Cosgra | these are -ANGLICANS TALK One of the most important matters taken up at the annual conference of the Areh- desconry of Bimeoe, hel? in Trinity Chureh and Parish Hall the firat three days of this week, was the question of church union, From the diseumion it was evident thet, while there is quite a strong inclination towards union on the part of some, there ure docided obstacles in the way of the early inclusion of the Anglican Chureb in any scheme of union, About 80 members of the clergy attend. ed, but very few Isymen. Ven. Archdeacon Ingles presided at the several sessions, Rev. E. G. Robinson of Longford Mills acting a» secretary. On Monday the conference opened with Evening Prayer and a sermon B.A., R.D., who spoke from the text, "Their name liveth for evermore." Tuesday morning was de- yet to prayer and meditation, two de- 'ational addremes being given by Mr. Coa. grave, # Mirsionary Meeting Tn the evening « missionary address wax delivered by Rev, R, H. A. Haslam, M.A., of Toronto, on "The Influence of Chria- tianity on the Emerging Life of India," He xpoke of the nations} consciousness of India and factors contributing to it. Among Improved educational facilities, study of English literature in the schools, dissemination of the Bible und education of women. What India needs ia moral power and the lack of it explains why her people cannot rule. The only thing that will give this moral power is christianity, Following Mr. Haslam, the Lord Bishop of Toronto gave his impressions of the centenary of the Church of England in the Diocese of Rupert's Land, bringing out many historical facts of great interent.

He told of the hintoricul se(ting for the conferénee, how wonderfully perfect were the arrange. mente in every detail, of the generous hos- | vitality extended and of the splendid at. mosphere which permeated this groat gath- ering. His Lordship did not go into the resolutions adopted by the Conference ex- cept in a brief reference to the one on un- ion, This resolution had since been taken up at the conference in Winnipeg. After due consideration, the House of Bishops then decided that the questjon of re-union should be diicwwed at the next General Synod of the Church of England in Can- ada, and that then it will be determined what definite action the Anglican Church in Canada will take along the lines of the Lumbeth resolutions. In the meantime copies of there resolutions, together with | the Eneyelical letter, are being went to the authorities of the Roman, Presbyterian, Methodist, Congregational and Baptist Churches, with a view to ascertaining what their at'itude may be. At one o'clock # delectable luncheon was served to members of the conference by the Women's Ayxiliary of-Trinity Church. Re- cognition of their kind hospitality was made in a very hearty vote of thanks, Luncheon was followed by an address on "The Present and Proposed Divorce Laws of Canada" by W. A. Boys, K.C., M.P.. after which the conference adjourned. As to Re-Union with Rome The question of church union was intro- duced by Rev. N. A. F. Bourne of Pene- tang, who spoke on "The Problem of Chris- tian Re-Union with Rome." In opening, he pointed out thut the sub committee at the Lambeth Conference had proposed' no, re- solution on the subject but had quoted from the Report of 1908 as follows: "We realize that ary advance in this direction is at Present barred by difficulties which we our- selves have crested and cannot of aur: selves remove." We must, said Mr, Bourne, take the problem to God who has already opened the eyes of so many to see the wickedness of disharmony among His 'children. He must be besought to open the eyesof all fO-see that the Body has are to come together these bars must be Temoved. After quoting st some from the Lombuth "Onnderrnce nepdtt to eee favorable attitude of Bishops towards closer co-operation, the speaker went on to dis- cus the of Christian 're-union. honored. ° Among the points in common between the Anglicans and the great Latin Church of the Went, the speaker mentioned " at one with us in the worbip of the Blessed Trinity; in the recognition of the Incurn- ation, with no hesitation over the Virgin Birth; at ove with ux in the value of the sacraments and in the ascredness of the marriage tie." 'The rpenker mentioned that there wore certain elements in the Roman Catholic Chureh that would contribute to the spir- itual wealth and strength of "the whole fellow@ip,"" but there were other clements which, from the Anglican point of view, would buve to be eliminuted before union were powible, : Tn conclusion, Mr. Bourne auid, "1 do not know how we can unite with them un. leas a tremendous transformation takes pluce in their' idews, But think of what has taken place in our own Communion-- ss well un in pon-epixcopal bodies--in the fost 50 yenrm, All things are posible with God. Hix will must ultimately prevail. 'We must pray that all may come to een that they are the children of one Father, redeemed by His unique Bon and annctified [by Hix own Holy Spirit,"* Little Hope of Tt Mr. Benoliel of Collingwood, dimcussing Mr. Bourne's uddresx, could see no hope of union except upog terms dictuted by Rome. The Episcopal Church of the U; ited Stuter, weeking to bring about a world conference on faith und order, had visited. all the beads of the churches in Europe, Everywhere they were sympathetically re Jecived except in Rome where they were given sn nbsolute refusal, Humanly apenk- ing. there i» no hove of this union, De- velopments in the other churches, hop- ever, encourage the hope of ultimate union, (Continued on, page 3) BIG CUSTOMS BUSINESS Business conducted through the Out-Port of Burrie frout beginning of the fixcal year, April 1, to Oct, 28:-- Free goods pussed through ...$2,613,172.00 Dutiuble goods pawed throug 96,046.00 Duty eglleeted .. 11,200.86 The value of goods pased into" Camp Bonen was 82,491,576.00, Thia probably places Burrie in the le ing list of out-porte aa far as Customs. is concerned in the, releasing of goods to the above value.
