Getting together is undeniably helpful towards a better understanding of one another, and an earnest and fervent desire to forward and extend mutuality and goodwill. Co-operation recognizes .. the other fellow--and that `one man's rights end where the rights of another man begins. It sees the case from the friend's viewpoint and is willing to concede that the other man, or party, is not al-ways wholly wrong. Cur- iously enough, many of us interpret o-operation as being the duty of truth, and governs himself accord- ugly.` Of course, there are some activities of_ life. We nd` that as- . sociations and contacts are "necessary _ folkswho do not seem to be able to . (30- c others to us. But it cuts both ways.

United Church. The nited Church, said Dr. MacKinnon, with a -membership of 2,500,000, will exert a most ~tre- mendous power to ' unify national ideals and accom lish something nearly as great as w at was done for Scotland. V Discussing the question as a prac-0' tical problem, Dr. MacKinnon said that the original cause of the trouble was the invention of- the binder, which made possible large farms and consequently fewer people. This "condition obtained particu_larly'in the West, where there were frequently two conigre ations struggling along until nall there came the Basisof Union and instructions not to com- pete in the West but to unite wher- ever possible. We could not have done otherwise," he declared. Sure- ly nofne would suggest tha-twe plant all over the West small, inadequate chprchesvconicting with each other. That isthe practical problem of 3000 centres where Union is now in oper- ation. Whatpother form of co-oper- ation would be of any value? ll'I"7,'LI, A1, , 119.. _, , E A`, `I? , , I K *With the lling of . the West came the depletion of the East. There are hundreds of vacant farms in the Mar- 0 itime Provinces and the result -is that the people in. many congregations are no longer able to maintain their churches. In Pictou County we have had to; pay $7000 to augment the` ministers stipends" because of `this: depletion-." In the west of the prov- ince where there are a larger num- ber of Methodist and Congregational-' ists, congregations have united as in the West, so that now all the west except the townsof Yarmouth and Windsor are under Union. We have had to unite, both in the West and in the East, because` there was no other way out~of the dilemma.

If this is so, we must do all we can to make rural life attractive, he said. Why should. we condemn these people to worship in small. poor, denomination- al churches when by combining they can have comfortable buildings with organs and choirsthat will be sources of uplift and inspiration? If you were asked to state some doctrine or article _of church government that You consider.essential to Presbyter- ian faith and that is not in the Basis of Union, and if you found difficulty in, doing so, it would be impossible for` you` to struggle against Union when the advantages for Canada are so great}? ` .
