United Ch; Anhwal Meeting Reveals Cburch Free of Debt 0 The annual business meeting af St. Paul's United Church was held Monday night, Jan. 27 with the minister, Rev. G. Cameron Quigley presiding and Roy Lun- ney acting as secretary. Af ter a brief dévotional period, reports from the variaus organizations, .committees and boards were pre- sented. These reveaied that mnuch work had been done in 1946 in every department and that the general picture ai the congregational lufe was quite en- couraging. The reports oi the work clone and contributions made by the women of the church, aiways a cause for thanksgiving, were ex- cellent. They macle known ta ail present the extent of the wo- men's interests in cases oi sick- ness and confinement ta homes within the congregation; the in- struction of the young in baby band, mission band and C.G.I.T.; and aiso a iiveiy iaterest in the wider conceras ai women in the church at large throughout the worid. From a financial point%t view the Women's Missionary groups and Women's Association had a most successiul year, the W.M.S. and Eveniag Auxiliary raising a total ai $640 and the W.A. $985. The Sunday Schooi report drew attention to the fact that aithough it is fortune ta operate with an efficient -and complete staff af teachers and officers it is not reaching every boy and girl within the church. The co-opera- tion of parents was earnestiy re- quested in order that each child in every home receive that in- struction -and training most vital ta Christian citizenship. Parent- hood places great responsibility upon the home. Christian parent- hood compels parents ta discharge that responsibility. The Sunday School with optimism enters a new year. The statement af the Board of Stewards was most gratifying and showed extensive repairs and decorating done, ail obligations met and a substantial financial balance on hand. Interest in the Missionary and Maintenance work of the church has greatly increased' over the years and 1946 had more con- tributing to this department than ia any previaus year with the resuit that the church gave con- sîderably beyoad its allocation irom Presbytery. $632 was for- warded ta Toronto for the M. & M. Fuad. Possibiy the most significant report in aay churh meeting is that ai the Session or Board that oversees the spiritual liiie ai the congregation.

The highlight of this annuai meeting came at the close af the various reports when Alex L. McGregor, representing the Trus- tees, gave a 'concise .history of a mortgage that many years ago had been piaced against the manse and which had been paid off about a year ago. This mort- gage, amounting ta $2,400, re- mained without being paid or re- duced until five years ago when a concerted effort was started ta re- Bey. G. Cameron Quigley move it. TÉhrough the work of a committee and the generosity of the people the debt was quickly and completely liquidated. Mr. McGregor presented the docu- ment of the mortgage to the Min- ister with instructions that it be burned, thus finalizing ail debt on the church property and indi-j cating a debt free church. The honor of burning this morgage was given to Miss Clara Allen and Mrs. Thomas H. Knight, who have had long membership in St. Paul's.

Since the above report was re- ceived the editor of The States- man has uncovered documents of much interest in connection with the history of St. Paui's church. These include the original title deed, a mninute book showing do- nations from members which are entered in pounds, shillings and pence, and a copy of the docu- ment enclosed in the corner stone, which have this week been handed to the minister of St. Paul's for safekeeping. The deed is dated March 18, 1870, and transfers the quarter acre at Church and Silver streets from Thomas Brodie, Innkeeper, Bowmanville, to the Trustees of the Canada Presbyterian Church at Bowmanville, on payment of $1200 cash which was duly paid. Acting for the Church were Trus- tees J. B. Fairbairn, Marshall Porter, John Murdoch and Fran- cis F. McArthur.
