The subject of the Reunion ,of
the Churches is briefly •outlined in
the following press release from
the Rt. Rev. G. N. Luxton, Bishop
of Huron. This is followed by a
report of the ••calrumittee on the
Reunion of Christendom by the
Rt. Rev. William Hallam, assistant
Bishop of Huron.
Dear Mr. Editor:
The niajority of your readers
are interested in all matters relat-
ing to the Reunion of th,e Churches
and to the increase of the spirit of
unity in Christendom. ' Recently,
the Executive Council of the
Church of England in Canada :met
in the City of Toronto. An early re-
port was printed in one of the 'Tor-
onto papers with a very misleading
headline attached implying that
our Anglican Bishops felt that
there is already "too''much frater-
nization" between the Ministers
and the congregations of the Pro-
testant Churches. Those who read
below the headline would find in
the body of the report no support
for this thought, except possibly
the following mild comment:
"The House of Bishops views
with concern the tendency to
multiplication of special ser-
vices which are too casually
given the name `ecumenical'
and which interfere with the
due observance of the Church
Year."
The Bishops also commended to
our Church generally a fuller par-
ticipation by our congregations in
the Week of Prayer services at the
beginning of the year, and in ser-
vices particularly designed for the
increase of unity among Christian
people. -
We are ,concerned, however, re-
garding the increasing assaults up-
on our treasured sequence of the.

Church's year. Almost every or-
ganization of the country semis
to be recommending that a Sunday
be set -side for special commend-
ation; and, indeed, we find that
the Christmas season is now usher-
ed in by the stores dt the beginning
of December with the concurrence
of many of the Churches, and to
the great loss of our Anglican
people. We have always believed
in the quiet, penitential approach
to the Christmas Festival provided
by our Advent Season. We wish
to retain for our Anglican people
the ordered, balanced, progress of
the Church's year, which presents,
to our people for the first half of
the year the person of our Lord
Jesus Christ and the great events'
of His ministry, and for the second
half of the year (the summer
season), Christ's teaching regard-
ing discipleship and the daily life
of 'the Christian. -
Since there may have been mis-
understanding of our purposes on
thepart of our friends of the
other Churches, Iam including in
this letter the full text of the re-
port ad'dpted by our Executive
Committee. on the subject of the
Reunion of Christendom, and sign-
ed by our own Assistant Bishop,
the Rt. Rev. W. T. Hallam, the
Chairman of 'our Committee on
Reunion. Readers will notice that
not only are we anxious to con-
tinue our conversations - with our
United,- -Church friends,- but..w. e
are also anxious to broaden • the
field of our endeavour so that we
may increase in understanding and
friendship with the „other Christian
bodies, who, with''us, have accepted
membership in the Canadian Coun-
cil of Churches and in the World
Council of Churches, and who are
thereby' committed to a pro-
gramme of increasing friendship
and co-operation.
I shall greatly appreciate the use
of your columns in order that our
friends of the other Protestant
Churches may have the full text
of our Report, and may be assured
that we are anxious to pursue with
them a sincere and vigorous search
for "the unity of the world-wide
Church of God."
Sincerely yours,

Bishop of Huron,

CHRISTENDOM
The Committee on the Reunion
of Christendom desires to inform
the members of the Executive
Council that the Conversations
with the United Church of Canada,
authorized by General Synod in
1943, have reached a point .of in-
effectiveness after it became ap-
parent that the scheme for a
Mutually Acceptable Ministry was
not receiving support in either of
our Churches. Therefore, an a•ll-
clay conference between the Ex-
ecutive portions of the two com-
mittees was called fast June with
thirty in attendance. There were
three possible courses proposed,
(1) To suspend or terminate the
Conversations; (2) To consider the
matter at large; (3). To attempt to
work out a combination of Epis-
copacy and the Conciliar system as
an ideal for the future. The con-
ference expressed a preference for
the last, and agreed to seek ap-

Order Conference at Lund in 1952,
and the Second Assemt►1y of the.
World Council at Evanston'' in 1954.
These discussions have opened up
new lines of thought for the -Chris-
tians of the world.' The magni-
tifde of the problems involved has
become more apparent. The divis-
ions_ between the Churehoa are
,,ftiound t'o ge deeper than was sup-
posed. The task before us is
ecumenical, in slope; • it is • the
realization in actual experience of
the Unity of the world-wide Church
of God; and, through this adven-
ture in fellowship, worship and
study, the Churches have really
begun to grow together as' a result
of these personal contacts.
It is along these lines of ecum-
enical context that your Committee
on Reunion proposes the continu-
ance of conversations, with the
concurrence of the United Church
Committee.
Your Committee expresses the
hope that our Church across the
Dominion will continue to co-oper-
ate actively in the CanadiansCoun-
ell of Churches, in local Councils
of • Churches, where their constitu-
tions are in accordance with the
Constitution of the Canadian Coun-
cil of Churches;' and in such other
bodies as may be approved for
fellowship, co-operation or study.

SANTA A NATIVE OF NEW
YORK
Most people -don't know ' that
Santa Claus, as we• know him, to-
day, is really a native of New York.
The Dutch settlers brought him
r'o New Amsterdam as a pale -faced
ascetic, dressed in his antique
bishops' robes. But after New
Amsterdam 'became New York,
Clement Moore transformed the
charitable saint—and it seems St.
Nicholas liked the change too-
into a rosy-cheeked, • plump and
jolly old man with reindeer and
sleigh to bring presents to all good,
little boys and girls.
At the same time, St. Nicholas
was promoted from his own .Janu-
ary 6th to Christmas itself or
rather the Night Before' Christmas.
His fame quickly spread to other
lands, and in Holland and Germany
as well as in England he instantly
became popular as the secret dis-
penser„ of holiday. presents .to

CHRISTMAS SKIES SAID. TO
FORETELL WEATHER FOR YEAR
Country people in parts of Bri-
tain still watch the sky on Christ-
mas Eve and Christmas Day for
signs of a change in the weather,
for there is an ancient belief that
the weather at this time is a strong
potent of that to come throughout
the year.
"Wise and cunning masters of
astrology," we are told, "have
found that a man 'may see and
mark for the weather for Holy
Night how the whole' year after
shall be." When Christmas night
was clear and starry, it was taken
that the year's crop of fruit and
wine would be a ,plentiful one,
On the other hand, if Christmas
night was foul and windy, the year 1
to come would be "very scant of
wine fi�id' fruit."
If " tl& wired arose at the rising
sun then "it betokeneth great
dearth of cattle and beasts this
year," if the wind arose at sunset
"it signifies death to some, hong
the kings and great lords."

-Diabetes
Diabetes has been known to medi-
cal science for thousands of years, but
only since 1922 ;have doctors been
able to treat it successfully. The tre-
mendous advance was due to the dis-
covery of_ insulin in Toronto by F. G.
Bariting in collaboration with J. J. R.
McLeod and C. H. Best.
The diabetic, who once was doomed
to certain early death, today can live
as long—or longer
— than the non-
,diabet•ic person.
. Insulin, a hormone
that is extracted
from the glands of
slaughtered ani-
mals, is vital to the
utilization of sugar
,by the bod
itn diabetes the patient's body can-
not produce sufficient quantities of
this hormone, with the result that the
• whole bodily mechanism is thrown
out of kilter. Injections of insulin cor-
rect this condition as long as they
are continued.
Most cases of diabetes occur dur-
ing later life—after the age of 40.
One of the most serious complications
of diabetes in elderly people is hard-
ening of the arteries. This results in
a reduced blood supply, especially to'
the legs and feet, and may pave the
way for crippling infections. Recent-
ly an English doctor reported that
terramycin was suiccessful in treating
70 elderly -diabetics suffering from
various infections.
Of course, thereare still advances
that can be made and new prepara-
tiona,e worked `bn•.continuously. A
new compound of insulin with zinc
solutio has recentlybeen devised'.
This produces~ a'h�iglevel of. blood
sughf during the day and a low level
iluring the 'might .and morning, timdd
to the needs of the patient. .
