to get gifts to right people
Reaction to criticism of
the World Council of
Church’s gift to Zimbabwe’s
Liberation Front was ex
pressed by the division of
World Outreach and Jtev.
Len Harbour at Huron-Perth
Presbytery of the United
Church of Canada. The ses
sion was held at Dungannon
United Church.
Rev. Harbour, executive
secretary of London
Conference said that the
•church makes a serious
attempt to see that its gifts
get to the right people'. This
is done through the church
rather than governments.
The Conference statement
says that we need to realize,
that the church and every
other charitable body
always runs the risk of hav
ing its compassionate gifts
abused. The $85,000 gift, $3,-
800 from the United Church,
• was to be used for a food,
health, social educational
and agricultural program.
It coincided with news of
guerilla activity. The
Liberation Front, among
others, was blamed.
Presbytery’s Division of
World Outreach indicated
that the World Council of
churches has no reason to
believe that the grant did not
go for its intended purpose.
The reaction was to what
was described as an un
favourably biased interview
on CTV’s W5.
Following up the reactions
was Rev. Bruce Eaton’s en
couragement to support the
Mission and Service fund.
The Sebringville minister
explained from his personal
experience why it was im
portant to have missionaries
in the field.
In reporting on the fund
Rev. Earl St. John, Auburn,
stated that Huron-Perth’s
contribution to the end of
October was 50% below es
timates. “Some of us see the
fund as a luxury. We must
not retrench in 79,” he said.

Rev. Harbour stated that of
’ the 215 eligible charges 170
I had responded, 135 in the af-
' firmative. A significant
i number of Huron-Perth
charges had not responded,
he indicated.
Commenting on the
Presbytery’s Resource Cen
tre in Mitchell Dr. Gordon
Hazelwood in his evaluation
report said it was a most
worthy project and arm of
the church and most deser
ving of a subsidy. He also
recognized the contribution
of Tom Mantle, the Centre’s
manager. Presbytery sanc
tioned the subsidy.
Rev. Norman Pick, On
tario St. United. Clinton and
chairman Harold Knisley,
Goderich reviewed a report
on the task force of the
ministry. Mr. Pick opened-
up a discussion with a series
of questions in which there
was active participation.
The court decided to pursue
the report in January.
Rev. Bert Daynard, Staf-
fa, stated the adviseability
of Trustee Boards taking in
ventory of lands, building
and equipment and keeping
up to date.
The proposed budget for
1979 of $41,160 was adopted.
The figure represents a
reduction over this year of
$1,860 and amounts to $2.15
per resident member.

Now, more than ever before it's
important to buy gold from a
jeweller you know and trust.
With the steady increases in the price of gold it's not difficult to understand why gold
jewellery is one of the finest gifts you can give. When purchasing gold jewellery keep
in mind that the value of what you're purchasing will vary with the weight of the gold
and the amount of workmanship that has gone into the item. Don't be misled by
advertisements proclaiming gold for sale at half price or other supposedly fantastic
bargains. Gold is worth exactly what the international gold market says it is and it's
very unlikely for any jeweller to sell it for less. Earl Campbell in Exeter has developed a
reputation for selling quality jewellery at fair prices. When you're shopping for gold
you can't ask for anything better than that.
GOLD RINGS — Signet rings, diamond rings, eternity rings, dinner
rings, etc. GOLD PENDANTS - gold chain, lockets, precious stones, etc.
