Many seek
pulpit posts
A long listof ministers from
as far away as Hong Kong
and Armenia have applied for
acceptance into The United
Church of Canada, delegates
to the recent meeting of
Huron -Perth Presbytery were
told. According to the policy
of the Church, all such ap-
plicants must spend several
months serving within the
denomination, and their
names must be circulated
throughout the92presbyteries
from coast to coast.
The gathering, which took
place at St. Marys United
Church, had as its main
feature, a presentation by
Rev. John Roberts, Belgrave,
concerning Ventures in Mis-
sion, a major campaign laun-
ched in January and to run
until 1987. The aim of the
Church is to raise $40 million
dollars over and above pre-
sent givings.
A good portion of this would
be used to beef up the pension
fund for those who retired
prior to 1955, with other
amounts earmarked for new
church development and for•
redevelopmentinareaswhere
this is indicated. Mr. Roberts
shared insights from a paper
he wrote in which he drew an
interesting parallel between
the "Great . Collection"
described in II Corinthians
and Ventures in Mission. He
is a Deputy -Director of the
campaign for London
Conference.
in other business, the
presbytery heard that it had
exceeded its 1982 objective for
the Mission and Service Fund
by $39,000 - having raised in
all over $500,000. While most
of this figure was contributed
by the 72 congregations in its
bounds, 20% was given by
members of the United
Church Women.
The Division of Mission in
Canada presented camping
brochures for Camp
Menesetung, near Goderich,
and for Camp Bimini, near
Stratford. As well, the Divi-
sion is urging a pulpit ex-
change for the Week of
Prayer for January, 1984 - as
a means of making the issue
of Christian unity more
visible.
Toward the end of the day,
delegates engaged in a lively
discussion regarding the
nature of Presbytery
meetings. Several felt that the
business might be ab-
breviated and more time
given to presentations pro-
viding more spiritual input. A
committee was appointed to
give the matter further study.
Before leaving the meeting,
delegates were asked to pick
up copies of registration
forms for the 59th annual
meeting of the London Con-
ference, to he heldthe
weekend of May 13-15, at Cen-
tral United Church.

theme will be "Loving This

My husband has no talent
for cooking. He has trouble
with such simple tasks as
peeling potatoes or slicing
onions, even though he often
insists on helping me in the
kitchen.
Once he read a shopping
list on which I had written
"unhusked rice". "My word,"
he sighed, "what a job that's
going to be."

to clear the mess is to throw
everything back into the
drawer.
The storage cupboard is
usually the highest one in the
kitchen, located above the
stove, fridge or broom closet.
It's space in which seldom
used dishes are crammed.
It can be a source of embar-
rassment, if a hostess forgets
to retrieve Aunt Martha's
gravy boat until two minutes
before dinner.
While guests watch ap-
prehensively, the hostess

the door and deftly catches a

where Aunt Martha's gravy
boat has been pushed.
Clasping the dish gingerly
by its handle, she climbs
down and hurriedly moves to
the sink to "rinse the dust
off." Behind the sheepish
smile, she's vowing to clean
that cupboard tomorrow.
Cleaning the cupboard re-
quires a whole day of washing
dishes, scrubbing shelves,
replacing shelf paper and
rearranging dishes. A final
touch might be sticking a sign
on the outside of the door:
U.F.O. - Unidentified Falling
Objects".
Besides a "junk" drawer or
