, :J.

.;Ills Address to the Preubyterof Toronto In

llrcnrd to the Cull Jo'rolll'lItol'll1 . , :

The following ;the reply of Hop ..

Mel . McLeod nt the meeting of the To ¬ : (,

ronto Presbytery , which decided by ft sole :viAndrew's, , .,tained :

'

Ho said that if evct there was a case its : :

his ministry in which hu felt ho would .

prefer to lease the whole , mutter/ in the .:

hands of his brethren , iit . n as that case .', :

While he always prized tIne vighf of pri - , :

rate judgment with regard to all matters ,ho had felt more porploxelll\ud distressedduring these last few weeks than ho hadover been in his life before . All that had ,been said respecting the Central church

"

,

and the affections of the people'

towards ii

him ho believed to bo true , and his feelings towards them wero fully as aU'ection-ate , if not more so than those manifestedtowards him . No man could work ' . '

'amongst such a people as gathered roundhim without forming a very high estimate ".

;

of them . It required some courage totake up the ministry ill the Central church . ' _ .

!

at the time he did . Some of the mem- ;:

bois of that church felt thajt in cail- ; : '

ing him they were incurring , .-

too rcla responsibility . Theyasked where the salary was to cOllie from

,that others had undertaken to raise . A.

little baud of 120 members undertook the .

responsibility . lIe could not but form a , :,

high estimate of the men and women who ' :': were ready to shoulder the burden , liar .

: :; ing very little personal acquaintance with

., .

_

him and not knowing what might be the :

result ' of his ministry . The past seven .years had been very happy aid fruitful Jyears to him . [Ho did not estimate the .

'_gainin ,

. ,

though they were necessary elements , but .by the spiritual results . Ho iwas

. J ;

bound to a large number of the members "

ef that congregation by a tie which c uldIik. ,

: ;privilege : :,

chul'cha large number who are now its :strength and mainstay , and who will borr-' :"

the strength! and support of it in years to , ..t ,.conic . It was that fact which rendered .

" ,,

the very thought of breaking 'the tie.

.: '.ialmost unbearlblclnd if the call ,

;" 1 '

had come to him from n congl'cgl1t;tion equally stronger of equal jim

: :''

thummgVlncn .:

,"i: ' ' , : ' .

.

" . - \pleto surprise , and it was an appeal which : '. :

lie did not see that as a servant of Christ ' "; ho could reject without full consideration . 'He had considered it on his knees mid

i considered it night and day . Even as lie. .

:' . .)

stood there ho felt how solemn was the t.'

:

,

task laid upon him of deciding the matter . ' :

Victoria might never bo tim place some ,

persons expected it would become . Ho . .,;,

would lose a great many advantages by '. : :'accepting the call . St . Andrews church ,

, ,:

had been Buffering for many years , and '

.: i

,

little was known of its possibilities . The ' :

! call was only signed by fifty-eight mcmI,

bore and ninety-one adherents . As far as '; his work was concerned in Toronto , ho could .sec that under lads blessing it would :

go on and prosper , for it was a simplermatter for a congregation to increase : 'when it is already strong than to increasefrom a small beginning . Therefore , if ho .

looked at the relative value of the positions , it would seem that his present .

charge was tine more desirable one . The .

question was , where was ho wanted, mostand whore could he spend the life Godhad given him in the best way for Hiscause ? He was thankful there was no ' .

selfish advantage to bo derived from ac-cepting time call . Ho had no sympathy . ,

with those who found fault with ministers .

for accepting calls which open up easiercircumstances to them and relieve them,

of some of the cares of life . In tho'prcs-cut case ho had simply to consider whetherthe loss time Central Church % 'tt1Itiststaimiwould be counterbalanced by the gain toSt . Andrews Church, , Victoria . Ho be ¬

lieved the Central Church contained largonumber of loyal nnd devoted mom bom .

,

Under a now pastor there might bo a '

large increase which would moro than ,. .

.

compensate for the slight falling oft Hocould neb tell but that God had some ser ¬

vant who would do a fur mightier wok . .uu

in that church . If it might not bo cotimmsidered cowardly he would like to sit downand leave tine Presbytery to

s-ay what ho

ought to do . He could say that , as faras lie saw his way nt that moment , )lie be ¬

lieved it to bo hia duty to make the ' sacriflee and to go as the minister to St . An- , .

drew's church . That was what his dutyseemed to bo , but ho was a loyal servant .

of the church , and wanted to do what wasright . With that expression of Iiis mindho would leave himself iu the hands of his .

brethren One of time saddest things inconnection with tim matter would be theseverance of the bonds of fellowshipwhich united him to his brethren in thiscity .
