The church's 74th general assembly was scheduled to | up in the Peace Bridge area, end today. A full-scale debate on two articles of faith -- pre- | destination and divine election -- was expected during final | stages of the eight-day session, A national committee on iin | age, divorce and re-marriage was | suggested Wednesday night in a re- | port from Montreal Presbytery.

Hope, said there was increasing agi- tation for civil marriage in Ontario by divorced persons. He said pro- vincial law permits ministers to marry divorced persons-with a civil, non-religious ceremony but Presby- terian church law provides that ministers may marry only the "in- nocent party" of a divorce. This placed the responsibility of determining the "innocent party" on | the minister, Mr. Fowler explained -- a responsibility many ministers wish to avoid by having civil marriages | instituted. "Is the church to say 'I believe in p forgiveness of sins' and you and ! as ministers, add to ourselves 'ex- cept adulterers'?" he asked. Earlier, assembly members voted 84-83 against a proposal. to send | ministers-in-training to the divinity | faculty at McGill University. The assembly approved 1948-49 budget estimates of $600,000. Actual | allotments for church work in Can- | ada and abroad totalled approxim- ately $400,000. "Our people are not realizing 100 pe: cent of the needs of our church," said F. A. McDiarmid of Ottawa.

Smuts. who recently was defeat- ed as Prime Minister of South Afri-| | ca said the technique was the mod- | [ern substitute for war and served | [ the aggressor as wel] as war itself. | The white-bearded statesman | | spoke at ceremonies at which he was | proclaimed Chancellor of Cambridge, | | an honorary academica post. Smuts contended that, while the | fifth column menaced western civ- | ilization, preparedness for war was | insurance against it. "It is a fair inference that if we are reasonably prepared and our touse from the defence point of | view is in good order, we have noth- ing to fear," he said. The correct counter-measiire was firmness. "For those who treasure the west- i ern heritage, the hour has struck to call a halt to this fifth column and, | to the great power behind it in clear | terms: Thus far and no further. The hand of friendship is offered in all | sincerity, but only on that irrevoc- | able condition." { Pifth column aggression did not | | envisage a shooting war and its | makers would not lightly risk one.
