They have, done this often and they are doing it again, and likely for the last time. Hut-h mar riages, all understand, are new legal acv cording,r to the law of Canada. It does not follow, however, that e\‘erything that is legal in the eye of the civic law is lawful in the eye of the church. A man may have the right in law to do certain things, and yet it he did them the church to which he belonged might very properly exclude him from membership. And he could have no legal remedy. He deliberately entered such a church on certain conditions, with the promise on his part, either expressed or im» plied, of submission to the authorities of that church and compliance with its rules and regulations. He may even suil‘er in his reputation and Worldly business by such we clusion, and yet his bringing a suit for dam» ages on that account would be absurd and indefensible. )‘larriage with a deceased Wife’s sister is a case in point. The ()en» fession of Faith, whose hindng authority the l’resbyterians recognize, clearly forbids such marriages, while it is notorious that great numbers, both of ministers and mem- bers of the church, sec nothingr wrong or un- seriptural in them. \Vhat then? One might naturally expect that one of two courses would be followed. Either let the church law stand as it is and discipline by exclusion all who contract Sili'll marriages as guilty of incest, or let that law be so changed as to bring it into accord with the law of the land. \Vhat is proposed is neither of them, and because it is neither it is e 'i« dent that it is cowardly, illogical and unfair. The plan at present discussed is to give Hrs‘ions and l’resbyteries so much disu cretion that they shall not beobliged to prw eeed against ()llelldciS unless they so please. \Vere this adopted, as there seems every likelihood it will be, there would be confr- siou worse confounded in the ehnreh. One S sion would think there was nothng wrong in the marriage in question and the eontraeting parties would continue in full standing in the church. Another Session in the same city or town might take. the old View and theolllenders would iluznbt turned out of the church and be looked upon as rcprohates as long as they lived. This would eonti ‘e and confound all ideas of right and wrong. (lend Presbth in friends, have the courage of your convicr tionslfirr’l'oronfo ’ I‘ll/i1. a 'l'ium'rinavr ma \Vnnml'ixn (Imam.
