THE DOMINION.
tdethodists bal Council.


TORONTO, Nov. 29.-The union committee,
appointed by the General Conference of the
Methodist Church of Canada, met here yester-
day. 1t is composed of members, lay and cler-
icai, belonging to the respective annual conf
ences represented In the General Conference.
Its object is to agree, II possible, with commit
Tees appointed by other Methodist bodies in
canada on terms of uniop 10 be submitted to
the quarterly meetings of the various circuits
o. the Methodist Church for their approval
1t seems not unlikely that basis of union will
be arrived at. The feeling in favor of union
is said to be strong and that the obstacles are
not deemed insurmountabe. There are four
bodies interested directly in the matter-the
Methodist Church of Canado, the Methodist
Episcopal Church of Canada, the Primitive
Methodsts and the Bible Christians The two
last named bodies are small one, and appear
ready Tor union on any reasonable basis The
chief difficulty lies between the Methodist and
the Methodist Episcopal churches of Canada,
and involves the bishop question. The Epis-
copal body wants episcopacy to be maintaine d
IN one shap or another. The larger Methodist
body does not want ii in any shape. The rea-
sons for union are numerous and strong, and
probably the chief question in dispute will be
settled by compromise. The committees pro-
ceedings will be eagerly scanned, and, no
doubt, keenly criticised. Its work will be i'm
portant to the churches concerned.
