The seceding from the Montreal witness. Rev. R. Campbell in writing to Correct the error of a contemporary in styling the presbyterian Church in the United presbyterian Church of protests against the giving of the historical title of the presbyterian Church of Canada in connection with the Church of Scot land to a handful of men who seceded from that Church in june with the addition since of or. Lang and or. P. Wat son several of whom have no congregations to Back them. When the Synod properly constituted As the seeders themselves acknowledged by taking part in it adjourned from St. Paul s Church on the loth june to meet in Victoria Hall As it had a right to right is not seven ministers and three elders declined to accompany the Synod to its place of meeting but while the Synod was yet separate and constituted As it continued to be for a couple of hours in the skating rink prior to the act of consummating the Union organized themselves into a separate Church which clearly shows that they seceded from the historical presbyterian Church of Ca Nada in connection with the Church of Scot and have not the Shadow of a right to claim to perpetuate that Church. The Only continuation of that Church is in the presbyterian Church in which was served heir to the four churches that went to compose it by those churches them selves and by the Laws of the land. It would have been As reasonable had a few discontented politicians at the time of con federation set up an opposition parliament styling itself the parliament of and claiming jurisdiction Over the whole of the former upper and lower Canada As it is for this remnant to assume to. Presbyterian Church of Canada in connection with the Church of How Ever it is Manifest they do not seriously entertain so preposterous a claim since they begun their proceedings in june defying the fundamental Law of the Synod they pre tended to perpetuate which demanded that there must be at least fifteen duly accredited ministers and elders present to constitute a Legal meeting of that court and they seem by your report of the meeting yesterday to have violated another Rule that Only ministers having charges and elders regularly appointed by Kirk sessions could be members of Synod. Of course they have a right to Call themselves by any name they please just As the tailors of Tooley Street had the right to Call themselves the people of but when the preposterous Ness of the claim they put Forth is pointed out i am sure the press of this City will not abet their pretensions by styling them the Church of or the presbyterian Church of Canada in connection with the Church of without some qualifying phrase. The title that properly describes their position is the seceding and no confusion would arise from their being so called. In the suit of Mclean is. Dun Wyman co., for compensation for a Bill of goods sold by plaintiff to one Wilson on the recommendation of the defendants mercantile Agency a verdict for the full amount was granted at the York assizes.
