going forwantfor many years and which is about to be consummated at- last for one thing ours is a church which believes and believes profoundly in tho christum duty of tjnion its very name la a standing testimony to that conviction it is called the unltod tree church of scotland and at least four separate unions havo gone to make it what it is today a church with such a record of union and with such a tradi tion in favor of union and with jsuch h conviction or tho christian duty or union whenever it can be accomplish ed on torms consistent with its own constitution aa a presbyterian church cannot but have and does have the doepest sympathy with the prosbi terlan church in canada in the union which it has carried through on just such terms again wo represent a church whin has paid tho prico of union it must bo within the knowledge of most of you that after the union in 1900 the jtrce church side of our united fjco churci was stripped of its property by a legal judgment it was divested of evoiy atono nmr of every tennjr whlchit possessed it is truo that vory sooi a large portion of its property was restored to it by thp imperial parlia ment legislative enactment redressed and righted tho judicial wrong but this is my point that even if that had not been dono oven if tho judgment had stood the united free church would not have counted that too great a price to pay for tho assertion of its full christian liberty ujl in particular of its christian right to unltb with any other church with which it found itself to be in true spiritual faith nnd fellow ship but tho price which it has paid for union was more andgrcaterthan of a material kind it consisted ujio of the pain of separation from honored brethren with whom it- has boon asso ciated in close christian fellowship and service that was and remains a costly sacrifice you also and on both aides havo boon called upon to pay that price hardly it would seem in the providence of god is any great achievement possible without sacri fice and your union is a great achieve ment our comfort is and your con solation on both sides must be that no sacrlnce which is made at tho ca 1 of conscience is ever made in vain like the corn of wheat which fall 3 into the groun and d itjwllt yj brlngtorth an abundant harvest it in from a churph then which itself has bean through the fires and whtrh has paid the price of union that we bear grehing and good wishes to you who have been called upon to make thq same costly sacrlfle finally wa represent a chujrah which is looking forward p a greater and more comprehensive union still for sixteen years our church has been u negotiation with the church of scot- 4antwlthv4ew to union the first task has been to remfive the obstacles in the way in tho judgment of both churches the main obstacles have now been removed by tho act of parlia ment of 1921 which recognized tho constitution of the church of scotland and in partloular its completo spiritual freedom and by the act of 1925 pass ed only a fortnight ago dealing with its nrpperty and endowments the way has been opened up for tho churches to come together to olear tho ground of any minor dlinouitu0 and to
