It was the first meeting of the United Church court under its new chairman, the Reverend Norman Gibson, - Central, Stratford. The first speaker stated that delegates take time out to. attend the various courts but are not given the oppor- tunity to relay their findings to the local congregations. Another delegate indicated that this led to misunderstandings of the church's programs. He sug- gested that ministers should not be so possessive of their pulpits that time is not found to allow reports to, the local people. The discussion was a result of a special section on the agenda to allow lay delegates to express their views. The chairman found it necessary to admonish the clergy for entering the debate too frequently. Personnel changes The inductions of four new ministers to Huron -Perth were announced by the secretary, the Reverend Brian Elder: Robert Roberts, Dungannon; Robert Matheson, Thames Road; Bonny Smith, Auburn; and Cy Marzec, Fordwich. The Reverend Cecil Wittick was inducted at Calvary, Listowel. Wittick, a, past -chairman of Presbytery, transferred - from Blyth. Two additional charges will be served by students: Brucefield, Donald Moffat and Londesboro, Colin Swan. Ashfield and Millbank will continue to be served by ,students Arthur- Scott and David Steadman. • Robert Perry has- been ap- pointed Iay supply at Bluevale .while David McKnight will continue in the same capacity at Egmondville. George Cowan, formerly of Dungan- non, has been appointed tem- porary lay supply at Blyth. The Reverend Bruce Eaton was welcomed home from Somalia. He has been serving six months with In- ter Church Response. The in- ternationally recognized ex- pert on hand -drilling of wells reported some success despite the lack of good quality water. Eaton is now an Associate Minister at St. John's, Stratford. It was reported that Earl Thornton is off to Bella Bella on the British Columbia coastline. The Sebringville native is lending his exper- tise to renovate the hospital complex. It is his second stint this year at Bella Bella. Conference has been re- quested to transfer the Reverend Gordon Pickell from the roll of Essex to Huron -Perth Presbytery. Rev. Pickell has retired to Goderich. Finances outlined Stewardship chairman, the Reverend Alun Thomas, stated that the Mission and Service fund had exceeded its objective by 12 percent in 1981. Huron -Perth's goal for '82 has reached 50 percent. Workshops for church treasurers are being planned in three areas, the first in Trinity, Listowel on October 17. Amendments to the sales tax and their effect on chur- ches were outlined .. by Finance Chairman Charles Gates. Churches with finan- cial difficulties were urged to request block grants in the very near future. It was announced that General Council had set in- creases in ministers' basic salaries at six percent for 1983. This is a reduction from the 11 percent being con- sidered originally. - As part of the Mission in Canada • report, the Reverend Wilena Brown ap- pealed to delegates to priorize a November con- ference to evaluate what and how we teach our children. Concerns about youth and strategy for change will be part of the discussion. The committee announced that the disarmament question would be on the ballots in London, Mitchell and Strat- ford. Huron -Perth now has eight ministerial students. The status of each was outlined by the Reverend Harley Moore who also indicated there were 54 first-year students attending Em - manual College, the largest group in a number of years: The ,Grand Bend pastor ad- vised the clergy of an ad- ministration seminar at Westminster College in November. Robert Ball, in his com- munications report, clarified the Resource Centre's rela- f tionship with Canec, the United Church's publishing house. It was reported that there would bean open house at the Centre, October 16 at which two people from the South Pacific would be pre- sent. This is the area for Mis- sion Study in the United Church. Form separate charges Presbytery approved the request of the Whitechurch- Bluevale congregations to form separate pastoral charges. The arrangement is to be a temporary one. A fur- ther decision is to be made by Apri11983. The court was told that Brussels was considering selling its manse. The pro- perty committee indicated its willingness to meet with the charge. . During the lunch hour, two members of the Covenant group staged three skits. The Reverend Alex Filshie of the host church conducted wor- ship. Homemakers meet The Board of Directors for Town and Country Homemakers met for their monthly meeting at .the Presbyterian Church in Bluevale. Thea Trick gave a report on the display table at the Ciderfest in Seaforth. Two cakes were given away in a draw. The winners were Glen Rose of RR 3, Seaforth and Grace Dohnage of Seaforth.

It was reported by Jean Young that the Township of Tuckersmith had kindly donated the rental fee for the hall at Vanastra where the beef barbecue was held ear- ly this summer. Marie Bolton presented a report from the Council for Action on Alcohol and Drug Abuse, stating . that the Ad- diction Research Foundation indicated there are 1500 serious abusers of alcohol in Huron County. If there is a 10 percent penetration in the first year, it will be con- sidered a fantastic success. Jean Young, Executive Director, announced the Town and - Country Homemakers' first major fund raising campaign is off to a running start with a total of $6,326 to date already received as cash and pledges. The Reverend Terry Trites informed the board that the largest donation to date had been received from the Royal Bank. Brochures are ready, to be mailed to every householder in Huron County this week. Ugliness of heart shown BY HARRY VRIEND PASTOR, TRINITY CHRISTIAN REFORMED CHURCH Once in awhile something happens that really wakes you up to the ugliness in the human heart. One such event was the massacre •in Lebanon several weeks ago. The most eloquent testimony about man's inhumanity to man has recently come from Lebanon. It is a testimony that makes one shudder about the power of evil. One part that is shocking about those massacres, is that those who are believed to be responsible also carry the name "Christian". It is supposed that the so-called "Christian Right" is responsible for the crimes. We know that the persons MINISTER'S STUDY responsible were neither right nor Christian in what they did and unfortunately, there will be some who were coming closer to the Christian faith who will now hold back because of what these so-called "Christians" have done. We do well to remember that the word Christian is sometimes nothing more than a political slogan and that many groups have lost their right to carry that name. The Lord Jesus clearly said, "It has been said, "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth", but I say unto you...love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you..." Incidents such as those in Lebanon bear out, as nothing , else can, the truth about the depravity of man. The Bible does say, "There is none righteous...their feet are swift to shed blood, in their path are ruin and misery and the way of peace they do not know. There is no fear of God before their eyes." We should not need to hear aboutmassacres' to press that truth to our 'hearts. God's word makes it clear enough that the natural condition of each of us is that we are depraved and our paths too are ruin and misery. - God's word tells us that, because of our depravity, we stand in need of the forgiveness and power of Jesus Christ. Every crime is another reminder that • man needs the help of a Divine Saviour. Every evil deed is another reminder that our natural condition is depraved and we are lost unless the Lord finds us. It is possible that there are people who, win hearing of those awful deeds in Lebanon, may come to see that some ugly force is present in their own hearts and that they are in need of salvation. There are others who have not yet awakened to the ugliness of evil in their own lives. It is sad that with the evidence of evil all around, there are so many who see no need of healing in Jesus. The Lord speaks to us in all that happens in the world. In the ugly happenings in Lebanon, the Lord speaks to us all. I hear him reminding us of the reality of our fallen condition and our need for salvation. There is not one person who does not share in the fallen condition. The ugliness of sin has touched every life. We are all in need of the new nature from God. Everyone should be con- vinced of the need for renewal by the Lord Jesus. Have you become con- vinced of your need for salvation? David Nephew, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Nephew of Goderich and Brenda Zurosky, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Zurosky of Cranbrooke, B.C. were married September 4. Mr. and Mrs. Nephew attended the wedding which took place at the First Baptist Church, Calgary, Alberta. (R. J.

NewChristian Women's Club off to great start A new club, which com- bines the secular with the inspirational, is off to a great start in.this -area. .The Goderich and District 5 After Club, affiliated with the Christian Business and Professional Women's Council and the Christian Women's Clubs, was laun- ched Tuesday evening, September 28.
