Pro- fessor Allan L. Farris, MA, BD, M.TH., DD, Principal of Knox College, Toronto. Dr. Farris is a. native of Cole- vilie, Saskatchewan, and has served the Presbyterian Church in 'Canada with distinction as a churchman and scholar. He holds a BA from the University of Sas- katchewan, an MA in Philosophy from the University of Toronto; a BD and Th.M. from Knox Col- lege, Toronto, and has pursued graduate studies at the Universi- ties of Edinburgh, Geneva and Chicago. In recognition of his many contributions to the Church, Presbyterian College, Montreal, awarded a DD in 1973. After serving pastoral charges at Trail, B.C. and Nashville and Bolton, Ontario, he was appoint- ed to the Chair of Church History, Knox College, in 1952. He was appointed Principal of the Col- lege in 1976, the eighth to hold this position in the 120 -year history of the College. Principal Farris has served on many boards and com- Presbyterian Mission 1977 topic of Goforth meeting "The Nature of Missions To- day in the Presbyterian Church" was the topic of, the Goforth Evening Auxiliary meeting held in St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church. "Presbyterian Mission 1977" was presented by Mrs. Robert McKague; Mrs. Harold Congram and Mrs. John Norman. In almost every part of the world where the Presbyterian church serves, it is working in partnership in mission with the indigene* churches. One such way the church is serving is in Malawi, Tanzania and Nigeria. One of the greatest needs inthese countries is for fresh clean water. Many now have to walk over five miles to obtain some. Solutions to this problem range from encouraging the natives to iinbve their"' `villages `closer to the riverside to drilling wells and building water storage tanks and reservoirs under the direction of church leaders. In 1974 the Presbyterian church became a member of United Mis- sion to Nepal. Much of the work there involves the establishment of a=badly needed 20 -bed hospital.. The rugged terrain means very difficult long days of travel for the sick to reach a hospiatal. Tu- berculosis, whooping cough and diphtheria are prevalent. In Canada the mission work of the Presbyterian church is con- ducted through the Special Minis- tries Department. This work is wide and varied. It includes Marymound Home for Adoles- cent Girls in Winnipeg; the fel- lowship house for young Indian men in Prince Albert and Ar - St. Paul's Church (ANGLICAN, WINGHAM— SUNDAY, MAY 29 Whitsunday 11:00 a.m.—Morning Prayer Don Farnell, synod report WINGHAM BAPTIST CHURCH Ross Smith — Pastor magh, a home for unwed mothers and troubled girls in Toronto. Through inner-city mission, food and clothing are distributed to those in need. The supply depart- ment of the Presbyterial provides good used clothing and quilts for native people in Kenora and on reserves. Ministry is carried into prisons, hospitals and homes for the elderly. Mrs, Robert Campbell then told some of their experiences in con- ducting Holiday Clubs. This work involves a team off workers who set up missions at the beach in the summertime. Children in the area are invited to a Christian program of Bible stories, quizzes, games and songs. Mrs. Campbell expressed the opinion that this is a very worth- while program as it reaches nu- merous children who have -never been to church. It is in danger of being discontinued because of a lack of available workers. Mrs. Robert McKague, con- vener, opened the meeting with a call to worship entitled "Faith". Mrs. Hugh Clugston presided at the piano for a singsong medley conducted by Mrs. Ken Mc- Kague. A Bible study based on Mark, chapter five, was introduced by Mrs. Ken McKague, This passage deals with the healing of the de- moniac by Jesus. A chart was completed, comparing the condi- tion of the demoniac, physically, mentally and spiritually, before and after he met Jesus. The re- action to Jesus' power was very, similar to that of today. Some people rejected Him, the de- moniac accepted Him. As a re- sult, Jesus appointed this man His missionary to the Gentiles. Kendra McKague played two piano solos, "Evening Prayer" and "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2". Mrs. Harold Congram led in prayer. "All That 1 Am" was sung while the offering was re- ceived. -Mrs. Clarence Wood conducted the business portion of the meet- ing with Mrs. Robert Arbuckle, secretary, assisting.

In addition to his leadership in the administra- tion of Knox College he is inti- mately involved with the Toronto School of Theology, a federation of seven theological colleges in Toronto and with which two col- leges outside of Toronto are affil- iated.
