Reports received here of the recent general conference of Japanese Methodism Indicate a growing feeling of confidence between Canadian Missionaries and their Japanese brethren. Not only has Canadian Methodism given generously to the building and rebuilding of churches, oolleges and orphanage in Japan, but the Japanese delegates have elected a Canadian as a general officer of their church. Conference estimates were that one fifth of the assets of the church were destroyed by the September disaster. Great Increase In membership and Japanese givlngs were reported.

The conference will be remembered as the. "barracks and earthquake" conference. It also memorable as having made a Canadian a genera! officer of the church. Rev. P.

G. Prlngle of Toronto, was made director of social service in recognition of his devotion and ability and work among th Industrial populations of Tokyo before, during and since the earthquake and conflagration of 1923. Mr. Price Is a brother of Hon. W.

The United Church has creed, and a good one, which all accept without mental reservations or equivocation of any kind. Dr. Scott accuses the moderator of repeating "the time worn fiction that 2000 congregations have already gone into union on the ilth that the churches were pledged to union," Tho only answer to such an aspersion upon the veracity of Dr. Gandler is a citation of actual facts. There Is In the home mission effico an official list of 1245 pastoral charges where seme form of union Is already In effect.

In order of synods these are as follows: Slaritime provinces 80, Slon treal and Ottawa 29, Toronto and Kingston 170, Hamilton and London 1, Slanltoba 14 9, Saskatchewan 431, Alberta 297, British Columbia 139: total 1,243. These charges Include over 3000 congregations.

Thirty, seven years ago Rev. Robert Lennle, now In his ninety fourth year, and ilving In Victoria, B.

came from New Westminster and started this work. At that time there were only six Baptists In Vancouver and in the Okanagan Valley. Now there are about 7,000. with seventeen churches In Greater Vancouver. The first church was organized with only six members and now has a membership of upward of 1200, and a Sunday school, including all its departments of 700.

The property and buildings of the First Church, if reproduced today would coht upward of half a million dollars. Rev. J. B. Kennedy, still living, was the first pastor of the church.

He is now living in California. Some of the pastors of this church have been the abiest men that the Baptist denomination in America could produce, Prs. Rowland D. Grant, W. 13.

Ronald MacLeod, of Toronto, who is a pastor of a United church. It Is printed because it presents, briefly, the experience of a union church: Sir. "Where are these union churches?" asks Rev.

Dr. Ephralm Scoy, in a letter in which he casts serious reflections upon statements made by the moderator of his own church. I have not taken any part in the church union controversy, but I have had some experience In the practical application of the ideal of union In Canada, on the basis of the United Church ot Canada. It has been my privilege for the past fivo years to minister to the United Church of Rosedale, which Is the largest union congregation, of which there are over three thousand of various kinds all over Canada. lu this locality there is room and need for one strong church, but not for more.

In 1913 the Inter Church Committee on church extension approved of a site and sanctioned the establishment of the Northern Congregational church In tint district. The Presbyterian and Sleth odist churches agreed not to establish a cause there. In view of approaching union. At first the church carried on as a Congregational church witli a measure of success, but It became apparent that it could not adequately meet the situation nor make a sufficiently wide appeal on any denominational line. On my return from overseas I was called to this congregation on tho distinct representation to me that the church wished to take advantago of the agreement entered Into for the establishment of union charges, pending the consummation of the "United Church of Canada." The church was then organized on the basis of union In all particulars of doctrine and government, with the following result: GREAT INCREASE IN ATTENDANCE A KESUlT.

In the four succeeding years h) congregation Increased by 150 per cent, the Sunday School by 100 per cent, and the finances doubled. The church built a manse at a cost of J20.000.
