Presbytery hears report on new mission) prb jest The one hundred delegates of the Huron -Perth Presbytery met last Wednesday in Mitchell and heard a report on a new program of evangelism coming to the Wingham area, Aprill3th through 18th. The program is called "On the Spot T. V. Mission" and consists of a question and an- swer period dilly runs for one • half hour daily though the six days. The questions which range • from anything to everything, but which usually centre around the church, the Bible, or the relationship between religious denominations, come from a studio audience of 35 and view- ers who phone in during the broadcast. The answers • come from the Rev. Harold Burgess. of Hyde Park United Church, Toronto. Any questions not an- swered on the broadcast will be answered by letter by Mr. Burg- ess. • Mr. Burgess has conducted • such "On the Spot Missions" in • Barrie, Kingston, Sault Ste. Marie, North Bay and Peterbor- ough. The Mission will be fi- nanced jointly by the United Church's board of Evangelism and Social S ery ic e and the. Singtime Association. Sing - time is a half hour weekly T. V. Broadcast sponsored •by the area Presbyteries of the United Church of Canada on CKNX-TV, Winham, The Rev. Laird Stiri= ing of Lucknow United Church, Ev Smith, London Conference director of broadcasting and Bill Conron, program co-ordin- ator of Singtime made the pres- entation to the Presbytery. . Dr. R. B. Craig, the co- chairmari of the National Com- mission on Church Union gave a progress report on union be- tween the Anglican and United Churches. Dr. Craig said that the Commission which at one time had been accused of going too slow. was now being accused, of going too fast in its discus- sions. He suggested .the 'reason was that Church Union was now being faced as a very real pos- sibility within this decade. 19'12 is the date for a plan of - union 'and, said Dr. Craig, "we are right on schedule.

These are the traditional ways of com- mitting suicide. They a r e quick. There are slower ways of cutting a few years off one's life and thousands-- about ten thousand Canadians a year -- take this way of leaving their family and friends prematurely. They smoke a package or more of cigarettes daily. They do this despite the urg- ing of medical societies; vol- untary health agencies and very often their personal physicians. .For at least 12 years these warnings have been quite clear. One of the first, the Doll -Brad- ford Hill Report, was published in 19 57 in the tish Medical Journal, 'surely a sufficiently august paper to impress anyone.. Next came the report of the Surgeon General of the United States, an even more extensive study. There was nothing un- certain about the findings. They pointed out that smoking cig- arettes increased the danger of cancer of the lung, cancer of the bladder, heart disease, em- physema and chronic bronchitis enormously. . The reply of the smokers al- most uniformly is, "Well,you have to die of something. " • The Canadian Tuberculosis Respiratory Disease Association has something to say in reply to that. You may have to live with emphysema, which means living, but struggling for every breath, for years and years. There are people with emphysema who must be waited on like invalids, month after month. It isn't pleasant for them or those around them. In fact it is pitiful. Eight out of ten of the victims of this dis- ease; have been cigarette smok- ers. To anyone who smokes habit- ually the Canadian TB -RD As- sociation says "Go to the near - est TB -RD Association and get a pamphlet Emphysema: The Facts or You're Breathing Troubles!.
