thirty-seven per cent. of the total commuuicnnt membership of the Church, resolved “in -the hope that union may be consummated with no unnecessary delay" to press forward the matter of organic union with the Methodist and Congregational church ee. and the consequent bringing to an end of the Presbyterian Church in Canada. .-
Thereupon, those opposing that re-
solution imniediately convened and-- inasmuch as the assembly in 1905 had decided that "a union to be real and lasting must carry the consent of the entire membership"-and inas- much as more than sixty-two per cent. of the total membership of the church, although urged to do so, had ellpressed no desire for union,-reso1v_- ed that the Presbyterian Church in Canada should continue and appoint- ed committees to that end.
In pursuance of their appointment
and instructions these committees rc- spectfully lay before the church, (1) 0 brief historical statement, (2) the question at issue, (3) some reasons for continuing in Canada the Presby- terian Church, and for discontinuing the present agitation. In doing so they desire to say that nothing in this document is to be construed as manifesting anything but kindly`feel- ing for brethren in our own church from.'whom we differ, nor as reflect- ing in any way upon sister churches for whose zeal in the work of thc L0rd~we have the highest regard and for whose continued prosperity we hope and pray. -~
MANY DID NOT VOTE.
After eight years of discussion the
vote was taken in our church at the end of 1911, -with the result that of thc 306,061 communicant members and elders reported in the statistics of that date, 115,978, thirty-seven and a fraction per cent., a little more than one-third of the whole, voted for or- ganic union; 188,400, forty-five and_a fraction percent. of the whole, 'did not fvote,. expressed no desire for change, while 51,791 members and cl- ders' voted against organic union.
In many of the centres where the subject was most fully discussed, the ninjority vote was against union. For example, the Presbytery of To- ronto had, at that date a member- ship of 30,566, more than one-tenth of the whole church; and the vote for union on the present basis was 44,- 690 against, union on the present ba- sis 5,002. In the city of Montreal, the majority vote of the membership in most of the. larger churches was against union. In the historic pres- bytcry of Picton, the people gave a majority against union as did those of many other places throughout the church. /'

high calling, congregations and indi- |viduais of different name, showing their brotherhood in Christ as do those of the same namc. If there be any lack in this respect the remedy is not organic union, but more of the Spirit of Christ.
It is_u0t a question of preventing
waste of means and energy in small or diminishing populations, for u wise adjustment between the church- es, as has been proven in the past, will accomplish the desired end. _
It is not a question of majority, or
minority rule inside the church, but of some -wishing to remain in the Presbyterian Church and others seek- ing to end it und form a new one. If uny wish to change their church con- nection, tlie rest are under no obliga- tion to . follow them.
It is not a question of overlapping
or waste in the foreign field, for the negotiating churches have no foreign [missions in the same territory.
WORK IN HARMONY.
The ' question at issue has had
three stages, or aspects. Prior to the vote of the church the question was simply whether we should live and work, side by side, in harmony und no-operation with all other cvan»\ gelicnl churches or give up our Pres- byterian nume and organization and loin with others i.u,I0rining u. new `ch`urch. '
The vote of the church added an-
other aspect to 'the question, Only 'thirty-seven per cent. of the mem- bership expressed a desire for union, while more than fifty thousand voted 'against it; .and tho Union Committee ‘on counting the vote at its first 'meeting thereafter, decided that un- ion 'wiis not feasible at the present time. An additional question then was°whethcr it was better to con- tinue the agitation or, giving our energies without distraction to the 'work before us, allow the matter of 'organic union in the meantime to rest,
Still another aspect of the question
I has been added by the action of a Daft' of last assembly, ‘-in the decis- ion to press forward the consumma- lticn or organic union. This action :made necessary the resolve to or- ganize for the continuance of our church; and the special question now is-whether we shall, as. a church, give ourselves unitedly to the great ,work to which our Lord is calling ns, or whether some, by devoting energies to the ending of the Church
ers to her defence and continuance.
The whole question at isses may be
,summed up as follows-whether it is ,better that the existing denomina- tions in‘ Canada, including Anglican, 'Baptist and others, all living and working in harmony, avoiding need- ess ovorla in co-0 eratin where
one church has had exclusive sway have el\vays suffered from steadily increasing spiritual deadness so long as that sway continued; und there 1_9 'H g1'0lV1hg volume of testimony "Om religious thinkers throughout the world that the effort to achieve _thristicin unity bymeans of eccles- ufstical “‘1if01“II1itY and consolida- tion can never be effective, because

PLEA FOR ADVANCEMENT.
(7) The vote of the three churches
shows that none of them is prepared for union. On such a vote no union at .fill complete or -harmonious would be possible. But the Union Com- mittee and the General Assembly stated this clearly in 1905, when they said, as already quoted, “that a union of the churches to bc real and lasting must carry the consent of the entire membership." .
Further. to ask another vote in the near future, so often after the' ,previous one with its eight years of discussion and preparation, would bc a grove discourtesy to un intelligent people, for nothing has since arisen to change essentially the conditions that then existed; while thc very
