(D. A. MacMillan opened the meeting by scripture read- ing and prayer. R. P. Watson, Bruce - field, was duly elected chairman and Wm. Dodds, IL Lawrence andWinthrop, A. Routledge ge?were made representatives to the Lay As- sociation of Huron Presbytery, Rev. Mr. MacMillan spoke of the Laymen in Tilsonburg and District,also of the value of Lay Visitation, vangelism, this being the first point in the Lay Advisory Council's program. The meeting recommended that the Lay Visitation program be taken back by those present to their local charges for consideration. Mr. Morrison read an article from the Information Bul- letin of London Conference Lay As- sociation, it set forth the needs and objective of the Missionary and Main-' tainence Fund for this year 1950. Ire the discussion following it was shown that for 1949 we in Huron PresbY- terywere -10% behind the other Pres- byteries of London Conference, in our givings, per family to this Fund. Laymen present thought that if our' people knew that we in Huron are below other Presbyteries in our giv- ings, this reflection upon us would be rectified by increased giving to this fund. The Laymen,' Bulletin further called upon United Church- men to see that Ministerial salaries for 1951 were up to the minimum salary set by the Lay Advisory Conn- ell of$2400 plus allowance for tra- velling expenses. Discussion of church problems led to the meeting adopting the following recommendation, viz, that a layman of a local charge give a statement, quarterly, before the congregation of the givings to current revenue, and to the Missionary and Maintainence Fund. In this way the members would be kept informed of the financial po- sition of the charge. The meeting also unanimously approved a motion, recommending the formation of Lay - mens' groups in the charges where it might be possible to do so. The meeting closed with prayer by the Rev. A. W. Gardiner. SEAFORTH, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1950 61 a year PRESENTATION TO MR, AND MRS. P.

The score at the end of the first half read Wingham 11, Seaforth 0. It did remain 'in this discouraging way for long after Rennie started to go with the expert quarter backing of Harry Jacobi. Rennie' got two great touchdowns and a convert while Keith Blanchard got a convert. This week in assembly Bob Scott gave the school some very enjoyable entertainment on the piano.

BIBLE SOCIETY APPEAL NOW BEING MADE It was said a short while ago by General Douglas MacArthur that the only successful weapon that would counteract Communism and pave the way for a peaceful and lasting settle- ment of world problems, was that the message of the Prince of Peace be placed in the hands of every individ- ual in every part of the world. When the Ethiopian was stop- ped on his journey and asked by the Apostle St, Philip what he was reading and whether he understood the passage he replied "How can I understand, someone should guide me". In an attempt to follow out the commands of Christ, the British and Foreign Bible Society has labored for many years translating and printing the Bible in all the world languages and Dialects so that now 2000 years after Jesus Christ, the sacred scrip- tures are procurable in almost every language and dialect in the world. Once a year we are asked if we will help in --this stupendous task by our offerings. During the period No- vember 1 to 15 collectors will can- vass the town and call upon you. Don't fail to give what you can so that the local committee will be ab'Ie to remit to the headquarters the amount collected. The local committee is, Pres., Mr. Morrison; See., Miss Jeffery; Treas., Mr. E. C. Boswell.

The annual convention of Huron County Temperance Federation was held October 31st in First Presbyter- ian Church, Seaforth, with an after- noon session. Rev. D. G. Campbell, pastor of the convention church, conducted the de- votional period by reading Romans 12 and offering prayer, 3. Howard Campbell, president, ad- dressed the convention. The secret- ary's report was accepted and the treasurer, F. Howson, Wingham, pre- sented his report which was accepted also. Rev. C. L. Cowan, B.D., D.D., of Hamilton, said he had read about the profits of a liquor industry having been 23!,i millions which amount he said, is sufficient to keep the whole Presbyterian Church going for years, or, bringing it down to St Andrew's Church, Hamilton, would pay all its expenses, which are not small, and include a number of missionaries, for 1,086 years, the one destructive and the other constructive. Referring to the glamour and ex- travagance and music of the cocktail lounge and yet dispensing the same deadly poison as sold in the lowliest beverage room or liquor store, he likened it to the atomic bomb dropp- ed on the city of Hiroshima, with its terrible destruction, and stated that it would have been no less destruc- tive had it been wrapped in silk, tied with ribbons and released to sacred music. In conclusion he declared: "Let the church be the church, he Christ's church!" Rev. John Linton, Toronto office, and recently appointed general sec- retary of the Canadian Temperance Federation, commented on conditions in the Prdvince and led in a round table conference. The resolutions committee brought in a list of resolutions which, along with one added, were adopted on motion of Rev. H. C. Wilson and F. Howson.
