionalists, ;Methodists and Presbyter ians, worked together in Canada, 1.00V came to know ..each other better and to recognize lit eacit other a commou sim-the costing of Christ' on earth. Their conception of the Church and of its ntission in the wor id was for all practical purposes the same, and they were doing ths sante work, in very much the sank' way, and just because of this they were continuously coming into con- toct, Especially was this true of the Presbyterian and Methodist churches, the two most aggressive and mission- ary and widely extended Churches in the land: Other Churches might or might not be found in a community but seldom was there lacking a Meth- odist and a Presbyterian Church. Two things were possible, growing rivalry and growing waste of the Lord's men and the Lord's money, or union, and as common sense Christians these Churches said, "In the Name of our common Master it shall be Union," The process of getting together and working out a Basis of Union follow- ed and ever since the Winnipeg Ap- sembly in 1916 Organic Union has been the declared policy and co-op- eration the practice of these Chur- ches. • Through the years that have followed they have trusted each oth- er, have largely eliminated dupl:cation and overlappinfg, and haVe worked ' together with the feeling that what, r -ever brought strength and enrichment to any one of these Churches was equally the strength and glory of the others. The results have been most, gratif3- ?.ng and umma mg. Take for in- stance the New Ontario section of the Synod of Toronto and Kingston. In a� that vast district rivalry, duplica- tion; and waste have been eliminated. There is not a place to which miss- ionaries are being sent and grants giv- en from more than one of these chur- ches. Everywhere are Union chur- ches of one type or another, with the result that So men have been saved. for .work in needy districts elsewhere, $25,000 a year has been saved to the Home Mission Funds of the Presby- terian Church and $25,000 a year to the funds of the Methodist Church, while at the same time more families are being reached, better work is be- ing done, and missionaries have a man's job as never before. • The same thing is taking place on even a larger scale in the Prairie pro- vinces, and all'in the faith of the Un- ion that is now being consummated., These first fruits of Union as a de- finite policy are prophetic of how great a day it will be for the Chris:- ian Church in Canada when the ac- tion taken by our supreme courts is final.br carried out and we .stand as one in the United Church of Canada. My recent visit to the West has convinced me beyond the possibility. of dQubt, that, in these vast sparsely settled areas where for generations there will not be people enough in any one district for more than one Congregation, the Community Chur is the only Christian solution -nay the only decent, the only possible so- lution' of the problem, and if the Cor rnunity Church is not to degenerate into a local self-centred Club and lose its spiritual life, it must have its place iti a 'United Church of Canada, with a national outlook and world- wide missionary interests. (To be Continued) M1 Spoke Against Church Union Rev. Dr. Perrie was in Owen Sound last week and addressed' a meeting in the Baptist Church in that city under the auspices of ,;the Women's League of the Presbyterian Church Associa- Lion, The Owen Sound Sun -Times has the following to say of Dr. Per- rie's address: "Rev, Dit Perrie, pastor of St. An - ch from radicalism. Among the mini- drews Church, Wingham, in his ad- dres8 in the defence of the Presbyter- ian Church spoke along similar lines. to Rev. Gilmour, He stated that the beliefs which the Presbyterian forefa- thers have lived under and which the people of today are living under should be handed, pure as they are, to the children. Should. the People of today give to their children some doc- trine which they are not familiar with. theinselveS. He ,stated very forcibly sters of our own Presbyterian Church today, unionist and anti -unionist, we have as a matter of fact every shade of belief ranging' from the most old fashioned orthodoxy and extreme fundamentalism to a modernism that many cannot distinguish from unitar- ianism. Yet all alike have so'Pemnly subscribed to the Westminster Con- fession of Faith. . The living Church must decide through personal conference whetl.,, that at present a uniform church was candidates are. it harmony with the not in demand at all. He said that, itt living faith of the Church, and can be accepted as recognized teachers of that faith. Them is no other way. Union to Meet a Practical Need Another reason why every Congre- gation should go into Union is that the United Church of Canada is the external union would do more harm than good and, that just now at least an internal union is impossible. He bellh'ved that a lasting union would be, a good thing but the way matters stand at present such a anion could not be made and he believed that un - result of an honest effort to meet iv ;waists realized that; fact and were great practical ilea The union now being effected ac- cords ,with the past,history, the con- fessed faith and the most cherished ideals of out Church arid is the out- ward expression of a ,Irowing spirit- ual unity, but the immediate occasio,? for the beginning of Union negotia- tions was the meeting of a grent •tr,.„;, now trying to forte union upon them. He finished with an appeal to those present to consider the matter very carefully. Many it -useful thing is a nuisance, wheit out ot place, said the professor pecla,tnically, as he removed the tack from, the seat of biS trousers.
