A resolution was t en moved re the
Ne Temere Decree, • n insult to Protes-
tant citizens, whit was carried un-
animously. The foll.wing is the reso-
lution: .
"Whereas consid rable alarm has
been created throng • out the Dominion
of Canada by a rete t judgment in the
Province of Quebec ending legal sanc-
tion to the aiinullin of a marriage be-
tween two memb s •of the Roman
Catholic Church, s lemnized by one
authorized by the 5 ate to officiate at
marriages; and wh •eas legal sanction
is thus in a measur given to the posi-
tion of the Roma Catholic Church,
enunciated in the a Temere Decree of
Pius X. declaring that no marriage
ceremony perform d by a Protestant
minister between( parties either of
whom is, or has bcten, a member of the
Roman communio is a legal marriage;
and whereas art tie 127 of the civil
Code of the Provi ce of Quebec may be
used to support the aforesaid judg-
ment; therefore r solved that this an-
nual meeting of t e Wingham District
Methodist Church emphatically protest
against the above mentioned judgment
as an infringeme t on British Liberty,
an insult to the protestant citizens of
this country, and s being contrary to
the Christian ide I of marriage and in-
volving destrueti e consequences tet the
home life of the eopte. Furthermore,
this district mac g is of the opinion
that there should • e one uniform mar-
riage law provide. by Federal legisla-
tion for the whol Dominion."
