CHURCH UNION
The only a.n•lae way In which to
deal with a question such as chur eh
union 1s for those In favor of the union
to avoid boo much of this street and
shop discussion of the question. and
allow the official beards of the two
(elm! es to get together and die 'ties
t:.e pros and colts in a quiet and ami-
able manner, and try to come t,) a3
near an unanimous decision as it is
iteaeible. Titers is no law against the
diSeusulon of the natter on the street
or anywhere else, and It fa a proper
One for the people to discuss and de -
cede upon, and In time h will be derid-
ed by the congregations, but to a large
extent where two men or more from
different churches meet language la
often used that is hard to recall, and
that is very apt to cause hard feelings
that may result in the abandonment of
the project. Without doubt that kind of
taing was largely instrumental in pre-
venting these two churches from unit-
ir>.g many years ago when the oppor-
tunity was much more favorable than it
is now. a 1:
•
With the object In view of getting the
official 'boards together a meeting of
the board of James street church was
held oa Friday evening last, and after
aome discussion a resolution was draft -
eel, read and adopted and sent to hhe
official board of Main street church with
the desire that they would meet and
discuss the matter with a view to a un-
ion meeting of the boards for its con-
plderation. The board of Main Street
• church will, undoubtedly, receive the
,resolution in :rood spirit, and deride on
a union meeting.
Just stere is where trouble is apt to
arise. Scnu men assume a hostile
attitude unthinkingly, othera speak with-
out due consideration of what they are
about to ,say. Both of which should be
-avoided. Perhaps the people of the
larger congregation ate inclined to
think that the congregation of the other
church find the burden of keeping up
their church too difficult and that the
whole occasion for desiring union arises
from a desire on their part to have
their duty in maintaining it lessened.
Perhaps such is the case: perhaps it
le not ; and provided they do take that
stand it Is not necessarily an Improper
one. But if church union is desirable
and there Is little doubt that it 1s,
It should be the desire cf the uo,tgreg-
tition of the one church as well as of
tho other, and the board of the smaller
church should be stet in the most ami-
able and kindly manlier, In order to a-
void any attitude that might make the
Main street paople feel that they were
to any sense asking a favor of the sis-
ter Church.
Once the two boards and the two con-
gregations come tq the conclusion that
union is desirable, the difficult task
would be completed. Atter that the con-
gregations could remain as they are
unll'. a alto be chosen and a building
i'rected, or the union of the congrega-
tions could take place at the conclusion
Of the conference year, meeting In the
larger church after a redistribution of
seats, and the matter of building could
be considered at leisure.

An institution very much needed in

li:h:ntent for supplying Ice to the rest-
tler.ts. Other towns have an Ice supply
a: this kind and It seems to us an
undertaking of a like nature here by
the tight titan would be rewarded by
handsome profits and stent a long -felt
want in the town. There is a grand
ap. ting right here and now. Let gnome

In the Dominion Parliament tete pre-
mier last weak outlined the policy- for a
Canadian navy controlled by the parlla-
ntrut Mr. It. L. Horden„ opposition lea-
der, moved for a detect oontrtbutloe to
two Dreadnau;,ts, and Mr. Monk of
Quebec moved for a plebiscite on the
nutter. Considering the great interest
taken In the question, the diversified
opinions of the people regarding it, and
the seriousness of the matter to the
Canadian people, we believe that Mr.
Monk is on the right tack, but we are
afraid he will not get a ghost of a
'show.
It is a little tiresente to notice
that every thea a government supporter
in the Outarto Legislature has anything
to say regarding the improved condi-
Goes o' government in Ontario under tile
present administration some member of
the opposition has the audacity to say
teat It Is due to the foundations laid
by the previous ;:overmnent, when both
oartlea know that the condition of af-
fairs was ;frowing worse year by year
under the previous administration, and
everybody admits that the change was
o: great benefit to the Pr ovhnce.
No town will become a good business
centre so lone as its business mem rely
on a few mere:putts to mak. the effort
to brine trade to town. Too often the
mTn in a few lines of trade aretthe only
ones who reec't out for custom. Other
merchants wait untl these men induce
the people to caonu 10 town and content
t:'ent:trlvea with trade that naturally
drifts to their place. A public spirited
ntsn should ask himself If he Is doing
his part to attract people to town
to trade, thereby Itelpine the entire busi-
ness cotnnulnity. No town is a success
unless all lines are working to extend
the trade as far as possible, and to
brine a larger territory into the circle
o! which the town is the business centre

in Ontario's financial position to create
