I am not saying it is wrong, but the time has come for a second look at that to be taken." Rev. C. Lewis, of Auburn, said; "I don't like bringing up what happened years ago and how we got swindled, if we did. The M & M department is now taking a look at this picture-- in fact, they have always done this-but in eastern Canada a new plan is being tried: the superintendent of home mis- sions becomes the M & M man on the scene. I do not think that is fair, but we are asking our men in secretarial positions to stay up long hours. We have a tendency here at home to be very critical. On the other hand, they are doing something about it and trying to save a salary- I say by killing a man." The first canal locks between Lakes Huron and Superior at Sault Ste. Marie were opened in 1799; they were needed to ac- commodate the fur traders' freighter canoes, some of which carried 12 paddlers and two tons of freight. Lewis. She gave different ex- pressions to each verse of "The Stranger of Galilee" which was very effective. The three closing organ num- bers included, "To a Wild Rose", by MacDowell, a slow piece with a nice flute solo stop; "The Swan" by Saint- Saens with an effective oboe stop and the Triumphal March by Tchalicovsky. Keith Holmes, whopersonally supervised the building of the organ, was present at the reci- tal and was commended by Mr. Lewis for his careful work. He said he was just as painstaking in building the innermost cor- ners of the organ, that no one will ever see, as he was with the finishing touches. Rev. S. E. Lewis opened and closed the program which pro- vided an afternoon of great music. Floor Sanding and Carpenter Work rSauble Queen' SEE PAGE 8 BY COSSAR FOSTER Sunday was a special day in Exeter, providing a great treat for everyone who attended the recital on the new organ at James St. United Church. T. C. Chattoe, former organ- ist at Metropolitan C h u r c h, London, presided at the console of the instrument built by the Holmes Organ Co., London. Mr. Chattoe was ably assisted by Mrs. Monica Lewis, London, soprano soloist. Mr. Chattoe opened his pro- gram with the Trumpet Tune by Jeremiah Clarke in which the trumpet stop was very effective. Prelude and Fugue was a heavy, full-tone number by the famous composer, J. S. Bach. The "Al- legro, by John Stanley, was a speedy number well done. Mrs. L6WIS demonstrated fault es:: breathing in Liddle's, "The My Shepherd", a difficult solo. Her good phrasing allowed every word to be heard. Her "How Lovely are Thy Dwel- lings", by Liddle, showed care in preparation. Mr. Chattoe rendered three choral preludes by the famous Canadian composer, Dr. Healy Willan of Toronto. The first and last ones were quiet and soft and the second was loud, dem- onstrating well the beautiful tone of the organ. "The Voice in the Wilder- ness", by Scott, a heavy solo, was very well done by Mrs. Adopting a report of the mis- sionary and maintenance com- mittee, Huron presbytery of the United Church instructed that teams comprising a minis- ter and layman visit each of- ficial board in the jurisdiction, to "raise the sights of the congregation" in regard to the M and M fund. The executive committee had recommended an every- pastoral-charge visitation, and after discussion it was decided that the "team" project should also be the presbytery visita- tion. Said Rev. R. S. Hiltz, of Exeter, presiding in the absence through illness of Rev. W. J. ten Hoopen, Goderich: "The teams can deal with any specific matters which arise in the of- ficial boards and on which they want help from presbytery." The M and M report, pre- sented by Rev. C. A. Brittain, Grand Bend, showed presbytery receipts last year of $78,958.51, an increase of 1.98%. James Street, Exeter contributed $6,701, a slight increase; Main Street and Crediton $1,500, a decrease. Hensall contributed $4,030, Thames Road $2,116 and Centralia $899. Presbytery agreed to "accept and implement the Proportion- ate Responsibility Plan in 1964, and urges all ministers and laymen, M and M committees and official boards to do the 'r utmost to co-operate in this stewardship venture." Under the P. R. plan, each congregation "should make de- finite plans to increase the proportion of its responsibility beyond the congregation. Each self - sustaining congregation can endeavor to provide 50 cents for that aspect of the mission beyond the congregation for each dollar needed within the congregation. Strong congrega- tions certainly can look forward to giving at least as much money beyond the congregation as they use locally."
