The feeling that spiritual unity is an ultimate necessity has been intensi- fied since subsequent conferences have issued reports and the results of stu- dies of the problems of disunity: One thing all these conferences and studies have made clear---the things which bind Christians together are far 'more 'things which divide them. One of the great spiritual leaders of the last de- cade deseribed this movement towards Christian unity ass "the great new. fact of our era." Oue of the purposes of the Mission to be held in Port Perry, March 12-16, is to provide an opportunity for prac- tical experience in, and a demonstra- tion of, Christian unity of spirit, We therefore call upon all Christian people, and especially those of our own congregations, to sct all thoughts of difference, and join to- gether in true Christian brotherhood for the services to be held during the Mission in"Port Perry. aside Armstron, Minister," John's Presbyterian Church.

The executive for 1956 re- signed in a body to make it possible for a new organization which, it is believed can serve the community un- der today's conditions. In tendering his resignation, Presi- dent Ted Griffen pointed out that the Business Men's Association had no de- program to follow: which fre- quently resulted in lack of co-opera- tion, and he and other members of the executive felt that the time had come to make a change. Mr, Griffen asked Mr. Storey Beare to take charge of the meeting and to intraduce the guest speaker, MR. R. MUNDLE t Mr. R. Mundle, 'T'oronto, of the Can- adian Chamber of Commerce was in troduced and outlined the program of the Chamber of Commerce and some excerpts from his speech follow here: "A Chamber of Commerce has been defined as a voluntary organizatione of public spirited, looking men and women, together promote the industrial, civie, commer cial and agricultural life. of a com- the around it.

The Province of Ontario as Canada's lead- ing Industrial Province, has played a major part in Canada's development in the past and we will continue to do «a in the future. New Industry--Expansion of Exist- ing Industry -- 136 new manufactur- ing industries were established in Ontario during 1953, It is estimated that these industries represent an investment of approximately 75 million dollars in new plants and cquipment, and in Ontario during 1953, 400 million: ted in the expansion of existing plants, new were inve or instapee, under Civie, or Civie betterment, there is a great deal to he done. © Obviously, anything you may try to accomplish in the way of a civie programme, will "he lished only by close co-operation with necomy your elected municipal council.

The inter-dependence of agriculture, Commerce and Indus- try in 1955 makes it imperative that there will be a mutual understanding of one another's viewpoint. Your Chamber of Commerce is the only organization in the community whose prime reason for existence is the economic development ofthe com- munity, of the Province, and of this great country of ours as a whole, The first Board of Trade or Cham- ber of Commerce organized and con- ducted independently of any govern- ment affiliation in Canada, was The Halifax Board of Trade which was established in 1750. The Canadian Chamber of Commerce was formed in 1926, with an initial membership or some 100 organizations. Today there are over TU0 Boards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce representing 110,000 businessmen operating all kinds of businesses, large and small, in all ten Provinces in Canada. To-day, individual initiative and private enterprise are on trial for their lives. The horizon of free-man is becoming narrower almost every day. The alternative 'offered is a system of ruthlessness, fear and sus- picion.

Following this talk the meeting was opened for discussion. Mr. Beare ask- ed Dr. Dymond, M.P.P. for a few words on this subject. Dr. Dymond felt that the Chamber of Commerce could meet the needs of the Com- niunity. Mr. Ronald Peel expressed in opinion that the needs of the Com: munity were greater than at any pre- that efficient aranization was needed to meet the He felt that the of provided the means to accomplish this. The new Dr. McNab, was introuced to meeting and his opinion asked, in favor of the Chamber Commerce.
