The last three clauses are 'a dis- tinct innovation to the conference and a debate ensued. W. R.

Dr. Baldwin: "It has its merits, there is a danger of sending men to conference year after year who be- come too officially minded." Prof. Jollife: "Laymen are the vietims of an inferiority complex." Several in audience: "Take that back." Prof. Jollife: "How often do you see or hear a layman get to his feet in conference. They are backward.

The meeting will be held for a week and will end the first Sun- day in June. In the report of the Lay Association, recommendations were made for the formation of a central organization with districts in the same territory as Presbyteries, to develop continuity of programme, in- terest and activity. Official Statement The following official statement was handed out after the report of committee was adopted; "The appeal from the decision of the Oshawa Presbytery has been sustained by the Bay of Quinte Con- ference. Rev. C. E. Cragg was found guilty of serious offences by his Presbytery at a regular meeting held in Newtonville on May 3 last. Though finding him guilty, the preshytery de- cided to take no further action, The inference taken fram the presbytery decision was that in the United Church character did nat count. An appeal was taken from the decision to the Bay of Quinte Conference, and the same was referred to a special com- mittee of very sane men. They brought in a report which upset the decision of the Oshawa Presbytery, and made it very clear that in the ministry character must count, and that any minister who is guilty of such offences is subject to discipline. "The Conference, in adopting the re- port of special committee, directed the president to discipline the offénder. Thus a very important precedent has been established, and a minister of the United Church must be a man of character," Rev. Charles E. Cragg, of King St. Church, Oshawa, has been transferred to Sebright, which is located between Orillia and Norland in the Bay of Quinte Conference. Appointments and transfers in the Oshawa Presbytery are as follows: Greenwood, Rev. F. Horton; Hampton --Rev. Walter R. Parkham; Oshawa, King St.--Dr. L.
