THE CONCORD TIMES
CANADA’S CHI RCH UNION
.Metbr.dist, Congregational and Presbyter
ian Denominations Merge.
Toronto. Ont., June S.— I The new Unit
ed Church of Canada, created by a merg
er of the Methodist. Congregational and
j Presbyterian denominations in the Do
! minii n. will come into being next Wed
j nesday. when i:s general council, or high
est court, will hold its first meeting in
Massey Jla.l. in this city. The union
j it- enthusiastically described in some
quarters as "the mightiest adventure in
I Christian annals since the Reformation.”
Then* have been formerly in Canada
and in other countries ‘‘church unions.”
but always of sects of the same denomi
nations. The present union marks the
first time in history that great churches,
long separated by what generations upon
generations have regarded as vital doc
trim's essayed to merge in a common
faith.
On Wednesday, the day fiked for the
consummation of the union, each denomi
nation is to hold its last great conclave
as a separate entity in separate edifices,
the Presbyterian’general assembly in one,
the Methodist general conference in an
other. the Congregational union in a
third. Then each convention will form
in procession and converge unon a com
mon point, a street demonstration of this
character being unique in the records of
local Protestant churches.
Then will follow a united street pro
cession. massed choirs will sing ‘‘Blessed
Be the Tie That Binds” and the general
council of the new United Church of
j Canada .will come into being. If num
bers and wealth furnish the measure the
new ecclesiastical hotly will occupy a
dominating position in affairs and will
be able to affect profoundly the future of
the country.
Union is being accomplished, however,
only with grave dissension. Not in the
Methodist and Congregational bodies,
which are entering the merger without
dissent ions, but in the Presbyterian. The
Act of Parliament which the unionists
succeeded, after a hard struggle, in get
ting passed ,at Ottawa lijst year, pro
vided that each congregation might vote
as to whether it would go into or stay
out of the union—a majority vote to
rule.
From the beginning of the union move
ment in 1004 there has been determined
oppositions among Presbyterian. A ple
biscite in 101a and the anti-unionists sub
increased their relative strength. Never
theless. the general assembly in the fol
lowing year committed itself to going
ahead with the project, though, owing
t<* the war and for tactical reason.s a
temporary true was declared.
Two years ago hostilities were renew
ed with increased vigor. The Presby
terians Association of Canada came into
being as the organized effort of the anti
unionists. not only to oppose and de’ay
the merger, but to preserve and continue
a Presbyterian Church in case union
pioved inevitable.*
On Wednesday next, the day when tl:»
United Church comes into being, several
hundred, perhaps a thousand non-union
Presbyterians will convene in St. An
drews Clinch in this city for Hie first
assembly of the continuing Presbyterian
Church.
The Provvrce of Ontario is the strong
hold of non-unionist Presbyterians. Out
side Toronto, the provincial capital, the
non-unionists are in a majority. The
city will be almost equally divided being
unionist arfd non-unionist.
According to the Chureh Union bu
reau. 1.542 Presbyterian congregations
throughout Ct-iia*’-! have voted for union
and 580 against. More than *<oo of the
.ico unionist “ougregations arc in On
tario.

The issue of the Tri-Weekly Star in
possession of Governor Ale Lean was
sent to him by an admirer. Its front
page, consisting of five wide columns,
is taken up for the most part with ad

one ad telling about the cheapest, short

five years at two-thirds their value. All
losses are paid within 90 days after
satisfactory probf is presented."
There were numerous other advertise
ment* on the front page. Many ot these
were signed by names still familiar in
Raleigh. On the -other hand, some of the
names have passed entirely from 'the
pages of the city directory. Some or the
more familiar names contained in this
j 1854 issue were: Turner. Young. Jor
dan, Mahler, Evans. Williams and
others.
Umbrellas “just /it hand from New
IYork this morning" were advertised at
from $5 to $lO each. They were describ
ed as “blue, brown, green and black."
with carved handles.
Another ad, signed by A. A. -Courts,
“Public Treasurer of N. C-.” calls for
sealed proposals for the purchase of
$lll,OOO AA’oldon and Gaston Railroad
bonds and “for the improvement of tho
navigation of the Neuse and Tar
Rivers."
Here are some of the things one mer
chant advertised “for the ladies." Reti
cules at all prices. Berlin and French
baskets of all styles, work boxes, pearl
plate and other desks, leather and paint
ed port-folios, card cases, card receivers,
ink stands. jet bracelets, perfumed
French bracelets, etc.
Here are some of the things that were
on sale for the children:
China tea and dinner sets, fine knives
and forks. India rubber opmbs. boys’
guns, secretaries, wheelbarrows, dominos,
baekgammor boards, chess men, differ
ent games, India rubber dolls, crying

For the men chewing tobacco carved
canes and all brands of cigars were ad
vertised.
The papers contained the daily jour
nal of the General Assembly, which was
then in session, although it was printed
in November. There was a lengthy edi
torial on the Governor’s message. The
editorial was not without its sarcastic
references. There was an item about the
“Know Nothings."
