committee was appointed to act under the supervision of the pastor at the meeting of the trustee board on tuesday evening the following re solution was unanimously adoptad whereas the trustee board of this church has slnco the opening and dedi cation of thef church nearly fifty years ago followed tho plan of allocating pewm and sittings to members of the congregation who desired them upon payment of a nominal and imlform fee thus providing definite pews and sittings to families and individuals and whereas this church has ex pressed by voto its decision to enter the new united church of canada to be consummated aftcrtue twentyone years of prayerful deliberation by our people and by our rresentutlves to t gg ch an ho- jofnl union commltteo and whereas on and aftei the 10th of june next there will probably be numbersof christian people who have heretofore been members of the pres byterian and congregational churches who have voted to onter tho new united church of canada whowlll bo desirous of uniting with this church and congregation and whereas these members have not been accustomed in the churches ta which they previously belonged to the system of pew rents p be it therefore
