HURON LAYMEN OF UNITED CHURCH MEET ATSEAFORTH Bulletin Urges That Min isterial Salaries Be Kept Up To Minimum. A meeting of ministers and 'lay- men of the Centre Section of Hur- on Presbytery of the United Church was held in Northside United Church, Seaforth, om Thurs day evening, Nov. 2. Rev. D. A. MacMillan opened the meeting with Scripture reading and prayer, R. P. Watson, Brucefield, was duly elected ohairman, and William Dodds, Winthrop, secre- tary. H. Lawrence and A. C. Rout- ledge were made representatives to the executive of •the Lay Assoc- iation of Huron Presbytery. Rev. D. A. MacMillan spoke of the laymen in Tillsonbiirg and dis- trict, also of the value of Lay Visi- tation Evangelism, this being the first point in the program of the Lay -Advisory Council. The meet- ing recommended that the Lay Visitation program be taken back to their local charges by those present for consideration. Mr. Morrison read an article from the Information Bulletin of the Lay Association of London Con- ference. It set forth the needts and objective of the Missionary Main- tenance Fund for 1950. In the dis- cussion following, it was shown that for 1949 we in Huron Presby- tery were 10 per cent behind the other Presbyteries of London Con- ference in our givings, per family, to this fund. Laymen present thought that if the people knew that we in Huron Presbytery were below the other Presbyteries in average givings, this reflection' up- on us would be rectified by an in- crease in giving to the M. and M. Fund. The Laymen's Bulletin further called upon United Church men to see that ministerial salaries for 1951 were up to the minimum set by the Lay Advisory Council, viz., $2,400, plus allowance for travel- ling expenses.
