The Moderator here called on Professor B

by illness from attending the Convention. .

not that he did not wish that a union conldbereathed

would not defeat that object by attempting too much,
or by demanding too itrinch.- - He believed a union

which we all agree, and agreeing to differ in regard to

Dr. Musgrave would never consent to commit

Mr. R. C. Stewarti U. P., came because it was

such a proposition as this coming from these bodies.

with great applause, it being almost a unanimous
vote of every member 'of the differenechurehes.
The vote, on the substitute for the article was then
taken, as follows: O. S. 97. ayes; N. 49 ayes ;
U. P. 10 ayes, 1 nay; Ref, Co ayes, 5: nays; Ref.

The fifth article was then , taken up. and Rev. Dr.
Roberts moved an amenditent- that the words be
