Mili tant leadership, sound financial backing, excellent research and ■good membership support would be the basic requirements of a single organization. v ; During the discussion-which followed, Mr. Davidson pointed out that the views; expressed were his own and' there were no plans for such an organiza tion at the present time. . Mrs. Helen Thompson sug gested that inasmuch as the Ontario Farmers’ Union is pre paring a brief to be presented ~ _, members present' substantiated concerning their eom- very „definite trends.

Perhaps most of the business was more or less routine but there was one topic, the amal gamation of churches with the closing of small churches, which is of vital importance to the religious life of Huron County. Apparently a committee was appointed sometime in the past to consider the problem of the shift in population which has resulted in a big drop in at-1 tendance at some of the smaller Churches.

With the. coming of the .motor car and the snow-plowing of, roads, church-goers can gp a good .many mile? much more conveniently than they coyld travel a .mile in earlier days. On the other hand the motor car makes if possible for a minister to serve a much larger congre- gaftion scattered over a much larger area, Undoubtedly there would be advantages in dosing some of the very small churches but it is a serious decision to make.rOnce closed it is very doubtful that they will ever open again. We are living in a changing community. Over past year? farm population, has dropped greatly and is not likely to be come greater but industry may come to this area. Definite ef forts are being made to attract •factories and Will succeed. This could easily fill the vacant farm 'houses and add nejv homes along our highways. Tt could fill our rural churches. within ten years. . I asked one minister’ how far we could expect people to come the church. His answer disap pointed me. He simply -stated "As far asy you can carry ' a cross”. It had instant re-action though I didn’t say anything and I think I am perhaps un fair to this particular minister in what I’m going to' say. My first re-action was “Well, that’s a typical self-righteous, non-sensical answer of th'e clergy.” ■ . I didn’t ask how 'far he ex pected me to go to church.
