don Synod of the „presbyterkan

was held at Windsor last week.

elled at the church and its pro-
fessional ministry.. The cnurch
must realize that the profes-
sional ministry is .cut off from
many areas of Cernmon life."
He added fihat ministers should
be confronted with the task of
equipping the laity in their
struggle to became good Chris-
tians. By doing this, he stated,
a new birth will came into the
life of the church.
- "The ,,greate.9t challenge, fac-
ing modern Christian man lies
in his ability to apply practical
service to the needy," Very
Rev. H. A. M,c,Mililan, moderator
of the General Assenibly of the
Preslbyterian Church, said. This
means becoming involved with
people and their needs no mat-
ter what they may need, Dr.
McMillan added. "In order to
do this one must cross racial,
economic- and social boundar-
ies," he stated.
Among district personnel ap-
pointed to the various boards
