Lots of Discussion
At Presbytery
J, Carl Hemingway
i
Uuippn. Presbytery held their
regular * meefting to Bayfield
■United Church, April 26.
Several mtewting. .item?
came up for discussion but I'm
just el bit uncertain as to the
decisions that were made. ■ v
The first, topic was the in
troduction of .a resolution sup
porting the action of the Cten-
■era] Oouncil in,regard to lot
teries. Unfortunately np clear
statement was made as to the
attitude of the General Council
except that it wqs opposed to
organised lotteries. When the

The deceased was _a CNR

question of hockey pools, etc,,
was mentioned it .seemed that
the force was pretty, well taken
out of the resolution. Tt, of
course, was passed, but what
of these other tilings?
Is it okay to be just a little
sinful? Just don't push your
luck top far?
This is frustrating .to me, I
raised the question with one
of the ministers gt dinner, sug
gesting a sermon pointing' put
the evils ‘of gambling. His an
swer was to the effect that if
people received the Spirit of
Christ, the lottery problem
would take pare of itself and,
of course, I have to agree.
However, I think we must also
agree that most of us haven't
reached that degree of dedica
tion. In the meantime, I think
we need a- good many,reminders
and -a good deal of direction
before we achieve perfection.
There was also a resolution
indicating the concern of the
Church with .land use npd ex
propriation. If was pointed' out
that choice farm ,land' was be
ing covered with buildings and
pavement. This land may be
badly* needed for food product-
tion much sooner than we think.
With, planning, non-productive
areas could be used for bulilding
sites. It was also felt that far
mers were not? being justly
treated where their ' land was
being ..expropriated for highways
and other uses. ■ •
This brought back memories
of my years with'the Federa
tion. of Agriculture. How this
organization .tried to get jus
tice and reason into these areas
of land use!
How little'was gained.! Per
haps the members of Presby
tery showed greater wisdom
when they decided that a reso
lution from such a body would
receive no attention from Gov
ernment and so decided not to
send in the resolution.
Perhaps Presbytery members
realize, as apparently the. Fed
eration does not, that the prime
concern of present govern
ments is votes and campaign
funds, > Presbytery certainly
hasn't money for campaign
funds and probably hasn’t much
power to change the inherited-
voting habits of church mem
bers.
In spite of this, I think the
resolution should have been
sent in. The Church professes
to uphold the., right and con
demn the'Wrong. Even though
it feels helpless to correct the'
evil, the church is not justified
ip shotting its eyes.
Anp;tliei' item of importmice
was the matter of religious edu
cation in the public schools.
While it seemed that Presby
tery was unanimously in favor
of ' religious education' there
were vexing problems pointed
out, .
First, it was pointed out that
the education wer .meant wds
really Christian education. Does
this mean that Moslems and
Hindus are to be denied the.
right to have their religion
taught to thiedr children?
Then who is to do the teach'-
Ing? .
At present several ministere
are doing the teaching, This
has two problems, Ministers do.
not necessarily have teacher
training and also find it diffi
cult to be entirely free of de-
nominationalism.
In order to have these mat
ters cleared up, this resolution
was referred back to the Com
mittee.
Rev. Doug Stevens of' Eg-
mondyille was to charge of the
brief worship service. He took
‘as his. text “Would that ye
were hot or cold, ...” He had
'a real message and one that
is most timely. In our com
parable little community it is
so easy to' be “luke-warm” —
and useless.
But ..J wonder what right we
have- to expect anything else?
' If a v dictator came in and
started burning ouir churches
and forbidding worship, I think
many Christians would become
“hot”. It is very difficult to be
really enthusiastic when people
agree whole-heartedly with
Christian principles yet con
tinue to operate by devious,
ways. ,In our church there is
a benevolent fund at the dis
posal of the minister that has
been unused for years, so it is
difficult for me to be much
concerned when he teds me
there ane people in our com
munity that are hot attending
Church because they /haven't
decent -clothes to wear.
In closing, I might say that
this may be my last commen
tary on Presbytery meetings.
One minister and one layman
raised the question .of a mem-,
ber of Presbytery submitting
reports to the press without
authorization of Presbytery.
This makes me uncertain as
to my temperature. I don’t
know whether Presbytery con
siders me “hot’’ or “cold” but
apparently I’m not. “luke
warm.”

DOES SHUR'GAIN TAKE THE
EXTRA TROUBLE TO MAKE
SELECTED-GRANULATED FERTILIZER
Because. itfS more effective, shur-gain Fertilizer is granulated after the
ingredients have been mixed and is not-just ,a blend of granular
materials. As a result each ,granule contains all three plant food
elements in the right propqrfi°ns/ .
Ordinary granular and,; blended .fertilizers simply consist of a
mixtute of ihgfedietiis, either in powder form dr granules. Although
feasier to m$ke. fertilizer that w^y it cannot as effectiye.H’usp,
