_ ' P ' DY Regina Leader of date September 22nd. lt contains under display headings' a two column report of _a meeting of the Pre;-lbyterians ot' the great Prov- lnce- of Saskatchewan wllo areoppoaed to the formation of The United Church of Canada, through the union ot' the Congregatlonnllst. Methodist and Presbyterian Chtlrchel~l._

W. G. Brown. B. A., of the neighbor- tng province of Alberta. Anlqng,

Elle point; emphauled and to which

make answer here were: _ _ . 1. "The Union Committee olfthe _hr- s_embly is .unr_epresentntive." 7--lt is suftlcient to say that this Forn- mlttee was chosen by the Asrembly that by a vote- of four hundred and

contains pasto s whose nun)-\s are twuaehold' yvorlll-._ t‘nil'ersit_\'_'P_r€-sld- e‘f1ts, College Principals, editors _and laynlen prominent in the Professional _and businesl; life of our land. _ l 2. Tbut “Union will bc- the destruc-

`t.l0n of the Prev-byterian (`llurch." . The Presbyterian Church as a dis- 'tinct organization will disappear, but will continue to live as a constituent element in the Unite] Church of Can- ada. The river when it Joins the sea ceases as a river, but becomes part of the sea. The bride at the altar sur- frenders her maiden name, but contin- ues' ill the fuller and richer relation- ship of wifehood. A name is a desig- nation, but not an e-ntlty. The entity abides quite independent of the name-_ We heard _a worthy mall very emphati- lcally declare that "a Presbyterian the was born, and a Preslyytertan he' lwould die.” He was in 6-rrol _ln both fparticuiars_ lie w:is`bol‘h a frdllftrhlld’ lof the dust and when 'be comes' to"dié 'his confidence will he ill fact that' he 'will die u Christian, and his passport and his right to Heaven 'will notJ"be' his Presbytelrlanisnl. hllt his union' ,with Jesus Christ. ' = l l 3. A good deal ts- beillg~ said about l -'rue ili-li.-pollsm or-llle settlement' com- mittee." ' " ‘-

This ill" an opinion that as yet lacks

‘any experience to nuppartfit.'(!on'gre'= gatlons in the United Fhurch of ‘Gnu-

iuda will have the right to culll-as now. The Settlement Committee will be lavailable- on occasion to exercis-s what many Presbyterluns have hitherto longed for, namely, a wise authority in see-ing that no congregtionis for any lengthened period without a pastor and that no capable and worthy pas- llor lr. fill- any length cr time wlthcct lthe work that he is both able and anx- `ious to do.
