NEW WESTERN LEADER.

Mr. W. J. filair, of Provost. who was elected as leader of the Alber- ta Conservatives at the provincial convention at Calgary, is fairly spoken of by the press. The Cal- gary Herald days of him:

"Mr. Blair is not without consid- erable experience of politics. He was a member of the Home ofOorn- ii-ioms for several yeara.- He is- a close student of public questions. m‘ is a large-scale farmer, who is also a university graduate. l-leus n successful man of well-rounded experience {of public life and busi- ness life.

Do people know wlist Presbyter- ianlsm is? And what its distinc- tlvo feature isf lt is true that its system of theology isflalvluistlc as expressed by the "Confession of Fhith." but that is not its distinc- tive feature." for there are other re- llgious bodies l whose systems of theology is Cslvinistic. The dia- tinctlve feature of Pnsbyterianiem 19 1U avatar: of church government. The fundamental part of that sys- tem is the congregation presided over by its elders. one of which is annually appointed by the congre- gation as its ruling elder. the other is the teaching elder or minister railed by it from time to time. These two represent the congrega- rlcn at the higher courts. viz: the

- Presbylttry. the Synodand the Gen-

era] Assembly its highest court. Now, it is well known thavtrmany ministers and elders, who voted at the last Assembly at Port Arthur in favor of union, voted in direct opposition to the will of the con- gregation. as expressed in the inst vote taken in the congregation on union. it is folly to say that these people represented that particular wongregation. Compare 113.000 out of 400.000 votes in favor of ‘union among the congregations. and 400 ‘o 90 in the Assembly.’ The differ- ence is simply ecclesiasticlsm. a thing that the great Presbyterian Zburch in the past had occasion to smash more than once and. Iiiave 1o doubt, will again. Yet m. ‘Pldgeon comes here and tells us that the question of union is settled by the highest court in the church, and we are bound willy nllly by its "locision. A former court with far rreater wisdom said that union to be effective should carry with it its entire membership. These people

Ours will meel later. but while the date has riot yet been fixed there is a general consensus of - ‘ninn that an early meeting is desirable. By a singular coincidence both in the British and Canadian Parliaments there are three strong political parties. ncith- er of which parties control a miti- orrty support. These are conditions that make for uncertainty and rib- sta-bility in political affairs. ‘In the Old Country two general elections within a twelve month have settled practically nothing.

We do not all see o; rsascn alike but all are agreed upon his appeal for loyalty amongst ourselves; how best to accentuate this is of more difficult decision. lie cites a letter from the Montreal Star of "money spent" and "political speeches rnatlc" regarding saving Canada by the immigration route. and yet. we have not heard a. word about doing anything to put thousands of men. born Canadians, in position where they can earn a living for them- selves and their families." The question has been more of a live one than it has appeared to him and n study of the words of our political leaders, of both parties. if closely and intelligently followed will prove a revelation. lt is the corner stone upon which the Nat- lonnl Policy is founded and upon which Canada's prosperity, Vor what she ls permitted to retain of this spirit of progress. has been built. It is the promise likewise given us by our present federal w.“ meut for the fulfillment of which we are waiting with many misglvlugsas to the outcome.
