rlsh OOMTOII 011- 1' ' iii"... synods. into one Dominion- eyde denomination. the Presbyter- in) Church In Canada.

The history of Proebyterianism 1,. what is now Canada reaches mg much farther than seventy- M, yeu-s. As early as 1604. three hundred and forty six years ago, um.-, came to the Maritimes (the cradle of Preabyteriahiam In Cen- ,d.; certain French Protestants who were Presbyterian. The great- ... number of Presbyterian: nu-nugh the following years came from Scotland and Ireland. In ad- dition there were some from Hol- land and united Empire Loyalist: hour the United States. Previous to 1378 there were in Oanah. American Presbyterian Churches. Irish and Scottish Presbyterian -ongrQltIOh.!. and some lmown ,1.-ipiy as Canada Presbyterian.

The Scottish Presbytes-lane in Canada rejected the divisions that occurred In "The Mother Ohurch.' Tlicre came to be congregations. p,c.;m-terles and even synods eon- nccted with the established clwmh at Scotland (Kirk). the Secession Church (Bur-gher or Anti-Burgber) ml the Free Church of Scotland.

Pn:' several years me many groups of Presbyterians continued along their ; separate ways. In June. 1875. the four aynods agreed in meet. separately in Montreal to .-onsider a union of all Presbyterian churches. This was accomplished on June 15th, 1875. when the .;.;,..ds of the Canada Presbyterian ciiui-i-h (Free) Upper Canada. and iiie synod of the Free Church of me Lower Provinces. and the Mair- lL'.lI'lE synod of the Church of Scotland, and the Upper Oanada synod of the Church. of Scotland. united to form the Presbyterian Church in Canada.

in carrying out this venture the Canadian church became a pioneer in the Presbyterian family. in Scotland the reunion of the r-nu.-ch was delayed until me. while in the United States the task '5 var. unscoomplished.

stateaiantfroai Mr. ll. L. Mathleson 0n Party leadership

Interest is being aroused in the question of the Provincial leader- ship for the Progressive conservat- ive Party In succession to Hon. Dr. W. J. P. Macmillan. which is one of the matters to be decided at the Party convention to be held here on Thursday night. As previously stated. at least three names have mentioned in this connection. namely, Mr. D. L Mathleson. K.C.. M.L..A., Mr. R. R. Bell. K. C.. M.L.A. and Wing Commander J. Angus MacLean, D. I-'.C. so far, little information has been vouchsafed with regard to the policies of the candidates. The fol- lowing statement has been obtain- ed from Mr. D. L. Mathleson on this subject:

"I have been asked to offer my- self as a candidate at the Con- vention called for the election of a Provincial leader of the Progress- ive Conservative Party.

"I have at least sufficient public at erience and t.ra' , in political

airs to realize what is expected of the leader of this great Party and the responsibilities of the of- fice. Therefore if the representat- lvcs of the people should honour me with the appointment I under- take to do my best to fit myself for the task.

"The position will be all the more difficult for any new man to fill due to the high character. the outstanding ability and the driving force of our ret.iring- leader, Dr. W. .1. P. MacMillan. Whoever suc- ceeds him will do well if he can follow the Doctor's example by up- holdlng his high standards of con- duct in the public service.

"The general policies I would ad- vocate are those necessary to overcome our old handicaps of in- adequate revenues for Provincial Government services. exorbitant transportation costs and retarded industrial development for the utilization of natural products.

"I am against Government con- trol of business and industry. I detest the concentration of auth- ority in the hands of a few men of the Executive Council and its employees. but I am in favour of any necessary public assistance to enterprises which will increase the prosperity of our farmers. fisher- men and labourers; that is to say, the prosperity of all our citizens."
