• The report on overtures was intro-
duced by Rev. A, 'Mac
Marione.
An
overture to restore the status of
bi
ministers on the General Assembly's
Board of Administration to accord'
with the long constituted usage of
Church, of equal numbers of clergy
and laity, was approved. An over-
ture that the General Assembly meet
biennially instead of annually, and.
that the powers of Synods be enlarg-
ed, was disapproved. An ,overture
that the word "sincerely" be included
as qualifying the word "'believe" in
the formula to be signed at the•ordin-
ation, or induction, or reteptio of a
minister, was approved.
The report of the treasurer was
presented by Mr. F. G. 'Weir, of
Goderich, and the Auditor's report by
Mr. 'Henry Strang, of Usborne. The
books showed a balance over the ex-
penditures of bhe year of $35.37.
The allocations for the Presbytery,
Synod and General Assembly Fund
were adopted to accord with those of
the past year.
Rev. R. C. McDermid laid the bud-
get report before Presbytery and
showed the encouraging progress and
response upon the part of all congre-
gations toward reaching a reasonable
Budget amount of $7,000, and cam
plimented a number of the congrega-
tions upon their splendid record its
giving to the schemes. In adopting
the report the members of Presby-
tery expressed their praise of Knox
Church, Goderich, and its esteemed
minister, for having attained an hon -
arable position among even the larg-
est congregations of the Church' in
budget contributions.
Some time was given to the discus-
sion of the Ministers' Widows', and
Orphans' Fund, which is being plac-
ed
laned upon an actuary bis by
the Gen-
eral Assembly by which
who contributes according to his
rates will receive a retiring allowance
of $1,000 per annum at the end of 40
years of service, and a Minister's
widow will receive $500 per annum.
The Fund is being reorganized and
endowed, and will be known as the
Pension Fund of the Presbyterian
Church in Canada. The discussion of
the plan in its details was left over, to
a later meeting. Authority was given
Rev. A, Macfarlane, interim modera-
tor, to organize a Session in Bruce -
field congregation. The Presbytery
adjourned. to meet in Clinton on the
3rd Tuesday of Feb. at 10.30 a.m.
THE PRESBYTERY OP HURON.
The Presbytery of Huron held its
regular December meeting in the.
Presbyterian Church, Clinton, on
Tuesday, the 1311: inst. The Moder-
ator, Rev. R. C. McDermid, of Gode-
rich, presided. The Rev, '3, W.
Goodwill, B.A., formerly of Cobourg,
who was recently inducted into the
pastoral charge of Blyth and Auburn,
was introduced to the court by the
�legIm moderator, Rev. Alfred Mac-
-7-415;2e,
ac-
-/dr a'ne, of Clinton, Mr. Goodwill
begins his ministry in his new charge
with a people who have won front
Presbytery the finest expressions of
praise for their courage, loyalty and
liberality.

The Yule -tide spirit is never just
quite, the same without a real get-
together, full of enjoyment. Anticipat-
ing this and feeling that the people,of
Seaforth and yicinity demand some-
thing, at this holiday season, of .the
best class, the Lions Club are giving
a Christmas Ball an Monday eve.,
Dec. 26th, at $ 30 p.m. in the G.W.
V.A.
Club. Over two months ago
they engaged the Orpheus Orchestra

without doubt the premier orchestra
of Western Ontario. Invitations have
been sent out and if inadverkently
your name, or visitor's, has been miss-
ed, just mention it to any member of
the Lions Club or still better come
along anyway, as all are welcome. So
just remember the date, Monday eve.,
Dec. 26th, and make this a real
Christmas reunion.

CONGRATULATIONS.
Ow Saturday, Dec. 17th, Mr, Thos.
E. Hays received the felicitations of
his many friends from far end near,,
it being the occasion of his 89th
birthday.

$1,.A YEAR,
THE ANCIENT CUSTOM
OF CAROL SINGING.
"Then came the merry -makers in
And carols roared with blithesome din
If.unmelodioes was the song
It was a hearty note and strong.
Who lists may in.their mumming see
Paces of ancient mystery."
(Sir Walter Scott).
It has been the privilege of the Eg-
mondviile choir this year to revive the
old, old custom of carol -singing, a
custom, the "ancient mystery" ' of
which should ,in some measure at
least, prove an antidote to the com-
mercialism of the Christmas festival.
So on two glorious Canadian winter
nights this week, they turned them-
selves into a band of "waits" and ser-
enaded the shut-ins of the Egntond-
vi11e congregation and other friends.
Fifteen utiles or more were covered
in their itinerary, but two good stout
teams of horses soon covered this
distance, and the fun increased the
further the party went. From the
welcome , received everywhere me-
thinks the good folk did not find that
"unmeiodious was the song" and if
1 they enjoyed it half as much as the
carollers did themselves, then the
latter will feel well repaid.
