PERSONALS.

The joint boards of the Methodist
Church will meet on Monday evening,
March 6th, after the prayer meeting,
to record their votes on the question of
Church union and to arrange for taking
the vote of the congregation on the
same question.
At a meeting of the Session of St.
Andrews' Presbyterian Church on Mon-
day evening, the votes recently cast by
the congregation on the question of
church union were counted and the
result of the vote was as follows: Ses-
sion -9 for, 3 against; communicants -
78 ftr, 215 against; adherents -6 for,
41 against. The total vote was 90 for
and 259 against. There are 413 com-
municants in the congregation and of
this number 293 voted on the question.
SOOTHING MIXTURES.
DANGEROUS TO CHILDREN.
At the induction services in Tees
water where Rev. Mr. Bradley was in-
ducted as pastor of the Presbyterian
Church in that place, Rev. D. Perrie,
pastor of St. Andrew's Church, Wing -
ham, who was the Moderator of the
charge, was presented with a well-
filled purse of gold by the members. of
the Teeswater congregation. • Some
years ago Mr. Perrie was Moderator
for the same congregation and at that
time he was also presented with a
purse of gold.
If the vote up to Feb. 20 by the Pres-
byterian congregations and the quar-
terly official boards of the Methodist
churches throughout the Dominion, is
typical of the vote to come, church un-
ion on the present proposed basis ..will
be carried by 5 to 1. Nineteen Presby-
terian churches have voted, casting
3,346 ballots in favor of amalgamation,
and only 750 against, which is 4.78 to 1
for union. The official boards of the
the Methodist churches have cast 828
votes in favor and only 142 against,
which is 5.8 to 1 for union.
The question of Church Union, which
is engrossing so much of the attention.
of church people now -a -days, will be
the subject of two addresses next Sun-
day evening in Wingham Methodist
Church. Mr. John Kerr, who is a con-
vinced and enthusiastie supporter of
the proposed union, will present that
phase of tine question, and Mr. Theo.
Hall, of the Advance, who is of the
opinion that the Union would not be in
the best interests of the Kingdom of
God from that point of view. As the
pastor is very anxious that his congre-
gation should be prepared to give an
intelligent vote on the question, he
hopes that as far as possible, all mem-
bers and adherents will try to be pres-
ent next Sunday evening.

THE HEBERT JUDGMENT.
In a carefully prepared fifty-five page
document, Mr. Justice Charbonneau on
Thursday morning rendered his judg-
ment in the famous Hebert marriage
case. His Lordship's findings are in
short as follows: -
1. That the marriage ceremony per-
formed by Rev. Wm. Timberlake,
Methodist clergyman, between Emma
, b
Maria Clouatre and Eugene Hebert on
July 14. 1008, is valid and their chil-
dren legitimate.
2. That the annulment of the mar-
riage by the Roman Catholic Church
authorities on Nov. 12, 1909, is null and
void.
3. That Mr. Justice Laurendeau
erred when on Mareh 23, 1911,.he gave
civil sanction to the decree of the
church annulling the marriage.
4. That the Ne Temere decree is of
no force as far as the civil law of Que-
bec, with reference to marriage is.
concerned,
From which it will be seen that the
judgment is a most sweeping one, and
bears out the many contentions voiced
in Ontario, to the effect that the Ne
Temere decree is of no more force in
Quebee than it is in Ontario, as far as
the civil legality of marriageis eon-
g y
corned.
Hebert was married under a license
granted under the seal of the l ieu-
tenarit-Governor of Quebec, and his
lordship holds that such marriages are
legal, itrispective of the religious per-
suasions of the contracting parties, as,
long as the officiating clergyman is .a
duly authorised one.
Mr. Justice Charbonneau's judgment
'
in no way way h affects the church's i1 at-
titude, as far as it is concerned the
patties are free to marry again.
L. J. Lefebvre, counsel for Hebert,
will enter an appeal. He is acting for
Hebert alone, and as yet, it is }lot
known if the church Will appeal the
judgment or not.
