The union of the three churches will help to remedy this condition and make for increased effectiveness in the proâ€" motion of the objects of the church. As has been pointed out, the union of these three important® communions is a hotable achievgment. Unity of effort cannot fail to appreciably increase the influence of the Christian cause in many communities In ing their forces they demonstrate a coâ€" nwm which the spirit of the . After a quarter of a century of agitation and the fullest discussion of the project, the Presbyterian, Methodist and Congregational Churches of Canada with a combined memberâ€" ship of nearly 800,000, have decided to unite and form one great body. Of this total memâ€" bership, the Methodists number 406,935, the Presbyterians 357,211, and the Congregationalâ€" ists 82,149. ‘‘Scientists are often lonely men. Most of their work is incomprehensible to the people who will in the end most benefit by it. They achieve few of the ordinary rewards of success. All the more reason why, on occasion, a people, through its Government, should prove in some striking and tangible way that it understands the overwhelming importance of scientific reâ€" search. Our State Legislatures might well profit by Canada‘s example." â€" | CHURCH UNION TO BE CONSUMMATED ‘"What makes this act important is not wholly the freedom it confers upon Dr. Bantâ€" ing. To a man of his demonstrated genius the taboratories of the world would be open anyâ€" way. The act of the Canadian Government is important because it shows that a demoâ€" cracy, very much like our own, having no titles or orders to confer, can yet publicly recognize a great civilian. nonâ€"political service. The Canadian Government recently granted an annuity of $7500 a year to Dr. F. G. Banting. of Toronto, the discoverer of the insulin cure for diabetes. By his discovery he has made a great contribution to medical science, making it possible not only to afford relief to suffering humanity but to ensure a cure for this disease which has claimed so many victims. The New York World, in commending the action of the Canadian Government, says: ‘‘Throughout the election our followers have sought to carry on a fair and clean camâ€" paign of education on public matters. We have tried to do our duty to the people through the campaign, as we have through our term of office. "One thing, however, is emphasized by the present situation. The results of the elecâ€" tidn will be a severe blow to rural Ontario, unless the farmers maintain at least their orâ€" ganization. This will involve two things: First, such renewed zeal and energy on the part of those responsible for the conduct of the organization, both through its educative and its coâ€"operative activities, as will make it a real factor in rural life. and secondly, persistent loyalty on the part of the rural people to their own ideals. Given these two, the situation is not hopeless." | PREMIER DRURY HANDS OVER REINS | |. OF OFRICE | & â€" Premier Drury, following the defeat of his government, has advised the Lieutenant: Governor to call upon the leader of the majority group, G. Howard Ferguson, to form a new government. He and his fellow ministers will quit office as soon as their successors are ready to take over the reins of government which, it is understood, will be about the middle of this month. "Personally, I have nothing to regret. For four arduous years I carried on in the face of the greatest difficulties. We have accomplishâ€" ed something in that time which in many directions will prove of lasting benefit to the province. We have never governed for a class but for the whole people. Commenting on the results of the election, Premier Drury gave out the following stateâ€" "Of the results of the election, I have little to say. It is apparent that several causes conâ€" tributed to the Government‘s defeat. The massing of the antiâ€"O.T.A. vote behind the Conservatives, the lack of sufficient newspaper support on the Government side, and misunderâ€" standings among various sections of Governâ€" ment supporters, all contributed to the result.

Exportation of intoxicating liquor from Prince Edward Island or holding it in that province for export except by brewers and disâ€" tillers duly licensed by the Government of Canada: is prohibited by an orderâ€"inâ€"council now published in the Canada Gazette. The Special Committee on Agriculturai Credit recently presented its report in which it made recommendations for a system of long term and intermediate credits for the farmers, and urges the government to investigate the possibilities regarding the same. The Comâ€" mittee. however, reported the inquiry incomâ€" plete despite the fact that the evidence subâ€" mitted covered some 2500 pages. The prohibition of oleomargarine for use in Canada was recently considered in the Doâ€" minion Parhament when it was finally decided by a vote of 125 to 54 that it would be well to revert to the position which the country occuâ€" pied before 1917 when oleomargarine was proâ€" hibited. It is, however, doubtful if the Govâ€" ernment will take any action as long as the price of butter remaing low. The Boston Monitor, commenting on the subject, says it is the politician‘s view that they can balk the majority of the people of their wis}kby using professional control of the nominating machinery to block the nomination of a popular candidate. The Monitor admits the power of the party bosses and uses this machine autocracy as the text for a thoughtful editorial suggesting a more direct method of electing the president than the electoral college system, under which the great mass of the electorate have little to say in the final choice. The Ford Presidential boom in the United States is in full swing. For weeks past the "straw" vote, which is the popular means across the line of gauging public opinion, has shown a remarkably favorable sentiment toâ€" wards the Detroit motor magnate. Both President Harding and Wm. McAdoo who reâ€" present the regular Republican and Democratic clement, have fallen far behind, Ford‘s straw vote being more than the combined total of the other two.

The twelfth annual report of the Labor Organization in Canada shows that there has been a steady decline in trade union memberâ€" ship during the past three years. The memberâ€" ship which reached the large total of 378,047 in 1919 is now only 276,621.
