The next ineeting will be held March 28, 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. Woodstock. The Conference theme will be "Loving This World" (Stewards of a Vi- sion), with Dr. Douglas J. Hall, McGill University, Mon- treal, as theme speaker. 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.

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 climbs atop a stool, jerks open the door and deftly catches a glass that comes tumbling out. Stretching on tiptoes, she feels to the back of the top. shelf which is, of course, 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.
