Pastor Of Local Dutch Church
Helps Immigrants To District
* Six weeks ago, the first set-I
vice of the Dutch Reformed *
Church for this district was held i
on a Sunday afternoon in James
Street United Church. At that
time there were 32 new Dutch-
Canadians in attendance and
since then, the congregation has
more than doubled.
Pastor, the Rev. C. M. Eelman
came to Exeter two months ago
after having successfully estab
lished a branch of the Church
in Bedford. His job in the past
years has been one of employ
ment agent, real estate agent,
public relations officer as well
as minister for Dutch immi
grants.
It is through his church that
they are sponsored, established
with homes and positions and
more important encouraged to
learn English and live as true
Canadians.
In an article written explaining
the Dutch Reformed Church Mr.
Eelman suggests a similarity to
the Presbyterian Church of Cana
da. "Contrary to recent belief,"
he states, “the Reformed Church
is not a different cult or relig-
ous order apart from the
Christianity Canada knows best.

“It is an historic Church. Its
name indicates as much, while
at the same time it defines its
position in the sisterhood of
Evangelical Churches, It belongs
to the great body of the Reform
ed who, in the religious revolu
tion of the sixteenth century, re
nounced allegiance to the church
of Rome and reorganized the
Church of Christ on a distinctly
Scriptural basis.
"The Reformed Church was
planted o n North American
shores in 1613 by early Dutch
settlers and it is today, one of
the oldest Protestant churches
on the Contenent.
"In point of
Calvenistic, thus
of God than of
of Salvation. It
mighty on the throne, it exliaults
Divine Sovereignty without les
sening the Divine love and it
magnifies God’s Grace but sees
nothing in man to deserve it. It
represents man as helpless and
hopeless without Jesus Christ, but
assures on condition of his per
sonal faith in Christ, a salvation
that is absolute and perpetual
and from which there is no fall
ing away.
"The doctrinal standards of
the Reformed Church include
the Belgic Confession, the Heidel
berg Catechism, both dating back
to 1562, and the Cannons of the
Synod of Dordrecht. These con
tain the doctrines of the Reforma
tion and are in harmony with the
standard of the church of Eng
land and the Westminster Con
fession of faith
"The Reformed Church insists
on love and loyalty to the Word
of God. Its motto is ‘the Bible

doctrine, it is
making more

alone, the religion of
ants.'
"Dutch immigrants
coming to Canada are
with them their loyal
Christ and their church. And in
the desire of the Church to esta-
bish these people lies the rea

"The truths of the Scriptures
as we believe them and as our
forefathers believed them re
main the same in English and it
is with great pleasure that the
Church is able to minister to the
Dutch folk as they make their
new homes here.
"Most Dutch people are very
anxious to learn the language of
this country as shown- by their
attendance of English classes
at Exeter District High School.
"We of tlm Dutch Reformed
Church appreciate the kindness
of the'Pastor and the congrega
tion of James St. United Church
in allowing us the use of the
building every Sunday. We pray
that by the help of God we may
always remain true to the Word
of God and Orthodox in its inter
pretation."
Dutch immigrants may be
divided into three religious or
ders, Reformed, Catholic and
Christian Reformed.
