HomeMy WebLinkAboutTimes-Advocate, 1978-12-07, Page 13Church makes attempt 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. Reporting on an investiga- Now Open at 365 William St. JOANNE'S ® HOUSE Hairstyling J tion of a health plan for I ministers in the conference 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. MR. AND MRS.

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.
