Mitig.ter of the Scotch Church in Can -
oda," and was dated, Bayfield, Lake
Huron, Western Canada, ,April 21st,
1876, The great church war of fifty
years ago is . still well rernembeved
by many of our older readers, and
the old pamphlet may be of interest,
especially at this time of church un-
rest in Canada:—
"If the persecution now raised, un-
der the Mowat Act, against the
Church of Scotland in Canada were
raised against Christians in Turkey,
Persje, or any other Mahomznedan or
heathen country, half the world
would hear of it, and public opinion,
Courts and Cabinets employed to put
it down. We of the Church of Scot-
land are the only religious body in
Her Majesty's wide Dominions who
are persecuted on account of our re-
ligion. Roman Catholics, Episcopal-
ians, Methodist, Baptists, Independ-
ents, Quakers, Moravians, Mahomme-
dans, Jews, Hindoos and Idolators of
every belief are permitted to worship
the Supreme Being according to the
dictates of conscience—the Church of
Scotland alone is placed ,under ban
and proscription, her people driven
from their own churches, their lawful
trustees and ministers debarred, un-
der the heaviest penalties, from using
said churches; these churches trans-
ferred to aliens, and her property to
the value of millions confiscated to
the use of those -who have no more
right to it than they have to the pal-
aces of the Grand Lhama—and all
this not under a foreign flag or in a
heathen land, but in a professedly
Christian Province of the British Em-
pire! The Legislatures of this Brit-
ish Dominion, no fewer than seven,
ave done their utmost to overthrow
and annihilate the Church of Scotland
and scatter her to the winds, care be-
ing taken to strip her first of every
vestige of her property. The war -
whoop raised against the Kirk has
sounded from Ontario to Nova Sco-
tia's shore, and been re-echoed back
by her treacherous sons from the
Atlantic to these shores of Lake Hur-
on. Foes to their country cry
"Havoc!" and let slip the dogs of
prey, and the base hounds—wolves
of the forest that have thrown off the
sheep's skin—now rend the fold which
gave them shelter, while the flock
scattered to the woods and wilds, and
stripped of every comfort, are treat-
ed as the offscouring of all things
having no rights which the law is
bound to respect!
Never has a more unjust and heart-
less persecution been inaugurated
than that now raised against our Kirk
in Canada—never before did such
"Leagued Oppression" compass the
destruction of a church as when back-
ed by such traitors, the whole power
of seven Legislatures was exerted to
crush our church—before every tri-
bunal in Canada did her traitor -sons
drag, as a malefactor, the innocent
Church of Scotland, to receive her
death blow -houtisrg - to the rabble
"Persecute and take her, only let us
share in the spoils!" What is the
secret of this movem int? Conspir-
acy? an ill -disguised plot with a
party in power (Grits) to lead into
rebellion a preliminary to which must
be the destruction of British institu-
tions and British national feeling?
For this were British troops removed
out of the country to the dismay of
British subjects, and the way cleared
for the advance of the enemy; and
year by year new encroachments
made on our liberties till the late
creation of a Supreme Court debar-
ring an appeal to the Privy Council in
England has struck a fatal blow at
our rights as British subjects, and
opened onr eyes to the danger which
surrounds us? Whatever the move-
ment points to, evidently there is to
be an attack on our institutions, and
first of all the loyal Church of Scot-
land, which stands in their way, must
be swept aside. How stealthily this
has been attempted by our foes I need
not describe—how, instead of desig-
nating their Acts by their proper

quiet oar fear and whispeered, ,
"You'll still be the Church of Scot-
land!"—how the moment the fatal
Bills pasaed (without even being
read!) they raised a shout pf triumph
and cried, "you're sold! you're sold!"
Yes; -indeed, sold into' captivity! as
Joseph was sold by his brethren so
the good Kirk was sold into the
hands of her spoilers by her own
sons! Now bound in captive chains
she lies desolate her lamentations
heard all along the dark banks of the
St. Lawrence, where, like captive Is-
rael, we may now hang our harps on
the willows and weep for our beloved
Zion!
Alas! for the beauty of Israel! how
is the mighty fallen! how doth the
city sit solitary that was full of peo-
ple! all her friends have dealt treach-
erously with 'her, they are become
her enemies! How is the gold be-
come dim! How beautiful was our
beloved Zion! but yesterday she was
the joy and env of the whole land!
so flourishing and prosperous, her
!people so happy and contented, each
"sitting under his vine and fig tree."
What a blessing she has been to Can-
ada for generations, and how mani-
fold her claim, to her regard! How
many good people have I met in this
country who told me they were in-
debted for all their spiritual blessings
to the good Scotch ministers who long
ago had christened them, given them
Bibles, and pireached to them Jesus.
How many a "wilderness and solitary
place" was made glad by the Scotch
ministers who scattered around the
blessings of religion and, knowledge --
now all is changed. Our Holy Place
is desolated—Edomites and Babylon-
ians—unhallowed union—have laid
her in ruins! Of nearly two hundred
churches in which the Gospel was
preached in all its purity to the peo-
ple of Canada, all but a few have
been seized by a new sect, the propa-
gators of unsound doctrine.
.Our calamities are indeed indescrib-
able. Exactly as I foresaw from the
commencement of the Union plot, so
have events turned out. Ever since
the obnoxious Acts came into force
we have heard of nothing over Can-
ada but the seizing and sacking of
Scotch Churches, the , smashing of
doors and locks, andnthe occupancy of
the sacred edifices by gangs of ruf-
' flans and licensed freebooters who
even to the blessed Sabbath took pos-
session of the same by brute force,
While too frequently the rightful
owners, who, out of their hard won
earnings, and often amid great hard-
ships and privations to themeslves•and
families, reared the sacred buildings
in the.eaely settlemept of .the,,Colony,
were driven out of then, by those who
neverpaid a cent towards their erec-
tion! What are the persecuted
Church of Scotland people to do?
The old settlers cannot begin anew,
with the vigor of other days, to build
new :churches. They haven't the
means to do so; . and even if they did
the oppressive Acte empowering a
Unionist, or rather communist rabble,
to seize at any future time any
Scotch Churches, would soon depi+ve
them of these also. Driven from their
own Churches some are now worship-
ping in wooden barns and log houses,
some in public halls, anch come under
the shelter of the forest, many now
going nowhere, and others, despairing
of obtaining justice in Canada, pre-
paring to leave for a country where
they can worship God in freedom.
The entire property of the Church
of Scotland, real and personal, to -the
value of millions was, on the 15th of
June, 187+5, confiscated to the use of a
new and hostile sect, her temporali-
ties parted among strangers, her
churches, manses, and lands, and her
very Colleges held by the same, and
even her ,Widows and Orphans de-
prived and robbed of their rightful
funds by the same locust army of
Unionists. Funds, donations and
grants, property of every description
from Imperial gifts down to the last
dollar of the hard workingmen's col-
lections every green leaf, is devoured
by the Union legion of grasshoppers!
The horse leaches still cry "give,
give!"—and there is no satisfying
their voracious maw. But the Con-
fiscation Acts affect not us merely,
but the whole community. The pub-
lic now see that there is no security
for property in Canada, for they who
could twist the small term in the
Confederation Act giving power to
legislate on property to the terrible
meaning of wholesale confiscation of
it, can interpret any other word in
it as it pleases them, and confiscate
property of every kind and tyrannize
over people's consciences too, and
Britain will never hear of it! But
not only is the Church of Scotland
robbed and plundered, she is insulted
at the same time. In case her con-
gregations remain true to her they
must undergo the humiliation of vot-
ing on the subject, her sworn foes
being empowered to vote along with
them! And unless they submit to
this horrible degradation of voting on
the vital question of their very exist-
ence they are, in sitz months, (accord-
ing to the Mowat Government) not
only .stripped of every vestige of pro-
perty, but also themselves regarded
as Unionists in the eye of the law!
Atrocious degradation! Why the
Motvvat Government had quite as much
right on the said 15th of June to con-
fiscate our 'property to the use of
Catholics, Episcopalians, or Mahem-
medans, or Mormons, and enact that
all the ministers of the Chure'h of
Scotland would henceforth be includ-
ed in one or other of these sects un-
less by some humiliating process of
voting they declared themselves out
of such sects! Yes! the time-honor-
ed Church of Scotland is insulted by
her people being even asked to vote
whether they would retain their own
not! All her members are insulted
by such a proposal. It is the same
thing as if the children of a beloved
,ri,other were tempted to leave her—
as if they were asked vehether they
would be dutiful or undutiful to her= -
whether they wool retain their own
mother; or take a strange woman!

love. 'and veneration for our beloved
M;otlhe'r Church.
It was, indeed, a fiery trial; yet not
to lose their churches, and have old
and young deprived of -the benefits of
a publl% ministry in connection with
the Church of Scotland, many congre-
gations, in terms of the tyrannical
Acts, submitted to the revolting meas-
ure of voting whether they would be
true to their Kirk or betray her?.How
the beams of our brave countrymen
heaved with indignant sorrow at being
reduced to this degrading step; and
how the heart of Scotland will heave
with indignant wrath when she hears
of it, I need not describe. And hogs
did our Church stand the fiery ordeal'?
In her long and glorious history she
has passed through many trials, but
this was the most degrading; It will
be scarcely credited out of Canada
that one,of a majority of her oppon-
ents, though obtained by bribery,
could decide the fate of her property
—to obtain which every species of
corruption, false oaths, falsehood and
violence was employed by the Union-
ists, under -whose threats many un-.
thinking people were driven like cattle
into tbe. Union, part believing they
would still be the Church of Scotland
and part they would be the Free
Church! .To secure the vote on their
side, :and. -.prevent it on ours, every
disgraceful low trick was practicedby
the 'Union men. Waren the vote went
in their .favor it was all right, when
in oursit'wes all wrong! and lawsuits
immediately entered against us!
Everything we did was objected to.
If female communicants' votes were
taken, it was pronounced illegal if
only majO. otes, it was the sante thing.
In short; -the Unionists boasted they
were baacked by the Legislatures, and
whatever 'they did, however wrong,
vvglw��lri be ;declared by the Law Courts
to hefriglitt and that whatever we did,
'hough •piefectly fair, would be pro-
aein cel elegal, for the party in pow-
er' (Grit's), Were determined to destroy
the Chux+ciri: of Scotland, and extermin-
ate Eri'1ish'national feeling in Canada.
.Timet%s not permit me to dwell on
all the eases of oppression endured by
oureghttrejo over the length and . the

driven out of their own churches, and

land at the desolation of our beloved
Zion. In some cases -the Union sect,
ere it was one mpnth old, acted the
tyrant and oppressor towards the
venerable Church of Scotland. Wit-
ness the cases of Montreal, Lachine,
Beechbridge, Glengarry, Beauharnois,
"Dundee, Lancaster, Lochial, Williams-
town, Williamsburg, Osnabruck,Perth,
Ottawa, HaWkesbnry, Scarboro, West
;King, Thorah, tHlaamiiton, Galt, Milton,
Binbrook, Anteater, Woodstock, West-

Bayfield and- Many other places where
there was a majority for the Church
of Scotland, and especially the cases
of Montreal, London, Paisley and oth-
ers where there were overwhelming
majorities for`lier, and in such cases
as Lachine, • Beechbridge, Lancaster,
Milton, where they were unanimous
for her—still in all these cases, the
Union Presbyteries did their utmost
to deprive the Kirk of what even the
wretched Acts allowed her—either
breaking up the Scotch meetings by
brute force, or straining every quibble
of law to nulify 'their vote. Thus,
even when our Churches submitted to
vote and had the vote in their favor,
they were often doomed to disappoint-
ment—the law being a mockery, it
came to the same thing, as if they
had disregarded it altogether.

(Continued next week.)
London and Bayfield are, perhaps,
the most glaring instances of the op-
pression under wbich our Church now
groans. In the former the Scotch
Chureh, by an overwhelming major-
ity decided three times to remain
true to the Kirk of Scotland, and ev-
en by the oppressive Mlowat. Act was
therefore, entitled to hold its proper-
ty. What follows? The persecuting
Unionists raise a Chancery suit a-
gainst the congregation, expensive
litigations are carried on in order to
ruin it, and a Chancellor's decision at
last expels from their own Church
the whole Scotch congregation—in-
terdicts the trustees under penalties
of forty -thousand dollars ($40,000),
or ten thousand dollars each, from
using the building for behoof of said
Scotch congregation, and lastly de-
bars the Scotch minister, lawfully
appointed, to preach in it, from
preaching again the Gospel of Christ
in said Scotch Church to the said
Scottish audience under another pen-
alty of ten thousand dollars, or fifty
thousand dollars in all! Most infam-
ous. oppression! Has Bismarrk, the
tyrant oppressor of Christians in
Prussia, come to Canada? Has the
spirit of the great German Chancel-
lor passed .intothe small Canadian
one? Fifty thousand dollars' penal-
ties against inoffensive Scottish
Christians for promulgating the Gos-
pel in their own Scotch Church!!!
