Exeter Advocate, 1908-07-02, Page 4exact! Abtio ate,1 Sanders at Creech, Props. THURSDAY, .1n13 2, 1908 An Opinion on Church t awn. Mack in Saturday night Saye: Last week we had both the Metho- dist Conference and the Anglican Sy- nod sitting in Toronto, and as one sat in his home in the evening reading the repels of the proceedings of these two bodies one could not fail to reflect that there is small hope of bringing into one body two classes of people so wholly at v.,riance as these. There is talk of church union, but very little probability that it will conte about. %%hen a roan within a month attends Sunday services in Anglican, Presby- terian, Methodist and Baptist church- es, he comes to the conclusion that while he has discovered mighty little difference in the doctrines put forth in the various sermons he has listened to—has, in fact, heard very little doc- trine preached --yet he has been made conscious of other differences that would prove to be serious obstacles in the way of church union. These other differences are, as a rule, overlooked in the discussion of this subject. The Anglicans with their ritual, ceremon- ial and specialization in music are a people apart. Leaving doctrine out of tt altogether, the rector and the par- son could dispute endlessly on matters of conduct and opinion, from smoking to pronunciation—they see life from angles so hopelessly at variance. While they could possibly agree suffi- ciently on points of doctrine to enable them to exchange pulpits. this would not make possible an exchange of par- ishes. When the enquirer Into the practicability of churcie union hears a sermon furious against dancing in a Methodist church, and next evening plays a game of whist with the rector of the Anglican or the pastor of the Presbyterian church; or when he hears smoking denounced by the one, and - sees it practised by the other; or when he sees a revival meeting in full pro- grees in one church, while in another the minister expresses his disapproval of all such emotionalism—one begins to understand that aside altogether from questions of doctrine there are differences between the people of the various denominations which could not be reconciled. The regulation of personal conduct in the Methodist church; the refusal of the members in other bodies to submit to such law- giving—would alone be an obstacle to union which no ingenuity could get around. In fact it is highly probable that we need several denominations, and that one could not possibly answer all pur- poses. We need one church for those who want dancing, smoking. and the use of intoxicants strictly forbidden; we need another for those who would not submit to dictation in these mat- ters. We need one church holding re- vivals and drawing under its influence those who could not otherwise be reached; and we need another church for those with whom religion is not emotional. but for whom everything must be reasoned out with logical nic- ety. I will not say that we need a State church, but we need one for those who deem it absolutely necess- ary to sever church and State. In short, it seems evident that were all the denominations merged in one, the people would not be long in find- ing the arrangement so unsatisfactory that new sects would he organized right and left, each bearing off some fragment of doctrine and insisting up- on certain standards of conduct. NOTE AND COMMENTS The death of Grover Cleveland the last Democratic President of the trait - ed States last week removed th • man of the strongest personality since Lin- coln. He was forceful, courageous and self-controlled to a great degree. He was president from iSS1.1834 and from 1892 -1890. Local option beer is said to be the latest triumph of the inventor and manufacturer. The breweries can now make a beer so much like the old that the drinker even cannot detect the difference. The only difference is the ametint of alcohol contained. Common beer has 3 per cent. alcohol, the new Neer 1.00 per cent., which be- ing less than 2 per cent, allows it to be sold as a temperance drink. The "dry", town, are said to he vet v inter- ested in the "jagless" beer. Son Wounds Father. A family row occurred at ('Iande. boye on Saturday morning, in which Harold Bice, a 17-yeelr•oId lad, is al- leged to have inflicted a wound on his father, Eli Bice. who at once laid an information against bis son. For some time, it appears, there has been trouble between Bice and hiseon, Harold, the Lather accusing the boy of being lazy and not doing his share of work. On this ground he ordered his son away from the house on Saturday, hut the boy refu+ed to go. This Ilii to a dispute. ending in a scuffle in which the father was wounded in the arm, it is said. Whether this wound was inflicted with any intent to do harm is not known. nor is it certain that a knife was used. The wound was inflicted with some weap,n, however, it is claimed, and wits of such a serious nat- ure as to require the a sre of A physi• clan. No serious ret'itts are feared from the hurt. Bice hal "ince been captured atOtid• erich by Constable, Gundry and Hisr- ett and was lodged in the jsil on Tues- day evening. Winchelsea Int•n.l.d for 1st neek Mrs. E.

To Maros Fruit Growers. The next provincial exhibition will be held in Toronto early in November. Last year the connty made a grant of $20 for prizes to county exhibitors and $50 for expenses in making the exhib- it. The county of Huron exhibit oc- cupied a table 4 tt. x 30 ft. and was very favorably commented on by many leading newspapers and fruit growers. A full report of the exhibit was made to the county council show- ing the disbursement of the money. and names of some 150 parties from different parts of the county who con- tributed fruit for the exhibit. The council were so pleased with the re- sult last year that a similar grant is made this year. If fruit growers in this county take an interest in this ex- bibition the fruit production of this county can he shown to he sec- ond to that in no part of the province. Outside the county exhibit we should complete in the provincial classes. Anyone can secure prize lists and information respecting the county exhibit by writing to W. Lane, secre- tary Goderich Horticultural Society.
