were returned to their respective of-

f—
fices ay acclamation. -When, the nomination" was closed,
Mr. James Scott was chosen to be
chairman, and in a very able, manner
addressed the audieecee ore current
events pertaining to municipal Man
tees and .invited the council to the
•platform. The reeve"and councillors
very ably explained to tileratepayers
that were present the past year's bust-
ness and expressed their appreciat'an
of 'being returned to office. •
. Mr. Kay, who has had the honor of
being Warden of -the 'County of Perth
for the year •1942, gave a very clear
and- interesting address on the county
work during the past year arid also.
dealt very thoroughly with 'the town-
ship affairs, explaining that' at the,
-end of 1938, when- the present council ;.
took office, Hibbert Township's debt
was $9,250.00' with a ' surplus -sof $4,-
755.00, and at the end of 1942 Bib-
bert's delft has' been lowered over
$6,000.00, and have purchased a new
tower maintainer and snowplow at a
cost of $9,524.00 and have built a
shed to house this machine at a cost
of $804.00, wh'..::i is all,paid for, and
the financial statement' shows a bal-
an'ee+ surplus of $5,085.01; plus the
Government road subsidy of approxi-
mately $3,000.00, "Which is not ebnsid-
ered in the financial. statement. . '
It was also explained that , to ac-
complish this -'the taxes had not been
raised, and that due to world condi-
tions the taxation would _certainly in-
crease and that Hibbert, with its sur -
phis and the maintainer' paid for, cer-
tainly puts -the taxpayer in a mueh
better, standing than if the municipal-
ity was in debt. t. •

H. Douglas Stewart, E;A .,
Ordained At Knox
'Church, , Stratford; Mon-
day Evening.
WILL ,BE STATIONED
AT. EDMONTON.
Rev. H..Douglas Stewart, B.A., son
of Mr, and Mrs. Harry Stewart, of
•Seaforth, was inducted into the Chris-
tian ministry at an impressive ordina-
tion service of the Presbytery of
Stratford. of the Presbyterian -Church
in Canada, held in Knox Church, Strat-
ford., on Monday evening last.
Also ordained at the same time
were two, other young men of the
Presbytery, Donald 5. Jacnson,, son of
Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Jackson, Strat-
ford, and Gordon E. Bastedo, of Wood-
stock. All three received their Bach-.
elm. of ATIs degree at the university
of Western Ontario and have just
completed two years at the Pres-
byterian. Theological College in
Montreal.
At the service Rev. B, L. Walden,
minister of St Andrew's Church,
Stratford, said: "A challenge to cour-
ageous actions in these trying times
is presented to these. three young
men who this night have come to be
ordained into• the Christian ministry."
Rev. 'C. S. Oke, minister of Knox
Presbyterian Church, officiated at the
service, • assisted by Rev. Donald .Mc-
Innes, Milverton, and Rev. T. ;J. Stra-
chan, St. Marys. The choir of Knox
Church' under the direction of Wil-
liam France, Mus. Bac., rendered spe-
cial music.. -
The theme of Mr. Walden's address
aas "Unity of Purpose," based on St.
Paul's exhortation in . Phillippians,
chapter 3, verse 13: "This one thing
I d'o." "In these five short words,"
declared Mr. Walden, "we . have an.
essential trute that shnuld be placed
before every minister who. enters -this
field. -
"Men have too narrow a conception
of their business. Paul did not mean
tosayhedidn'
only one thing,He •gid
y d
any things but all-thrn:ge heldi 1, nU
aspects of the work he undertook;
,had a unity of purpose,, which was
the furtherance of the gospel of Jesus
Christ. Everything a minister does'
revolves around that purpose. It is
necessary for a minister of the gos-
pel to rigorously exclude from his life
as he rigorously egcludes from his
sermons 'everything which does not
help to bring to his people the mes-
sage of the Christian teaching.
• "A true shepherd has net only a
staff," declared the speaker; "he. has
Alsoa rod to keep the wolves from
his flock. The purpose of the minis-
ter is not only to, de but to pro-
tect.
"Just as every raver has its tribu-
taries, so there are many subordinate
interests . in• the work of Christ. • It
must be ourim with God's: help to
keep these interests subordinate. Life
is one long course in humility, with
the primary .motive being the testi-
mony of good conscience. before- God
"We must pray without ceasing," de-
clared Mr. Waidien, "for the'lesion of
the cross; to maintain always the
high ideal, the sincere and simple mo-
tives with which we enter the min
ietry, that all -you do may revo.ve
around: and a contribute to this one
great purpose of the Christian minis-
try." ' ,.
Following'the sermon, the clerk of
the Presbytery, Rev. Donald Mclnne-s,
Milverton, announced the pre -ordina-
tion preparation. The laying on of
hands was conducted by Rev. C. S
Oke.
Congratulations and best wishes
were extended the newly ordained
ministers and Bibles were presented
to Donald S. Jackson and Gordon E.
Bastedo, on behalf of their home con-
gregations, and a cheque was present-
ed .to H. Douglas Stewart, by 1`tev.
Iiugh Jack, on behalf of First Pres-
byterian -Church, Seaforth. Mr. Stew-
art had been presented with a Biple
from his home congregation on a",.pre-
vious occasion.
Following the service a reception
was held in the parlors of the church
for the newly ordained- ministers.
• Mr. Jackson' has been appointed by
the Board of Missions t� serve in the
Presbytery of Paris; Mr. Stewart in
Calgary, and Mr. ,Bastedo in• Brandon.
They expect to take over their charg-
es 'early in the new year.
