Varna Likes its Young
Woman Preacher
Rev. Reba Hern
Minister of Varna United church,
Rev. Reba Hern is the only ordained
women engaged in pastoral' work in
Canada at the present time, This
slender ,attractive young woman, still
in her twenties, who dislikes a gown
and appears in the pulpit in a plain
dark dress, or sometimes ,in summer,
in all -white, has attracted wide at-
tention as a preacher.
Any question as to time success of
women in the ministery, and there is
still question in many conservative
minds, seems answered by Miser Hern,
who takes three services each Sunday,
in all weathers; keeps in close touch
with all her congregations and all her
pastoral duties, and lives by herself
in the Varna parsonage, where she
has the advantage over the bachelor
clergy in being able to cook her own
meals, and where she also sturdily
tends the big lawn surrounding the
house.
Unlike some of her masculine con-
temporaries, she does not read her
sermons. Nor does she take notes
into the pulpit. Her warns contralto
voice carries well in any building and
in the ten months of her ministry
here she has preached in tweny-six
different pulpits and,in some of these
as often as three different times.
When .the news. of Rev. Reba
Hem's 'appointment to Varna reached
Huron Presbytery . the subject of wo-
anen preachers was a lively topic at
many a church meeting. When she
exchanges pulpits the query arises as
to her reception inthe dhurcht Should
she, be introduced:to the congregation
like a missionary speaker? Should
she. be escorted to the pulpit? Should
the ;service be opened for her? But
when she arrives at the church, a
slender, capable young Woman, and is'
introduced to the elders, she takes'
her mace without any uncertainty
The fact that she isr;,4 woman'preaoh
er gives her no'Conoe'ris *hatever;" it
is the work that` matters, .^and ''she

suffers from neither an inferiority
nor a superiority complex. And the
question asked by an anxious Huron
country United Church woman,'
"Wouldn't a woman look terribly out
of place at Conference?" was answer-
ed by another (though not by Miss
Hero herself), "Well, perhaps no
nue son than a man preacher at a
quilting."
Rev. Reba Hern was born in A1-
gonna district and received her early
education at Sault Ste. Marie. With
her twin sister, Carrie, she graduated'
from Victoria College, Toronto, and
entered Emmanuel College. Her sis-
ter is now the wife of Rev. Wilbur
Rogers, who is at present taking a
course at Queen's University.
As a student Miss Hern preached
for five months at Peebles, Saskatch-
ewan, where, each Sunday, she trav-
elled forty miles to preach in four
different churches. After her ordin-
ation she served for four years at
Rydal Bank ,Algoma,' where she
again preached, in -four churches each
Sunday, using a horse during those
periods of the year when the roads
were impassable. So that, to the
young minister, life in Southern One
tario, and a parsonage home in little
tree -;shaded Varna ,only a few miles
from Lake Huron is lose strenuous
than that' experienced in her first
charge. And Varna is proud and fond
of its woman minister.

A CORRECTION
In last week's issue we regret to
state there appeared an error in the
account of the accident involving Mr.
Mervin Hanley 'and Mrs. W. Rozell.
We stated Mrs. Rozell was making a
left hand turn when the accident hap-
pened ;this in not correct as Mrs.
Rozell was coming south. Mr. Hanley
had stopped for traffic and. after let-
ting one car go past started' upon
the highway not seeing Mrs, Rozell's
car ,therefore hitting her car side-
ways.

News From International
The money received in parking
fees at the International Plowing
Match will be an important item, he
fact it will be the only source- of re-
venue for the local directors -of the
Match. It's nota surprise, therefore,
to find that two nanny bankers from
the Town of Seaforth have been selec-
ted to keep their eyes on the park-
ing fees.
E. 0. "Ned" Boswell and J. M.
'Joe' McMillan are to ;superintend the
task of seeing that the money collec-
ted at the parking lots gets deposi-
ted safely in the vaults of their res-
pective banks. The only trouble
which might arise will be deciding
which bank gets the cash. Ned and
Jim are both managers of local banks
and at latest reports it seems that
they will divide the money evenly at
the end of each day.
Both Boswell and McMillan have
the interests of farming at heart. Be-
tween them they know the ins and
outs- of the hardships sustained by
farmers during the past number of
years and they both have strong feel-
ings in the matter of farming being
placed .on a sounder basis. They both.
feel that the educational aspects of
the International Plowing Match will
do much to help farming in general.
Financially the Huron County
Plowing Match Committee is on a
very sound basis., in addition to see-
ing that the parking fees are 'collec-
ted and banked ,the .two "Watch Dogs
of the 'Treasury" are keeping their
eyes, peeled, in all financial matters
offectinglk the Match. Ned ' Boswell
and Joe 'McMillan are ' doing their
share • to assure' the .success of^' the
1942 'International'' PI** "Match
