If council is billed for the actual flow, they will then remit all revenue collected by the sewer service collections and then request the Ministry to issue a credit for the amount not paid at the end of the year, and ef- fectively wipe this off the books. It was decided to sendaletter to the County engineer's depart- ment requesting them to come to Lucan to study the possibility and facets of erecting "No Parking Here To Corner" signs at various locations in the village. At the same time, Bert Thompson, work foreman of the village, asked council to pass a bylaw to keeppars off the street in early morning hours enabling him to sweep, This would affect only the paved streets, he pointed out. He does the sweeping Tuesday and Friday morning. It was pointed out, however that a bylaw would have to be drawn up and given three readings before it could become law. Councillors decided to try it without a bylaw, asking only the co-operation of residents and businesses. • "But we will pass a bylaw if necessary," said the Reeve. The streets are cleaned between 5 and 8 a.m. Councillors also learned that it will cost approximately $800 to provide street lights on Alice St, They will have to have new poles and new brackets, but will be able to use the four-foot fluorescent lights formerly on Main St. Clerk Mrs. M. Gibson was requested to write Union Gas stating that they have council's permission to build a small building below the tower, with certain stipulations. The, hydro must be underground to the building and the location of the building must be to the satisfaction of the village of Lucan. Mrs, Gibson and Mrs. Goddard are to attend a meeting at Strathroy concerning proper fill- out of admission forms to Strath- mere Lodge. A donation of $25 was to be made to Middlesex 4-H clubs. At a special meeting held in March, the following representatives were appointed to the arena board: Fred Lewis from London township; Ken Carter, from McGillivray; Gerry Van Busse], Biddulph; Robert Taylor and Keith Dickson from Lucan; and W. Mathers and Harry Wraith from the council. Mr. Wraith is the chairman. The proposed union of the Anglican, United and Christian (Disciples of Christ) Churches in Canada has emerged in the form of a "Plan of Union", Some members of the clergy are concerned that their parishioners do not completely understand the plan. In order to clarify sections of the plan, the minister of the Anglican church in Kirkton is doing a series of articles, with explanation and comment. This is the fourth article in the series. + + + By R.N. SAVARY Af ter the statements on "Faith" and "Mission" comes the section of the "Plan" dealing with Membership, Full mem- bership is conferred by baptism with water in the name of the Trinity. The idea that a person only becomes a member by "Joining the church" at some time after baptism is not ad- mitted. There is only one level of membership, and this is brought about by baptism. This rule is certainly scriptural. (This is not to make membership mechanical — it is simply the use of sacramental language, and the Bible is full of it.) But then the question arises: what is the proper age for bap- tism? It is at this point that the Disciples. Church makes its sacrifice for the sake of unity. Their conscientious practice has been "believer's baptism", that is, that candidates should only be baptised on the confession of their personal faith. But for the sake of Christian unity, the Disciples have agreed that the baptism of the children of believing, practising parents is admissible for those who desire it, — provided that no parent or minister with convictions against it shall have to accept or ad- minister infant baptism. If a minister cannot conscientiously administer infant baptism, he will arrange for another minister to officiate when the need arises in his pastoral ministry. There is another safeguard for the emphasis which lies behind the position of the Disciples, and it should be welcomed by all Christians. That is the statement that before an infant is batpised, "There shall be reasonable assurance that the candidate will be nourished within the com- munity of faith". It should be noted too that the parents or other sponsors must have made profession of their own faith and "have been adequately in- structed in the meaning of baptism". If parents want their child baptised they must be part of the life of the church, them- selves, and be willing to accept its responsibilities. Article 36 in the "plan" is one that may cause many of us in each uniting church to pause and think. It states "The sacrament of Holy Communion is open to those who have been baptised and who have received such preparation and instruction as are suitable to their age." This implies that very small children may receive the sacrament. In the Anglican Church in England there is at present a strong movement to re-consider the whole matter of admission to the Holy Communion. The proper age for baptism, for con- firmation, for receiving the Holy Communion, are all under discussion, and a concensus seems to be developing that (1) baptism, at whatever age, admits to full membership, and therefore (2) a baptised Christian is qualified to receive the Holy Communion "as soon as he learns his table manners", and (3) the commitment which is now required at confirmation or "joining the church" should be postponed from the beginning of puberty to a more mature age. This same question is under serious discussion in the Canadian churches as well, and the "Plan" shows the conclusions reached on the "ecumenical" level. These articles on "Mem- bership" take for granted an- swers to these problems which have become acceptable to a great many present-day Christians. In reality, there is nothing in the articles which will prevent any congregation from continuing whatever it is ac- customed to, with very minor modifications. Articles 39, 40 and 41 are the outlines of adult baptism, infant baptism, and confirmation respectively. These three or- dinances should be administered within the context of Holy Communion if possible. A congregation should always be present. The signing with the cross is included in baptism, which may be either by im- mersion or by pouring but not by sprinkling. The laying on of hands (which is the constituent of confirmation) is included in adult baptism, and suggested in infant baptism. It may be ad- ministered by a presbyter (the normal parish minister) or by a bishop. Confirmation is regarded as commissioning for service in the world, and consists of the laying on of hands with the in- vocation of the Holy Spirit. Whether these articles mean that when a person receives the laying on of hands as a child in baptism, he will receive it again at con- firmation as a young adult, is not clear to the writer of this article. There is probably no reason why not! After all, this symbolic act is used on numerous occasions in the life of the church. It is worth noting in the light of Anglican history that con- firmation is regarded as un- suitable as an action by which a qualified member is received when transferring from another FISHERMAN'S COVE GRAND BEND 63 RIVER ROAD CHICKEN & CHIPS ••• FISH & CHIPS •••• SHRIMP & CHIPS ETC.

The "Plan" stresses the fact that being a Christian means more than going to church on Sundays and knowing the right words to express one's piety. It demands the living of the Christian life during the week. In this section the final article is something new for those who enter the Church of Christ in Canada from the Disciples or the United Church. It recognizes the contribution that may be made through the dedication of the members of religious orders (monks and nuns), Anglicans are used to the presence of such orders wit-in the church, although they are not very numerous. There are three small orders of women and one of men within the Anglican Church of Canada, and they would be ac- cepted within the re-united church. The Churches of North and South India,. which contain Canada, also make a place for the same traditions as will the orders such as' these, and have proposed Church of Christ in found their contribution valuable,. b 'or
