In addition to the money jiaid the fishermen, others have been paid lo pack that fish and ' in other ways prepare it for shipment io the Kastern mark?4s where tfie most of It has gone. The rajlway has also been paid a largo sum of money to transport it. The fishing iiiduslry cenlred at this port has in one way or another dirertly employed several hundred men. It has tints been a great mainstay to the port.

Before I lie program opened, Ihe assembly sang "Hark! The Herald Anges Sing," Archdeacon C. A. Mix read a passage from (he lllhle suitable lo (he Christmas season a'nd all Joined In repealing "The Lord's Prayer" Then hc assembly again sang "We Three Kings of Orient Church Union in Canada' Saturday, Ietiui r 9 Canada Leads the World Toward Christian Unity THROUGHOUT the English-speaking world, there is evidence of a drawing together of the Christian Churches and of a growing confidence in the desirability of Church Union. Canada is giving leadership,, because our needs forced definite action. Here the subject has been carefully investigated and its realization has moved steadily forward for twenty years, impelled by the necessity of facing in a more adequate way the pressing problems and wonderful opportunities of this great, new country. Parliamentary and Legislative approval of theUnion of the Presbyterian, Methodist, and Congregational Churches is designed to protect the rights of both unionists and minorities. All Essentials are Preserved m. I The creed of the United Church containi the "Doctrinei of Grace" that made the Reformation. No minister can be ordained in the United Church until he accept the 2 Church' creed. The ordained elderthip is retained in the United Church. Congregation of the United Church have the right to "call" their own ' , 4 minuter, subject to the Settlement Committee's approval, a Presbyterian Congregations are now subject to Presbytery. When Anti-Unionists deny the above truths, it is only necessary to place their charges side by side with the provisions of the official "Basis of Union": The Charges (Quotation from advrrtlixmf nt of the .AntbUnlonhli) lI!The Ministers will not be pledged to any system of truth." 2.j"The.ordained;eldership will be'dropped," 3. The' right of a congregation to call its own Minister will be taken away." 4. "The right of a Presbytery to ordain and . induct its Ministers will be taken away." Each of the three uniting Churches is contributing to the others much that is beyond price in tradition, history, experience and in zeal for humanity. Let not any of us selfishly retain for our own enjoyment whatever in our glorious past may contribute to the spiritual advancement of others. The religious life of the ordinary congregation pr individual will be practically undis The Facts Before a minister can be ordained, he must "satisfy the examining body that he is in essential agreement with" "The Statement of Doctrine" of the United Church. See "Basis of Union" page 26. The oversight of the spiritual Interests of each charge shall be entrusted to "the Minister or Ministers and a body of men specially chosen and set apart or ordained for that work, who shall jointly constitute the Ses- sion. See "Basis of Union" page 26. "Any pastoral charge, in view of a vacancy, may extend a call to any properly qualified Minister or Ministers." This is subject to the approval of the Settlement Committee, as now to Presbytery, the only difference being that, if the call fails, the Settlement Committee may send a Minister, a provision which will remedy the abuses of the present "call" system. See "Basis of Union" page 24. "It shall be the duty of the Presbytery to induct or install Ministers ... to inquire, each year, into the personal character, doctrinal beliefs and general fitness of candidates for the ministry ... to license them to preach and to recommend them for the ordination of the Conference." See "Basis of Union" page 22. turbed by the Union. What we give up is as nothing compared with the potential value of Union in the building of the Kingdom in the sparsely-settled sections of our own country and in the vast missionary fields, in both of which our divisions have been a real hindrance. The eyes of the religious world are upon Canada, Let us show that we are worthy of leadership. The Joint Church Union Committee Alfred GandUr, Mod- Co. C. Pldfaoa, Con- S, D. Cbown.
