Resolution Point- ingOut Increasing Prevalence of Activi- ties. Huron Preehyleny met,.in Ontario St. United Churoh,?'Clitiiton, Mon- day afternoon, Feb. 28. The chair- man, Rev. W. A. Beecroft, opened i the meeting with worship, in Which Rev. G. C. Weir led in pray- er and Rev. U. Cronhielm preach- ed the snyinon, Presbytery adopted the-fell/owing resolution presented by Mr. N. W. Trewartha, Clinton, President of the Lay Association of Huron Pres- bytery: "Whereas, the practice of conducting farm operations on Sunday, such as tilling the soil, harveeting,•combir:iug, etc. is be- coming prevalent in this Presby- tery of Huron be it resolved that we, the Lay Association of Huron Presbytery of the United. Church of Canada, call upon all Christian people throughout the Presbytery, to refrain from, and not in any way countenance, such labor on the Sabbath. Our pioneer forefathers could sow their fields, and cut their crops with the scythe and cradle and harvest them, without resorting to Sunday labor. Surely we, in this highly mechanized age, with-- all our equipment, could do so without desecrating the day. We are in imminent danger of losing the heritage of our Christian Sab- bath, that our forefathers have .passed. down to us. A day spent in rest and quietness, and worship, is surely what this age needs in these feverish times. We in this day greatly need to learn that man does not live by bread alone." Rev. Geo. Dorey, D.D., Toronto, Secretary of the Board of Home Missions, was present and spoke about the Home 1Vlission work and the present campaign in connec- tion with the ministerial salaries. Huron had this admiration because for years there had been no charge in the whole Presbytery that re- ceived aid from the Home Mission Board. He stated that there were encouraging reports of increased salaries from various parts of the United Church. It is the earnest hope of the National Committee, that none of the charges will be below $2,100 in the year 1949; $2,200 in 1950, and $2,400 in the year 1951. Mr. Robert Watson, Brucefield, who has beep chosen to head the special campaign for the increase in ministers' salaries in Huron Presbyterial, obtained the neces- sary information from the brethren for this campaign. Mr. A. J. Mc- Murray, Clinton, in his repolrt of thie pension fund capital campaign, stated that twelve charges had reached their objective in cash, but many of the others were disap- pointing, and that three of these charges had raised nothing in cash or pledges,. Rev. W. J. Woolfrey gave an en- couraging report for the Mission- ary and Maintenance Fund, stating that the contributions of Huron Presbyrterq, for the year 1948, were $31,700, an increase of 17 per cent over the previous, year. Consent was given to the people of Seaforth United Church to sell the house at the north end of their church building; to the people of Hoimesviile to sell their church shed; to the people of Goshen to sell their old church building, and to the people of Turner's to sell their eburoh shed.
