ontario church commission in stouffville occupied two full days last week attracting sufficient people to comfortably fill raiclitfs hall during the entire time of the hearing four cases were heard namely stouffville beaverton sutton and wick judgment in all cases is reserved and may be ex pected any lime within one to three weeks the commission is composed of justice falcoubridge w hr ward- rope kc and r s cassels kc mr d l mccarthy kc assiste1 by mr norman mcdonnell conduct- led the cases for the antiunionists and mrgershom mason kc assist ed by mr r b whitbread looked after the interests of the unionists the stouffville case was heard first and occupied all friday morning the request was for relief from ex treme hardship by the local presby terians mr mccarthy stated the situation briefly saying that the church had been left empty after june 10th but was occupied by the presbyterians the basis of my application is that tiie former pres byterians at melville and stouffville were under one charge drawing from a territory of six miles the melville church had entered union and is using the church there jyt this point a lengthy argument ensued between mr mccarthy and mr falconbridge as to whether these churches could be construed to be in one community for church pur poses the commissioner holding that although the casheljjhurch was established first the minute the stouffville church was instituted it separated them so far as a church community goes thereupon mr mc carthy stated it was no use in fur ther argument on the question from this angle if the commission refuse to admit this as one community mr masoijmade the following sug gestion the two congregations united are now in the former metho- bist church the basement of the presbyterian church is under lease to the school board a j 144 year the church auditorium is being used by the nonconcurrents the minor ity in stouffville is very small the vote being 49 to 28 our view is that the congregation is too small to war rant them to continue long secondly while the methodist church is adequate for the adults the sunday school is overcrowded and for this reason we prefer to re tain the church thirdly there is no place for the i young people to meet although i st andrews and knox there are seven churches in the town con we wish to be free to use the church as we see fit for sunday school and community purposes for this there is a crying need the church was valued some years ago at 20000 continued mr mason mr mccarthy what is its pre sent value mason i dont know continuing he said my sugges tion is that untiljune 1926 we ask them 25 rental forthe year sub ject to the rights of the school board after june 1926 100 yearly and should the school boarddisconfinue then 150 per year nonconcur rents to bear necessary repairs this under a five year lease with a fur ther term of five years if desired with the understanding that if ser vice should discontinue for a period of three months the lease may be cancelled if our friends went on counsel are not satisfied with this we will be willing to offer the church out right on payment pf 3000 the difficulty is that either suggestion still leaves us without a solution of our difficulty we need 1400 to repair the former methodist church which leaves us only 1600 for ex tensions necessary to accommodate the sunday school the adequacy of the methodist church to house the two congrega tions in the auditorium was admitted by unionist counsel mr mccarthy said that it the ob ject of the commission is to hear such suggestions as this the time was being wasted this might be cone without calling this sitting w h clark was then called by mr mccarthy for the presbyterians he said the present congregation numbered 46 at the presbyterian church regular worship was held since june 10th for a time two ser vices a sunday but lately one ser- ce in conjunction with markham he said we have a session wms iid young peoples society in fact all church officers excepting a sun day school why havnt you a sunday school mr clark we have no sunday school one reason being the chairs were taken tothe methodist church and stored in the furnace room since they may be in use is that the reason asked mr mason answenthere are others to mr mccartuy mr clark said the attendance went from 43 to so last sunday it was 70 and the fin ances show a balance on hand of 26 with running expenses paid up cross examined by mr mason do you make any complaint re specting the chairs no but we have an interest in them and wish to be compensated mr mason is it the real reason that you didnt start a ss because of the chairs mr clark i wouldnt say it was the real reason mr ad bruce of melville church was next witness and counsel sought to show the geographical area of the two churches holding that the rela tionship was but a pastoral one f rev mr young was the second unionist witness and testified as to the attendance then mr m harris concluded giving evidence as to the size of the former methodist s s considerable documentary evidence was filed and the commission ad journed for luncn after dinner tak ing up the case of beaverton which lasted until 9 oclock in the evening the beaverton situation is a com plicated one arising from the fact that in 1914 before the vote on union was taken there took place a union of two presbyterian churches the latter congregation coming from the old stone church built in 1844 and one of the last scottish churches to enter the presbyterian union in canada into this union there came in 1918 a methodist congregation when the recent vote on union was taken last february there was strong opposi tion to the methodistmembersyot- ing on the question the fact that a signed ballot was used was another cause of trouble the result of the vote showed according to last fri days evidence that 104 methodist and 182 presbyterian members had voted for union and that 137 had- voted against it and that some 148 didnt vote at all mr mccarthy for the nonconcur rents asked the commission to de clare that the vote was an irregular one and could not affect the proper ty because a signed ballot was used if the commission did not so rule he asked that relief be afforded the presbyterian minority who had no place to worship in while the unlo isi majority retained the two church buildings st andrews on simcoe st and knox on osborne st relief from hardship was asked in the sutton case while wick which went union by a majority of two claimed irregularity in taking the vote john
