The Port Hope School, held in the Trinity United Church there, was well attended by elders and stewards from that half of the Cobourg Presbytery. Over 130 attended. The Campbellford School was held in St. John's United Church here and was also well attended by elders and stewards from this half of Cobourg Presbytery. Over 140 attended. Many ministers from the various local charges attended the schools. The two speakers, the Reverend Don Elmsley of Grace United Church in Peterborough, for Elders and the Reverend Doug Pilkey, Eastern Secretary in M & M for Bay of Quinte %and Ottawa-Montreal section, for stewards. The talks were inspirational and yet very down to earth. The Elders learned, some for the first time, the magnitude of their responsibilities to the congregation and to families in their districts. The usual run-of-the-mill efforts of elders had proven sadly inadequate, most of the responsibility of the Church to the community had to pass out through them. Since it is impossible to give what we do not possess, the logic of personal spiritual experience and education was driven home. The record of the Church displays our inadequacy in this regard. We must learn to avail ourselves of the greatest power on earth and learn to use it. The Church must serve the community at home and abroad. The stewards learned that their job was not just seeing to the business and the financial administration of the Church. Many learned for the first time what total commitment really means. Perhaps the most enlightening of all was the exploding of the popular myth "that business and religion do not mix". For too long have we been "separating" the mind and body from the soul. Protestantism is 'dependent on personal rebirth in each generation -- our kindergarten type of Christian faith must mature. Such maturation would be sure to develop if our giving were sacrificial/ The active participation ki the discussion groups that followed the talks showed the awakening interest Salem W.A. On Wednesday evening, March 25, the members of the Salem W. A. met at the parsonage at Colborne'for the Easter meeting. In place of the usual worship period, the group went over to the United Church and attended the special prayer service which was being held that evening. At the close of this inspiring service, the ladies were invited back to the parsonage. With the president, Mrs. Alf. Smith in the chair, the meeting was called to order. Following the opening psalm, an Easter hymn was sung and the Lord's Prayer repeated in unison. The report of the Turkey Supper showed) that it had been a very successful venture, both financially and for the fellowship gained from working together. Sunshine report was followed by an Easter hymn, "Christ Arose" sung by Mrs. Bert Smith, Mrs. Gordon VanWicklin and Mrs. Jack Smith. During the business discussion it was decided that the W.A. would cater for the Brighton Men's Bowling Banquet to be held at the Salem Church Hall on May 6th. It was also decided that the members would save labels from Canada Packers' Products order to eventually obtain a 72 cup coffee percolator for the Church kitchen. n place of the regular programme, Mrs. Alf. Smith gave a very interesting and descriptive account of the two-day Convention at Five Oaks, which she attended earlier this month. Another Easter hymn followed "by prayer by Rev. Taylor brought this part of our meeting to a close. A very tasty lunch, served by the hostess and members of East Group, and,'a half hour of friendly visiting concluded this much enjoyey Easter meeting. aroused by the speakers. A spokeman for each group reported at the final assembly on their groups main areas of discussion. Constructive criticism in many areas of lay activities regarding organization and spiritual activities were the outcome. Many expressed the feeling that the discussion was fruitful but of too short a duration. • Those in attendance at Port Hope were royally fed prior to the school with a turkey supper supplied by the W.A. of Trinity United Church. Those at Campbellford school were given a bounteous buffet lunch after 'the meeting by the local W.M.S.
