HOLDS SUCCESSFUL
FALL RALLY HERE
• The annual Fall Rally of Huron
3iiresbyery Y.P.U. of the United
Church of Canada was held in On-
tario St. United Church, Clinton, on
Friday evening, November 7, with
Young People and their leaders pre,
sent from Fordwieh, Wroxeter, Blue -
vale, Wingham, B1lythe Brussels, Wal-
ton, Brumfield, Goderich, .Bbenezer,
Ashfield, Varna, Exetelr and ;Clinton'
The opening worship was given by
Ashfield Young People under the di-
rection of their president, Alvin Al-
ton.
The president, Douglas Lawless -
Walton, who was in the chair for
the entire evening, conducted a brief
business period. The leadership train-
ing convener, Benson Sutter, spoke
briefly regarding the regional train-
ing schools to be held within the
next few weeks n the presbytery.
The theme of the rally was "Jesus
Christ is Lord" and ;the message on
this theme .was ably given by Miss
Patricia Chinnick, Chatham. Miss
+Chinniek was the delegate of the
London Conference Y.P.U. at the
World Conference of Christian Youth
held in Oslo, Norway, during July of
bhis year. During her talk Miss Chin -
nick pointed oat some of the high-
lights of the different ;addresses
heard at the conference. By meeting
together, eating together and wor-
shipping together those who were
there became much more tolerant of
the other person'& denomination and
also color. She likened the world to-
day to a wheel with God the hub
and everyone a spoke. No matter
what creed or color each spoke led to
the hub and thus brought us closer
to each other and also closer to God.
Miss Minnick concluded her re-
marks bf stating that she could prove
Jesus Christ was Lord of her life
but was He •also Lord of ours. That
was the question we were going to
have to ask ourselves. If every per-
son present at the rally would be
able to proclaim Jesus Christ as his
or her Lord then the ;Perposa of Oslo
would have been fulfilled.
Folowng the theme address the
group was divided into discussion
groups as follows: 1. Jesus Ohnist in
personal living, Rev, E. R. Stanway
Br•.ucefield; 2. Jesus Christ in com-
munity, Rev. H. J. :Mahoney, Exeter;
3. Jesus Christ in Church, Rev. Hugh
Wilson, Brussels; 4. Jesus Christ in
world, Rev. Wilbur Rogers, Blyth;
Administration, Rev. Gordon Hazle-
wood, Walton.
Greetings were brought from the
conference by the president. Miss
Daphne ,Staib, Woodstock, and from
Oxford Presbytery by ,Miss Ruth
Callan also of
Woodstock. The ga-
thering
was welcomed to the church
by the presdent of the Y.P.U., Elwin
Merrill. Rev. W. J. Woolfreyclosed
with the benediction.
The host mem: served refreshments
in the Sunday School room of the
church during which time Miss .Staib
led in a short sing song and Miss
Margaret 32acElwan, Brumfield, ex-
pressed the appreciation of the group
for'ethe Splendid hositality shown.
