Prln. Gandier and Rev. J. M. Duncan Start Controvensy in‘ Glas- gow Herald --At- tack Statements of Govan Mini-s-

ter. ‘ LONDON, May 27.—Rev. Dr. Gandler, Principal of Knox Col-

lege, Toronto, and Rev. Dr. J. M. Duncan, Editor of Presbyterian Publications, Toronto, who are strong supporters of Ch-urch Union in Canada, on the one hand, and Rev. Dr. D. J. Fraser, Principal of ‘the Presbyterian Ooilege, Montreal, itev. S. C. Parker, Toronto, Rev. Robert, Johnston, -New Glasgow, N. 3.. and Proiessor Cyrus Ma-cMill- an Montreal, non-concurrents in the Union, on the other, have ‘become involved ‘in a wordy controversy through the columns of -the Glas- gow Herald.

The controversy was opened by Dr. J. ‘M. Duncan and . Principal Gnndier writing to the‘ Glasgow Herald to "icorrect" [statements made by Rev. George Duncan, of Govnn, who had written ‘to the Herald with regard ‘to the union of the Presbyterian, Methodist and Congregational Churches in ‘Can- ada. in a lengthy letter Dr. J. M. Duncan and Dr. Gnndier re-nssert on broad lines -their own side of the church union quwtlon in the Dominion and they assert that it is si-mply not in accordance with ‘facts to state, as ‘had been done, ‘that the ballot taken among the Presbyterian Churches in Canada h-ad shOWn that 102.000 were en- te-rin-g the union organization and 106.000 were remaining in the pre- eent Presbyterian Church. They confidently assent that seventy ‘pet com. crthoProihytcrlan communi- cante, 80 percent of itihe ‘ministers, 85' ‘per cent of ‘the congregations and‘ ~95 per cent of ‘the dorelgn imis- sionarles will enter m... United Church oi Canada.

Erred QnIyIBy Under-Emphasis. To this ‘letter Rev. Dr. ‘Fraser nnd ‘his anti-union companions from Canada give an equally lengthy reply ‘in itbe Herald, and they declare that ‘Rev. Dr. George Duncan. of Govsn, did» not err in what he had stated about the fi-ght for umlon in ‘Canada except by un- der-omphasis. ' "Principal Goad-lens extravagant figures oi 70 per cent. of-ths Bres- ‘bytcrian comlmunicsnts in Canada entering the union -i=s only achiev- ed ‘by ‘the naive expedient of reck- oniing as ‘being iicr un-ion all who, ‘from whatever cause, ‘have not rs- gistered their votes against union." they stole. "The real fact, on a cautious estimate." they ‘continue.

~'—'is‘ thae-the-sPreebyte-rien- - Church, -

so im- us the number of communic- ants ‘ls concerned, is going to divide into two equal parts." ,

This letter proceeds, to give a number of familiar statistics, and concludes thus: '

"We Canadian: Presbyterisns shall save what we can of our church and continue on our way. ‘it was to give ‘that adherence that we came ‘to Scotland, and not/to engage in a controversy ‘over dom- esblc affairs. We wish simply to assure the ‘Scolttifll b00919 '10!" when ‘they ‘come lo the Dominion ‘they will still find the church to which they have-been accustomed and which, in very truth, is a ‘bond oi Empire "

Explor-er’s Wife Says Flight is Merely Step Towards Greater Achievements -- Not to Worry un- til 1926.

‘NEW YiOlbK, May Z7-—What may be regarded as the‘ nearest to an adequate explanation of what has become of Roaid Amundsen and his Polar party has been offered by Mrs. Vernon Prentice, who says, Amundsen and his men had no 1n- tontion of returning to Spltzbergen

Mrs. Prentice is a sister of ‘Lin- coln Ellsworth, the American ex- plorer, who is Amundsens compan- ion in what was supposedly merely to be a dash to the North Pole by

air.

"The flight to the Pole was mer- ely a preliminary step to the grunt- er conquest of the Arctic in the ox- ploratlon oi the unknown territory north of Alaska," Mrs. ‘Prentice told the British United Press.

"if their flight was successful to the Pole they intended to take ob- servations there and then proceed down ‘tho other side of tho world toward Alaska."

The last message Prentice received from was one of cheer.

"Do not, under any circumstanc- es, begin to worry about us until the autumn of 1926." 1i 8W1- "U" stil then you can be certain that we are alive and mnkiiiE DPOETBBBY‘
