A motion ask- ing that general council "make a release to the press in regard to our opposition to the liquor traffic" was approved by the Presbytery, Rev, T. G. Husser, Wingham, in proposing the motion stated that the general public has been left with a distorted view bf the church's policy. "Our Church is committed to a policy of 'active resistance to the evils of the liquor traffic' and 'responsible concern for the widespread problems it cre- ates'," said Mr. Husser quoting from the report which was ad- opted by the General Council, "We have favoured the establishment of national ad- vertising codes on condition that `the objective would be in line with the Bracken Commis. sion, namely, the elimination of all liquor advertising and pro- motion," said Mr. Husser again quoting the report. Rev. A. E. Holley, Grand Bend, who acted as moderator of the discussion, outlined the content of the report and drew attention to the recommenda- tions. "Voluntary Total Abstin- ence is recommended as 'the wisest and safest course to fol- low in relation to the use of beverage alcohol'," he said, al- so quoting from the report. "Recognition of a wrong within the church is not new," said Mr. Holley, He pointed out that the church has always recognized faults in its membership but PAINTING and DECORATING D. A.

It was pointed out in the discussion that the Unit- ed Church in 10 Councils has not approved the use of alco- holic beverages as an ideal of Christian conduct for its mem- bers and that tile Church still holds to the policy of Voluntary Total Abstinence, At the same time the recent Council did call upon the mem- bership of the church to 'prac- tice Christian love in their at- titude to all men' and to be informed in their opinions and tolerant toward their fellow church members who hold dif- ferent views.' Attention was drawn to the section of the re- rPeesrionswilibileeh ocountldinueset guides to rid bco "moderate drinkers" and "total abstainers". Also considered at this meet- ing held in Wesley-Willis Unit- ed Church in Clinton was the interim report on "The Doc- trine and Practice of Church Membership". Support was giv- en to the proposal of the Com- mission that ideally it should be a requirement in Infant Baptism that "at least one parent or sponsor should be a member of the church." A mo- tion to this effect was present- ed by Rev. William J. ten Hoop- en of North Street United Church in Goderich. In regard to a suggested service for the "Restoration of Lapsed Mem- bers" it was suggested that it would be impractical with the existing pattern of the discip- line of church membership. a Most youngsters think there are only three seasons in the year . . . baseball, football and basketball. • ROOFING Earl Doucette Built-up Asphalt Roofing Coating-Patching-Shingling Roof Repairs of All Types Phone HU 2-9741 - Clinton • PLASTERING CONTRACTOR Carman F.
