-Statii-la itSelf. a "1:01tiall,Vree" State;
ert In other Words, a State of British
free naticins. These nations are situ-
ated the world over and are known to
the world as the one thing 'in the
world end as that very thing that
stands for Christianity and its work-
ing out in an ungodly world. Now
and if that thing the Presbyterian
Church asserts itself and assumes to
suporcede the British State, it.. must,
to be consistent with itself, be able to
take the place of that State, and that,
in the matter of law as well as in
the matter of love, and in playing this
role the chureh would certainly have
to appear as being more just. than
generous. For instance, to give a
conerete ease in point: They say we
are married by the Church, but I say
that if we were married by the State,
it would be a very different knot they
would tie and we would no doubt stay
longer married. Love seems to be
the motive power in the sphere of
church. Love is but a fulfilling of
the law, however. It is not the law
itself; law it the motive power in the
State. Now I say, if the Presby-
terian Church wants to assume the
management of law in a British cop -
t , it will have to assume a bigier
i*oposition than it has On its hands
at the present time. It has got to
assnme the management of law and
order in an ungodly world as well as
in the Presbyterian world. The Brit-
ish State goes you a heat one better
and assumes to legislate for all and
we are nearly all conceded in the fact
that it is accomplishing its purpose
fairly well. Let well enough alone.
The individual or Church who is sel-
fish and has respect only for them-
selyes; has do nn well, but a State who
is Ainsilfish ilVal hat time to -help ev-
erybody, is doing magnificently bet-
ter.
• We live in our present form as a
n .
Britash free country in the sphere of
law and net in the sphere of the law
of love. We will no doubt live in
that sphere in the hereafter but in
the heretofore and in the here we still
live under law. It will be quite time
enough to live in that other sphere
when we get there. For the present
then, what is the Status of the Pres-
byterian Church? I say it is a sta-
tus given to jt by the State, such
only as the State can give, such only
as could be given in the time o
James VI of Scotland and the Firs
of England, that of a subordinate in
stitution. The British State is high
in this world trick and it is well for
US all that it is so. It will never
eeme to be in the hereafter anything
else—at least for 1000 years to come
After that the Presbyterian Church
if it can hold on,smay be high.
When 3ift_., Scott attempted to try
and establish the fact of a Presby-
terian Church or any other institu-
tion doing or saying what they please
at all times, haphazard in the Britin
State he has failed, absolutely, abso-
lutely, Mr. Gallager. This establish
rnent of his only amounts to son/me
imagination coming out of, -the bac
of his head instead of calming froni
the front of his head where from al
good things ought to come. The
Eng-
lish are a dominant people. Their in
stitution have survived many an a
tack down through time. The
Eng-
lish language still stands high. I
is not much use people's recessive i
tendency pretending to dictate policy
either in Christian political ethics o
in 'affairs spiritual, to a dominan
race such as the English.

hraim Scott as he really is, that his
name would .read Sir Ephraim Scott,
the Statesman. •The State would
then recognize hint as a real benefac-
tor of the race and place him accord-
ingly. But he prefers plain Ephraim
Scott—the Scot, so that we will have
to deal with him and his sbatements
as they are and not deal with him and
them as they ought to:he dealt with.
The Moderator a the 03resbyterian
Church in Canada, in the article in
hand, deals with three stubborn Scot
acts about .the Presbyterian Church
in Canada. He mentions them in the
order no doubt he deems meritorious.
from my viewpoint and for my pur-
pose in this letter, I shall proceed to
dee]. with them in the reverse order,
taking the last or third fact, first.
The Presbyterian Church in Canada
is illegal in that it assumes a status
within a British free nation arrogn-
ant to that nation. Anyone knows,
wild knows at all that that is a fact.
Scott, of Montreal, in trying to es-
tablish the legality of the status of
the Presbyterian Church in the world
has failed absolutely, absolutely Mr.
Gallagar. His so called feet only
amounts to so much fiction, alongside
of a real fact. Anyone knows who
knows at all, the difference between
feet and fiction. Fact is fact and fie-
tion is fiction. Fiction is theory, but
fact is not theory. Good Scotsmen
are conceded in the fact of the Pres-
byterian Church being local to the
State as are also good Irishmen, but
some poor sports of both those peo-
.,
pies are still irreconcilible but the
sooner they harmonize and unite with
others who know more, the better fer
us ala. Scott, the Scot, Scott the ir-
reconcilible belongs to this latter
class. The Presbyterian church as-
sumea -in its present status a -sort of
sovereignty over the nation tcil do
and say what itpleases whether for
. the weal or woe of the nation.. In
war as well as peace, in land settle-
merits or spiritual affairs, that thing
a British eseee canna seena far nes-
will never come to stand for until
such time comes as it grants the
church that privilege. I
How old is the British State -1926
years p/d? How old is Presbyterian
Church—it dates back to the time of
the reign of Henry, the reformation
man, sbrae four hundred years ago,
whence many poor things come, most
, of theni utterly obsolete to our day
and generation and should be done
, away or absorbed in the new.system
; of things as we find them in the
present day. So much, so good.
. Scott Fact Two. This is largely
. set aside by my answer to the first.
To waive th roy-alty might not nee-
; essarily mean tohonor laws of states-
1 men of a British country whom they
, represen .
t So that I conclude that
• when JaW is dishonored, royalty con-
; sequentlY meets the same fate. The
Presbyterian Chutch is therefore dis-
; lcyal. '
r The Presbyterian Church in Canada
we never an entirely free institution
. in the State of Great Britain even
l before the 10th of June last, nor is
r it as yet any more so. It will more-
over never come to be while it con-
i tinues to exist in the sphere of law
) or tinder tbe British State. Presby-
terians and Anglicans should lutve
, come together on a oneness of doc-
) trine and policy for their people in
1 the gpiritual sphere at the time the
- Crolvns of Scotland arid England were
I united in the time of James VI of
i Scotland and First of Eitgland and
; purposely aVoided all this clash of
t doctrine and policy going the rounds
, of the press te-day. They should
- have been conceded on some matter
3 of policy religiously, speaking, ,that

with about 30 ladies in attendance.
After the usual opening exercises,
Mrs. Brown spoke on the topic a ,
"Prayer in the Strategy of Missions.
The speaker stressed particuIerly that
the need of the mission field to -day is
not more men, nor more money, so
much as more systematic, intercessory
prayer on the part of the people at
home. She showed how that prayer
runs like a golden thread through
the story of Evangelism in England,
Germany and other countries. The
success of the missionary enterprise
is depending on us, as the Master
said, "The harvest truly is plentiful,
so pray," and He is able to do far
more than we can ask or think. The
only condition to answered prayer is
that we ask in His name. The cur -
rent events were given by Mrs. P. B.
Gardiner, who told of the life of the
missionaries by a story entitled, "On
the Edge of the Jungle." She also
gave a review of the journeyings of
Dr. John R. Mott. At the close of

Horticultural Society.—Mrs. An-
rew Scott won the Secretary's prize
f a rose bush by handing in her
pring order first. The co-operation
f the members, however,was splen -
id. All orders were in by the 10th
and were duly despatched. The op -
ions were given merely as a guid-
ace in grouping, but were used by
practically all, although some mem-
bers aranged to take, as their prem-
iums, stock not printed on the prem-
um list, according to agreement. The
embership is steadily growing and
t is well to get your name in in good
ime as there will be benefits for the
embers from time to time as fin-
nces permit. The Secretary has sent

chair and read the scripture reading
fro -m Timothy. Mr. John McIntosh

ginning and the rapid growth of mis-
sionary work in Japan. He also des-
cribed the terrible hardships of the

benediction. Every member of the

tainly enjoyed a real musieal treat,

portunity of hearing in rural distriet&
