Congregational churches in Canada
was first brought up in the assembly
at St. John seven years ago.
Daring the past year the question
has been toted on by the 68 presby

from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and
the result show* & decided sympathy
on the part of the ministers and the
presiding elders In favor of the
movement for union.
