Church news The Rev Elwood Morden conducted the morning worship on Ascension Sunday at the Granton United Church. He entitled his sermon "In the Mean- time". It is very difficult for us to assimilate the meaning of the Ascension of Christ if we talked on the Ascension today, I wonder what kind of answers will be given. I am in favor of redeeming the Ascension as a Christian festival, said the minister. I would like to give two reasons for this, (1) a better understanding of the sym- bols, the cloud was the symbolf of God's unique presence, Jesus will come in the same way. (2) Christ parted from His disciples, but he was ever present, with them as He is with all people. A wall clock presented by the Granton C.G.I.T. was dedicated and is to hang on the wall of the Sunday Schoolroom, this is to replace the former clock, which is no longer ser- viceable. At St. Thomas Anglican Church, The Rev Greg Smith officiated at the service of baptism and was the Celebrant of the Holy Eucharist, assisted by Miss Marion Herbert. The epistle was read by Betty Anne Herbert and Mrs. Lois Herbert. In the service of baptism, Brett Quincy, son of Mr and Mrs. Roger Harmsworth Outlines challenge for church college Dr. Wm Fennell spoke to the congregation of the Ex- eter United Church on Sun- day morning. Dr. Fennell is one of the professors and directors of Emmanuel College in Toronto which is the largest of the United Church Theological schools in Canada and where almost half of the ministers of the United Church receive their basic education and training. Dr. Fennell reported that for the first time in half a century, Emmanuel College has found it necessary to seekfinancial assistance through direct appeal to the churches of the four central conferences - Hamilton, received the sacrament of baptism. Mr and Mrs. George Westman were the Godparents. In the children's time, Rev Smith's homily was on the three special gifts pertaining to baptism -- a new identity - a new family, and a new London, Manitou, and Toron- to. He said that this year there are 200 students in basic and degree courses and for the first time the enrolment of new students was having to be limited because of the lack of teaching staff and a very high student staff ratio. Between 1969 and 1979 the enrolment was up 100% while the staff complement declined from 13 to 9 members. Three new staff members would have to be added. The minimum objective is $2,000,000.00 of which three quarters would come from the four conferences. General Council designated the period to raise the funds as 1980 to 1983. While it is a matter for each congregation to decide and report on its self designated allocation it was pointed out that an accep- tance of $3.50 per local envelope subscriber per an- num or $10.50 for the three years would just produce the $15,000.00. 1. More candidates for the ministry are coming to the doors of Emmanuel College than ever before in its 50 year history. Surely this is great news and a challenge that must be met. The $10.50 per family over a period of three years seems very little when one considers the i potential contribution it will make to the life and work of the church in the future.
