THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1948 PAGE FIVE FORESEES CHURCH UNION IN BRITAIN Winnipeg, Sept. 9. -- Fraternal greetings breathing love, deep inter- est and cordial sympathy and sup port from leaders in the mother churches of Great Britain, Ireland and India, featured the day's ses sions of the general council of the United Church of Canada in Young United Church Friday. Every seat in the large edifice was occupied when the Moderator, Rev. W. T. Gunn, took his station. Seated on the platfotm with him were the visiting fraternal delegates: Rev. J. T. Barkby, ex-president of the Primi- tive Methodist Church of Great Bri- tain; Rev. R. Lee Cole, secretary of the Methodist Church of Ireland; Rev. Dr, W. Russell Maltby, ex-presi- dent of the British Wesleyan Confer- ce, and Rev, A, A, Scott and Rev. r. J. 8. MacKay, representing re- spectively the United Churches of Northern and Central India. Each in turn told of the problems of their respective churches. Bach expressed a sympathetic and broth- erly interest in the church union movement in Canada and admitted that nothing so comprehensive had yet appeared on the church horizon in their own countries, Rev. Dr, Barkby voiced the hope and belief that a union between the branches of the Methodist Church in Great Britain, the Wesleyan Con- ference, the Primitive Church and the United Methodists was on the way and would probably be con- summated in 1932 and that a union of the established and free churches of Scotland was probable, Move in India Rev. Dr, MacKay and Rev. Mr, cott pointed out that there was a strong feeling in favor of union in India and said that the United Church in Canada had no more sin- cere well wishers than the United Churches of India, Rev. R, Lee Cole admitted that union did not flourish on Irish soil and in an address spark- ling with humor and bristling with sound thought, conveyed the greet- ings of the Irish Methodists, Rev, Dr, Maltby urged a closer spirituality in the church, stressed the problems to be grappled with and voiced his satisfaction at the way in which they are apparently being met. "Let us keep to the old habits of personal devotion," he said at the close of an address that held his au- his appointment to the important dience spellbound to silence. "What- | Board. ever we let go do not let these go." And the great audience breathed assent, convinced that it had heard a message of high spirituality and calm, well-reasoned thought. Motion Carries J Charles Austin then moved that the session adjourn and that a time for resuming the debate be set by the business committee. This carried. The debate occasioned the only break in what up to that time had been a most harmonious session. Just before adjournment the secre- tary announced that Hon. N. W, Rowell, of Toronto, had been ap- pointed chairman of the committee to bring in a resolution on the atti- tude of the church to peace and war. This committee will hold its first meeting on Saturday morning and its submission will be before the gen- eral council early next week, After the report of the mainten- ance and extension board had been presented by J. J. Gundy, of Toronto, president of the board, and explained by Rev. Peter Bryce, secretary, and unanimously approved, ' Mr, Gundy made the motion concerning Dr. Charles Endicott's appointment, Dr. Oliver, of Saskatoon, was the seconder and in his address he made some interesting references to the in- flux of immigration to the west, He said that at the rate of immigration 350 people came into the West every 24 hours or at. the rate of one per- son every four minutes or 15 an hour, Of these eight came from Eu- rope, five from Great Britain and three from the United States and this in itself afforded an opportunity to glimpse the problem ahead of the church, The rallway was getting ahead of the missionary for while 285 new mission stations had been opened in the West by the United Church the number was less by 375 than when union went into effect. In Manitoba alone 19 ordained men and 13 parsonages are needed at once and the same applies to Saskatchewan, Meagre Givings The givings to the maintenance and extension fund in the Province of Saskatchewan, while the third largest in Canada, represents but the value of two chocolate hars weekly for each member, He stressed the vision the new settler has when he comes to the West, He can gaze upon Portage avenue westward and say: "There is wheat out there; there is prosperity out there." The church should keep pace . What had been done in Saskatchewan had been due to the driving force of Dr. En- dicott and he was pleased to second Dr. Lewis, of Calgary, then made his objection to the appointment on the ground that there were too many officials in the church, They were reducing men as superintendents of missions, but were "loading them on" somewhere else, The overhead was too heavy and it was time to reduce. "When I heard of the boosting given to Saskatchewan," sald he, "I won- dered and now I find they have sprung something on us. I believe I am speaking for the rank and file of the church when I say we want not more officials, but fewer officials." A. EB, M. Pope, of Montreal, said: "I am speaking as a business man, If you reduce the brains and reduce the efficiency of the church you de- stroy it." R. W, Treleven, of Hamilton, sup- ported the appointment. Nothing new had been brought out by the opposi- tion, he claimed. Everything that had been said against the Endicott ap- pointment had been said when Rev, Peter Bryce was appointed to the position he now fills so well. It cannot all be done from Toronto and if any one saya anything has been sprung suddenly then those of us who know Mr, Bryce and Mr. Gundy can say in reply that the whole matter has been carefully thought out for more than a year, R t Made The Moderator: "I can say that Saskatchewan asked us more than a year ago to set aside Dr. Endicott for some such work where his un- doubted ability could find the most useful scope." Rev. Warren Rothwell, of Maple Creek, Saskatchewan, said if Dr. En- dicott was taken from the home mis- sion work in Saskatchewan then a strong man should be chosen in his place. It should also be settled whe- ther he would continue to live in the West or whether Toronto would take him, West. Rev, A. Ireland, of Victoria, moved in amendment that the whole sional committee, pated in by Rev. R. J, MacDonald, of Indian Head; Wallace Crawford, of the Foreign Mission Field; Judge Swanson, of Kamloops, B.C,, the Mod- erator announced that the time for discussion had ended, Dr, Murray: "Take the vote." Several delegates: "No, no." Charles Austin said that if it was decided to take the vote he would move an amendment for an extension A 9 Bond St. West FOURS - DURANT AND RUGBY COMMERCIAL VEHICLES COMPREHENSIVE display of Durant Cars, fours and sixes, / and Durant and Rugby commercial vehicles will be found in the Durant exhibit at the Oshawa fair, See this display----the distinctive body lines of the cars and the sturdy build of the trucks--ask one of the attendants why the Durant product is the best dollar for dollar value on the market----a demonstra- tion will be arranged without obligation, See Them AT THE FAIR DURANT AND Built by DURANT MOTORS OF CANADA, LIMITED TORONTO - SIXES CANADA DURANT Thickson Motor Sales Phone 533 Mr, Gundy replied that the inten- tion was to keep Dr, Endicott in the matter should be considered by a ses- After further discussion partici- of time for discussion. The council was then asked to decide whether the vote on the appointment should be taken, but the roar of affirmative and negatives seemed to be so equally divided that the Moderator asked for a standing vote. Scrutineers report- ed that the majority had been in favor of cutting the discussion, but that a two-thirds vote was required and this had not been received. Charles Austin then moved that the council adjourn and the business committee set the time for the re- sumption of the debate. This car ried without discussion and the mat- ter automatically dropped. In presenting the report of the board of maintenance and extension, J. H. Gundy said the church had plans that called for the expenditure of much more money than was avail- able: Givings should be increased. There had been too much talk about money and it should not be neces sary. The job was there to be done and they should go to it and do it thoroughly, But the impressive meeting of the evening session was not the only out- standing event of the day. There came in the afternoon a brief period in which discussion flamed and died again when the council split in its first division of a question not yet settled and when the thought of commissioners and listeners alike turned momentarily to the subjects on the agenda paper for considera- tion next week when the first serious discussions may come. These in- clude ordination of women in the pulpit of the United Church; the place of women on the church courts; the attitude of the church toward peace and the allied question of ca- det training and the administrative problems that must engage attention. Lively Debate The division in the afternoon and the discussion leading to it provided a lively few minutes before a motion to adjourn was carried with the un- derstanding that the business com- mittee would name a time for the re- sumption of the debate. While the divergence in the coun- cil was concerned on a technicality, the division did not settle anything except that the matter under debate should not then be voted upon with- out further discussion. The subject was the appointment of Rev. Dr. Charles Endicott of the Home Mission Board, as associate secretary for the maintenance and extension fund of the church with headquarters in the west and to work in collahoration with Rev. Peter Bryce, of Toronto. The motion to appoint was made by J. H. Gundy, of Toronto, chairman of the Main- tenance and Extension Board, and seconded by Dr. Oliver, of Saskatoon. Instantly the storm arose. Dr. Lewis, of Calgary, advanced tn the platform and announced he was going to oppose the motion. Since coming to Winnipeg he had heard it as the opinion of many of the com- missioners that the machinery of the church was loaded with officials. It was time to reduce the number rath- er than to increase it. The cost of overhead was already too heavy. Other commissioners hurried into the debate. Finally an amendment to extend the time of discussion was made, but the chair put the question should the vote be taken. This ab- tained a majority, but not the neces- sary two-thirds so the vote was not recorded, Morning Session Except for some discussion of a memorial from the fundamentalist association of the United Church lai- ty asking for a pronouncement from the council on the matter of mod- ernistic teaching the morning's ses- sion of the general council of the United Church was largely concerned with the reception of reports from pension and superannuation and re- lief funds which will be considered later, The fundamentalists had previous- ly cfrcularized the commissioners setting forth their views and asking that the council should make a pro- nouncement regarding certain books some of which are in circulation in the churches. At Thursday's session the council decided that no more memorials should be received, but in the morning Rev. T. Albert Moore, secretary and author of a Book of "Christian Hope" which the funda- mentalists condemn, suggested that an exception be made in the case of the fundamentalist submission and a special committee be named to deal with it. The commissioners at once showed differences of opinion, Some thought that the matter was sufficiently im- portant to be considered. Others did not so regard it and urged that the communication be tabled without ae- tion, J. M. Denyes, of Milton, Ontario, said the memorial was based on a misconception which officers of the church had already corrected. To name a special committee, he thought, would be to magnify it too much, Favored Committee Dr, James Elliott took the opposite view. Even if it were based on a misconception those who sent the me- morial were sincere and did not think so. He favored the appointment of the suggested committee, G. A. Stanley, of Luken, Ontarlo, said it was strange that only the lay- men of the church had been circu- larized. He did not believe that the church had reached the stage where its ministers could not be trusted to consider such things. The council thought that no gom- mittee should be appointed and the matter automatically dropped. Hon. N. W. Rowell, when the re- ports of funds were being received, suggested that moderators in the fu- ture should be relieved of their pas- toral charge so they could give their whole time to the upbuilding of the church through their high office. The council will appoint a commission to study the suggestion and report back, EBENEZER Ebenezer, Sept 10.--Weather on Sunday was ideal and services at Ebenezer were good. Our pastor Rev. J. H.

Phone orders delivered on Thursday choir rendered a beautiful anthem |ents, Mr. and Mrs. H, Flintoff on and Mr. James Hancock sang a solo, In the evening service, Rev, Stainton delivered a very fine ser- mon on the subject 'Pontius Pilate' This is the second of a series on "The men responsible for the death of Jesus," The music in this service was an anthem by the choir and a solo by Mrs. (Rev.) Stainton. The number present was very small and this is very disappointing to those who work so hard for the advance- ment of the church, We hope the | young people will rally arcund and make these services a real success, Our pastor always has a splendid message Sunday evening especially for young people and we hopa that the attendance will be larg2r in the future.
