Hamilton Conference seeks change to marriage law in Ontario
The Hamilton Conference urged the government to amend marriage law to allow marriages anywhere in Ontario or within twelve miles of a place of marriage, replacing the current county or municipality restriction. Major-General Hughey announced a new force of about 13 000 men for the army, bringing Canada’s active service to around 130 000. The synod discussed total abstinence during wartime, Bishop Hwesny praising examples and urging temperance as a permanent habit beyond politics.
