It has operated and is certain to wntimie operating along the liue of least re- sistauec. Its first triumphs in Canada were â- lie unification of the various Presbyterian charches and subsequently the unification of 'ieYarious Methodist churches. Its next 3iid more important triumph will, I believe, i« the nniou into one body of the Congrega- soual, Presbyterian and Methodist churches. Tie union of that body with the Episcopal Chmck will doubtless follow, and we shall MTe as the result the great free Pro- istant Cluuch such as the Eeformers of the Ufa century hoped for.

The difficulties in the way of ifflituig even the Presbyterian and Methodist aarelies are very great, but faith laughs at Impossibilities. Fifteen or twenty years ago lie men who advocated the unification of al «e Presbyterian churches in Cfluada were toided.

Mr. Wallace of the firm of Toid Wallace, tanners, Meaford, left here yesterday morning on the early train south, and his departure was caused through the circulation of statements regarding his former 'ife and character which were not at all favorable to him. Like the man Douglas, whom your correspondent wrote up a short time ago, Wallace owed his discovery and subsequent dis- grace to women. To get at an un- derstanding of affairs it wiU be neces- sary to go back some twelve years, and to refer to a town on the shores of Lake Huron known as Kiucardme. About a dozen years ago a firm of tauners carried on business there un- der the name and style of Fleming Bros. During the winter a system- atic series of petty thefts and robber- idS were being earned on in the town and no due could be found to the per- petrators thereof. But it was not always to be thus. Circumstances called the attention of the people to the tanners, and their names were coupled with the tliefts. A search was made- of the dwelling houoe and tannery and many of the stolen articl- es were recovered. It became too warm for the Flemings and they got away. Tne wife of one of them was Lnkeu home by her father, and still resides with ttm in Kincardine, aiid all trace of ilrt men were lost for a tiiue and now comes the squel. Some three years ago a man giving nis name as Wallace arrived in Mea- ford and began working as a journey- man in Agnew's tannery â€" afterwards Agnew Todd. Agnew went out of the firm, and Wallace took his place as a junior partner with Todd, He was a pleasant, sociable fellow, soon made friends with those whom he met took an active part in Sabbath school work, was an active and valuable member of Court Victoria, A.O.F., and in many other ways made him- self prominent iu social and society circles. He also ingratiated himself into the good opinion, of some of Mea- ford's fair damsels, becoming engaged to one, but the engagement was brok- en on the advice of a friend of the girl, who told her something of his former life. He then made advances to an- other town girl, and they were to have been married this v»eek, but the de- nounoement took place before the cer- emony was celebrated, and Wallace was known to the Meaford world, as Fleming, the junior member of the PI N E LU M BER Dressed and Undressed Direct from North Shore, all sizes, on hand.
