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-

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. And. bythe way, while- I
never had to do with a “Settle'ment,
or a i-_alllngCommittee.” if l were ask-
ed to cllcoee -l would say. “Sudor me
‘to fall into the hands of the- Settle-
imcnl Committee of a Synod or (‘_onfe'r~
Ience of the United (‘hurch of Canada
'rather than illto the hands of the
"Calling Committee" of any Pirerlllyter-
lan congregation.

`was affirmed at fl similar gathering
