MintSterial Association.
The monthly meeting of the South
Huron Ministerial Association was held
Monday afternoon, in the Main Street
Methodist Church. Rev. Geo, Jackson
.occupied the chair and after opening
exercises, the minutes of the last meet-
ing were read and confirmed. Ar-
rangements being made for the Febu-
ary meeting, the members present then
read brief outlines of sermon in Isa, 63,
1, and a very profitable discussion
followed. Rev. W. M. Martinintroduc-
ed the subject of the "Origin of Life."
He said the Origin of life was as mys-
terious as life Itself: It was difficult to
give a correct definition of life and
quoted Huxby and Tyndall. But life
was different from simple matter.
There was no life without matter, but
there was matter without life. The
ancient theory of the eternity of matter
and also the more modern atomic the-
ory were considered as was also that
of spontaneous: generation. The speak-
er admitted there were great difficulties
surrounding the subject, and that the
simple fact of creationism is the safest
and best on which to stand. This great
subject was discussed pro. and con.,
but all the members felt there was here
a deep unfathomable mystery about it.
The meeting closed with the benediction
by the Rev. W. H. Butt to meet again
in the James Street Church the first
Monday in January. •
