mitted for the 50th Anniversary
Competition last year are in
Mitchell United Church unitl
May 10. They will be on dis-
play in the sanctuary there on
the afternoon of May 9th and all
are invited to view them.. They
are spectacularly large and
beautiful.
Worship was conducted by
Cora Thistle and Rev. Bruce
Guy. They have been serving on
a London Conference Task Force
on the Charismatic Movement.
They testified to startling and
deeply moving experiences as
part of the group, which was led
by Rev. Bernard Warren of the
Bezek Centre in Campbellville.
One point emphasized was the
degree to which the basic princi-
ples of the movement are a part
of our Basis of Union -for ex-
ample: the living, active Holy
spirit, the life of trust and prayer.
Some discussion followed. The
central issue was "speaking
in tongues" which, it was agreed.
the Apostle Paul had taught was
not for all people and all oc-
casions.
The 19 year old program called
"Singtime" which is carried on
CKNX Television, has to change
its day due to scheduling of
national advertising. The Bard
of Directors and Program Com-
mittee recommend up to ten
"Specials" to be aired in the
early evening of, a week day.
Details are still being negotiated.
Local choirs will continue to be
involved but theme programs and
new "taping" arrangements will
be made.
The Presbytery's Resource
Centre, now in Ontario St.
Church, Clinton, is being studied
by a special committee, headed
by Rev. Bert Daynard, with a
view to possible enlargement and
longer hour staffing. The Pres-
bytery heard a preliminary report
which stated that enthusiastic
personnel and convenient loca-
tion are vital. Ideas are being
received gladly.
The Presbytery approved the
call of St. John's, Stratford, to the
Rev, R. Bruce Scott; and the call
of Atwood to the Rev. Harry
Stevens. Two students leave
for ordaination: Mr. Robert
McMullen, who has served Mill-
bank, is going to the Maritime
Conference and Mr. Norman
Patterson, who has served Ford-
wich since January, is going to
Newfoundland. The Presbytery
thanked both and wished them
well.
The Moncreiff congregation,
on the Walton Pastoral Charge,
has "voted to cease to exist as
a congregation on June 30,
1976". Walton has requested
the continuing services of the
Rev. Ed Baker and asked Presby-
tery to consider boundary
changes.
Rev. John Roberts moved that
the Presbytery send a letter
"of warm commendation to the
people of the congregations
of Fordwich and Kurtzville for
their tremendous support of
their own and Presbytery and
Conference officers through their
ordeal". The Presbytery enthus-
iastically endorsed this action.
Rev. George Ball communi-
cated the good news that Dr.
Betty Bridgeman and Miss
Radley, who had been missing
in Angola have been found and
are remaining there to do some of
their regular work. He also
called attention to the new book
by Douglas Roche "Justice
not Charity", which is a thought
provoking look ' at Canada's
status in the world. He report-
ed, as' well, that conversations
are taking place with the Presby-
terian Church in Canada, not
about possible union, but about
better co-operation. Two rounds
of meetings have been held.
The Young Adult Camp at
Camp Menestung on May 14-
16 still has some space for
18-25 year olds. Special guests
will be the Japanese young
people who are visitng Canada as
part of the International Youth
Exchange program to celebrate
the 50th Anniversary of the
Church.
Mrs. Evelyn Demaray, of Blue -
vale, the new "Church in Soci-
ety" Committee Chairperson,
reported that a symposium on
"Agripower" will be held at
Cedar Glen in October.
Registration forms were
distributed for both Bimini
and Menestung Camps. Pro-
grams for all ages are planned.
Many leaders are needed. The
Rev. Michael Boulgcr, of Monk -
ton, will come with slides, etc.
to talk about camping with any
interested group in a congrega-
tion.
The 20 year old tradition of
Keswick Conferences will be
broken this year, Mr. Harold
Coade of Mitchell, reported.
Replacing the old will be a new
weekend at Delawana Inn,
Honey Harbour, on June 18-20.
