CHURCH UNION

Si'r,———ln your issue of April 20th." iPresbyterlan” asks me a question

which l think l could answer to the entire satisfaction of any man» who will admit that the Presbyterian Church, like the Methodist Church is a constltutionaliy-qbvornod body, and that therefore sach and evcry congregation is of necessity bound by and must be loyal" tothe action oi iis Presbytery and General As- sembly- But your correspondent evidently does not admit this, and it seems useless to argue with or try to convince one who still per- slats in suspecting his brethren in the church of "sharp legal practice and trickery."

Personally, l feel very strongly

that such suspicions are unworthy of us as christian men on either side oi the discussion, and that it is impossible to reach any com- mon ground while we indulge ill them. uu ildsnco in not believe that there are any dil- ficultics in the way of the proposed union, which a little Christian tact and conciliation might not readily overcome. ‘

if we but‘ maintain our one‘ another, I do

Trusting that when this union ‘is fully consumated, as it surely will

he,—if not now, certainly at no

very distltnt date-we may all live and wprk together harmoniously in the interest of the Kingdom of God, which is much bigger than

any church.

I am, Sir, etc. W. M- Charlottetown, April 28th.

_ (I. I ~ l.‘ , DIE» THE SUBSTITUTE FOR GOLF

Golf clubs are so numerous these days that one might get. the idea that everybody plays golf.

, And yet when yo): come to think about it, a golf club can have but a few hundred metnbers at moat.

This means that the largest city with thirty clubs down to the small town with but one, really touch less than one in a hundred of their population. l don't want to talk about golf this time except to say that it is a wonderful outdoor game, if you are willing to acquire the art gradually and naturally, and not keep too tensed all the time trying to re- member all your instructions.

What l had in mind was the in- dividual who didn’t play golf, be- cause of lack of time, or money.

The big beneiit from golf is the walking in the outdoor air. You walk because you have something to make you walk. There is an in- centive- You are just the sort of an individual that wouldn't walk three miles ‘in a week,’ and yet you'll cover the three or more miles of the course during a game, and think nothing of it.

And what about you, who do not mm .

You can't get the mental relaxa- tion, that should, but doesn't al- ways come, with golf.

But if you can't afford the time or money sursly~ you can supply your ow-n incentive.

And that is what? ,

That you'll get just what the golf enthusiast is really alter. That is good health, through out- door exercise.

And my suggestion is what? That as you can't spare a couple oi hours or an afternoon for golf two or three days a week, that you can get Just. as much exercise and in the outdoors also, by a very simple method. .

Simply decide that you'll walk daily to and from the office, store, or factory, or it the distance is too great then a part of the way. Don't just amble along, but step out at a brisk pace, making your stride just a fe,w inches morethan usual by swinging the legs from the hips, with a little Iless bending at the knees. .

What is this going to do for you?

Well, the only thing that Nature has provided to purify your blood and to burnlip the wastes in your body is the oxygen in the air.
