wheat is less by 45,608,000 bushels, oats
.by 70.219,000 bushels and barley by 16,-

23,219,000 bushels and of barley 625,000
bushels- The loss in the western pro-
vinces, exclusive, of British Columbia,
is a result of the great drouth of July,

PRESBYTERIAN.
Doctrine of the Real Spiritual Pre-
selce in the Eucharist Affirmed.
Montreal. Despatch.—At the quartetrly
meeting of the Montreal Presbytery,
held at Knox Church, a resolution was
passed, after a brief discussion on the
probable effect of the recent eucharistic
congresssetting forth the reformed pos-
ition with regard to the Presence. the
resolution affirming the real spiritual
presence of the Saviour in the holy cu-
char•ist, but disagreeing with the view
of the Roman Catholic Clench as to the
actual bodily presence. The resolution
was in two parts, the second of which
acknowledged that the Catholic Church
accomplishes 'a great work in uplifting
the morals of the people.
Rev. Dr. Amaron. of Joliette, con-
vener of the Presbytery's French even
gelization committee, said that there
were reasons for him to be glad that
the Church of home had chosen Mont-
real as the meeting place of the eucha-
ristic congress. Everyone would now
realize the necessity and advisability
of the work. The Roman Catholic
Church, he declared, saw France, Italy
and Spain slipping out of her grasp,
and had resolved to make this province
her stronghold.

SPAIN'S STRUOLE
Premier Determined to Carry Out
His Programme of Reform,
The Vatican Must Take the Conse-
quences of the Opposition,
London, Sept. 10.—In an inteerview
with the Madrid correspondent of the
Telegraph, Prime Minister Canalejas
claimed that the entire world of cul-
ture and' progress had expressed its
sympathy with Spain ,end welcomed
her into the ranks of progressive na-
tion. In this was the justification
of the Government, which would re-
alize progress without a general strike
or civil war. The latter was a bogey in
which no Spanish politician believed. The
Government had an overwhelming ma-
jority in the country, and, therefore, ho
could say that the status quo was doom-
ed. The Premier added: "Come what
may, that shall go. Personally, I have
resolved to combat it."
"The question of the religious con-
gregations shall be dealt with first.
They cannot possibly be allowed to
continue to play the important part in
public life without public responsibility
or control which they are playing to -
clay. I say nothing against them as re-
ligious communities. I am ready to ad-
mit they have served useful functions in
other spheres also, but their fitness for
administering the requirements of the
present or future has vanished. Yet
their activity knows no limits. They
constitute an absoulte institution in a
limited monarchy. This anomaly must
be done away with. Every institution,
even the Icing, has well-defined limits.
The congregations alone are absolute
and irresponsible, wielding a social in-
fluence incompatible with the interests
of the State. They powerfully affect
the intellectual and moral nature of the
ruction, more powerfully than the State
can permit. Society is now ripe for the
transition of this mediaeval condition.
T hold that the state, being supreme, can
accomplish this with no more ado, but it
is most desirous to treat with the Vati-
can with the view to reducing friction to
the minimum. If the Vatican deelince
to co-operate responsibility for the con-
sequences will not be mine.
"We must fix the limits of the
power of the congregations of a.cquir-
ine property and establish forms for fa-
eiliitating State control. Moreover, we
cannot allow the Catholic or other reli-
gious bodies to edneaite the; nation. It
is not the function of any religious
body."
A SAD CASE.
Rejected by the Hospitals, Near Death
on Kitchen Floor,
Winnipeg, Man., Sept. 19.—A man in
an advanced stage of tuberculosis was
found to -day lying on the floor of a
kiterien In this city by the district
nurse of the Anti -Tuberculosis Soci-
ety. The people who rented the house
did not want him there, for he had no
claim on them. The hospitals would
not take Li :r in because they had no
room in the male tuberculosis wards.
The nurse discovered the poor outcast
and hastened to bring clean sheets for
him to lie upon. The landlady thought
the introduction of fresh linen looked as
if the sick roan were going to remain
permanently and she threatened to move
out and leave him alone if he were not
removed. This tale of human suffering
excited the indignation of the board of
the Women's Auxiliary of the Anti -Tu-
berculosis Society at the meeting held in
the 'Medical Library. Mrs. McMeans ex-
preseed the sentiment of all when she
stated that something must be wrong
with the civic management when a hu-
man being in a city of this size should
find it impossible to get a bed to' lie
upon in a hospital or any place else. The
nurse replied that she heel to face con-
ditions of this kind frequently. The
board deeided unanimously that the
nurse be empowered to draw upon the
treasurer for the amount necessary to
r.a'iure the man a clean room and a bel
