Favors Union of Churches in Course of Time. •.••••••••0,..... Foreign Mission Addresses -Financlal Affairs, Edmonton, June 9. -The large cointnittee appointed by the General As- sembly ,on Thursday to take up the union question arrived at a unanim- ous decision last night, .A. series of resolutions was prepared and these will be submitted to the assembly to- morrow afternoon. This large com- mittee was composed Of Men of all shades of opinion, including those who were most strongly opposed to the Change. The series of resolutions will not be matio public until rney are submitted to the assembly. it is known, how- ever, that in their practical effect they will be identical with the series of strong union resolutions presented by tile Union Committee on Wednes- day night. Tbe only change is in the preamble, the instructions being the same. The attitude of the committee is that, while there will be some losses when, the union is consum- mated, the amount of the loss will bo greatly lessened if time is given for persuasion and consideration. They therefore wish to take time, and in the meantime arrange for co-opera- tion in all departments of work, a co- operation which will gradually be- come closer, until full organic union ie reached. The etory of the manner in which the present assembly has dealt with union may be told in a few words. in March the Union Committee met in Toronto and prepared a resolution to be presented to the assembly favoring organic union. This was so worded as to give rise to the idea that the committee was not abso- lutely committed to the cause. The members of the committee have said that it was their intention to issue a statement watch would leave no one in doubt, but some doubt did exist. In order that there might be no question on this point in the assembly, the committee was called together on Wednesday night, and a new resolu- tion was prepared, tnating in the most definite terms the intention of the committee in the matter. This state- ment was submitted to the assembly on Thursday .merning, the intention being that it should ecome the find- ing of the body. Dr. Campbell, of Montreal, took exception to the hold- ing of a Meeting of the committee in Edmonton, and Principal Mackay, of Vancouver, moved that a large com- mittee be named to take the whole matter under advisement. Both Dr. Campbell and Principal Mackay have been, consistently opposed to , union from the beginning. Their suggestion was, however, accepted, and the com- mittee was appointed on Thursday morning. This committee met on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, and late Saturday night ar- rived at a unanimous decision, a resolution being finally introduced which was satisfactory to all. This resolution will be laid before the as- sembly to -morrow afternoon, and will without doubt be received and adopt- ed. Rev. )Jr. .T. Clarke, of the West - mount Presbyterian Church, Montreal, will mave the adoption of the report, and it will be seconded by Principal Itiannay. The circumstance that the assemb- ly is slowly dealing with the church union issue does not warrant the in- ference that the opposition to the cause is numerically strong in the ca,urt. No vote will be taken this year to show what the actual strength cf the opposition is. The estiznates made here range from five per cent. to twenty per cent. It is recognized that when the final step in union is taken, there will be an element which cannot be reconciled to the new or- der and will continue to use the old form, Just as individual Presbyterian congeegations did in 1875. It is be- lieved, however, that much of the op- position will disappear when the ex- periment of genuine co-operation is tried ad that the final toss of con- gregations still ile small. J. K. Maceonaid, es Toronto, is one of the well-known elders of the church, who has stated that the over- whelming vote of the three churches has led him to reconsider the ques- tion in his own mind.

THE CrCONTEST Taft Wins Another Bout in in Presidential Fight. .••• •••••••••••••••••• Chicago, June 10, -Postponement of the hearing of the contestin the fourth California district this morn- ing brought to high intensity the heat- ed conflict between the Taft and Roosevelt factions in the Republican National convention.

While no official order will issue as to the use of the Jack, it is taken for granted that the various Governments, Federal, provincial and municipal, will obey the order and provide themselves with Jacks forthwith for use on all cere- monial occasions. It will be interesting to note what will become of all the red ensigns, hundreds of thousands of which are wattered all over the country. They cannot, be used on ships because there are not enough ships to go around. They cannot be used. on public build- ings without disregarding the express wishes of the British Government, hut they can still be used for decoration purposes.

Committee is Instructed to • Continue Its Work. Montreal Report -Church union was cordially endorsed by the Congregation- al Church Union to -day. Statietics were preeeeted, showing that S2 per cent. of the members of the Congregational Church in Canada, were in favor of un- ion, and, after some discussion, it was unanimously deeided to recommend that the Committee on Church Union be in- etructed to continue its work and to co-operate an far as possible with sim- ilar committees among the other chunk, es. In addition to Church union, the day was hugely devoted to discuesiona on the better training of ministers, the need for more and better men to man the churches, and the impera- tire neeeesity of arousing Christian parents in order that they might lay the claims of the Christian ministry be- fore their sons. The report of the Church Union Committee was presented by Rev. Dr, W. II. Warriner, Registrar of the Con- gregational College in Montreal. Dr. Werriner referred to the union of the four theological colleges attached to McGill University, and stated that the scheme which has already been for- mrtlateA, will be put into operation at the opening of the next eeesion. In the far west, he said, independ- ent union churches have sprung up in several places, and there has arisen among them the feeling that some form of co-operation with the three uegotiating Churches may be desir- able. The Rev. Dr. J. A. Gordon, on be- half of the Baptist Union of Canada, intimated that, the Baptist Church did not favor Church union, but, at the same Ulric, they favored and de- sired the closest relationehip with other denominations. Rev, Byron H. Stauffer delivered a very able address on "The modern preaeber and the presentation of his message," in the course of which he advocated the adoption of more advanced methods in the pulpit. In the course of his addrese Rev. Dr. Sperling dwelt at length upon the problem; wbjell will confront Canada during the next twenty-five years. Rev. A, nfargrett, Statistical Sec- retary, eompleted bis report to -day. Reports were also •presented by Rev. E. D. Silcox, editor. and by Dr, C. J. Copp, director of the Congrega- tional Publishing Company. The evening session closed with an addrees by Rev. Dr. Wm. Chambers, of Adana, Turkey. KILLED IN HOIST William.
