By repeating the Lords Prayer and singing “Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow” the members of the Richmond Hill Presbyterian congregaâ€" tion on Wednesday night marked the return of the church property after two years of uncertainty as a result of the first vote on Church Union. The second vote which was ordered by the legislature commenced on Decem- ber 15 and concluded with one. hours voting on Wednesday night. Return- ing officer G. Moodie announced that 135 Votes had been polled and were “The vote is highly satisfactory. I am not unduly elated, because it gives us nothing beyond what we claimed was ours all along. Had we lost I should still claim the property right- ly belonged to the Presbyterian church. ' The first vote was 87 versus 86, this time it is 135 majority in favor of the Presbyterian Church or more than 48 over the Unionist vote by which they took the church property. The roll as settled by Justice Orde has 313 names on it, but after carefully going over it and deducting deceased, certified away and those it was im- probable if not impossible to bring the roll is thus reduced to not more than 250 at most.

NA 3.11 1 have shown in 3nd Deputy Reeve $01 history here. Personally, I desire to forget all about this turmoil, and would love to see those who used to fill their places in the church resume. I don’t invite anybody to return. It’s as much their right to invite me. As Presbyterians the Church property is theirs and ours. I should love a “Union” movement to bring the two sections of the presâ€" byterian church togetherâ€"those who left and they who remainedâ€"espec- ially in districts where separation has paralyzed the usefulness of one or both. Anyhow, let us cultivate ‘the mind of the Masterâ€" the spirit of toleraâ€" tion friendliness and love. “Glory to God in the highest, peace on earth and good will toward men." School Meeting S.
