1446 THE CHURCH IN THE DOMINIONS [PART VII ment in 1896 has led to a more satisfactory relation between Church and State, and papal influence has been directed against interference in politics, but there are signs that difficulties may arise in the future, as the Church in Quebec is credited with no enthusiasm for the military and naval projects of the Dominion Government, and in 1910 the Drummond and Arthabasca election was carried by them, and against Sir W. Laurier’s nominee. The extraordinary position occupied by Rome in Canada was seen in 1909 when the first Plenary Council was held there by command of the Pope, followed in 1910 by the Eucharistic Congress. The Governor-General was absent in the Hudson Bay territory, but the Administrator, Mr. Girouard, went out of his way to welcome the Legate, and soldiers in uniform met him, though in Parliament the Government spent its time in disavowing the official char- acter of these acts. The Legate himself, with good taste, proposed the royal health before that of the Pope. § 3. CHUrCH ENDOWMENTS 2 In the Constitution Acts of the self-governing Colonies it was customary at first that sums should be reserved for religious purposes, in the same way as they were reserved for the civil Government. In the case of North America the position was altogether peculiar. By the Act of 1791 (31 Geo. III. c. 31) it was intended to endow permanently the Church of England in Canada, and it was laid down by $s. 36-42 that the Governor might be authorized by His Majesty to make allotments of land within each province for the support and maintenance of Protestant clergy, so that whenever any grant of land was made in either province there should be a proportional appropriation of lands within the township or parish, or nearly adjacent to the township ' Cf. Canadian Annual Review, 1910, pp. 352, 8358; on the question of nealths, see Queensland Legislative Council Journals, 1876, p. 1031. ? Endowment is not establishment ; in the Crown Colonies, as a rule, there is no established Church, but the Churches are endowed ; see the return H. C. 306, 1910. The confusion of endowment and establishment in the discussions in the Commons (xviii. 1042) on June 29, 1910, is remarkable.
