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.

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."

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- OTALSTA -prtval of> their, _ our co initeee hasrebv+ia wse.d these s lggestious,., and has; also taken account of the seam nical developments which have taken place since the initiation, � t, Of these e Conversations, We haverticlp- ated Jo: the ferinatioo o the' Can- adian. Connell of 'Churches in 1943, the World Council of Churches at Arristerdain •n 1946,, the Faith and 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 young .and- aid �. ,�•. , .. .;.: The third annual fall sale of the Huron Hereford Association held last Thursday in the Clinton fair barns saw 31 wh&iterfaced cattle sell for $8,470, au average of $13.33.

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." THE ALBION one of many fine styles -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. . What ,•.� ...... " ,errs:, ., •.� ,�. do you want most?
