Pastoral Charges In 1711's Province May Be Affected

er. aorm, N. n. June Ill-Grants necessary ior 103 aid-receiving past- oral charges in the Maritime prov. inces and three in Bermuda which also came under the jurisdiction of the committee were renewed at the meeting of the executive oi the Home Misslmis Committee oi‘ the Maritime Conference oi the United Church of Canada. which was held yesterday siterooouin the Centenary Church school room. Rev. Hugh Miller. oi 5t. iDavlcfs church, occupied the chair. Those present were: Rev. Mr. Mill- er. Rev. M. McNn. Matthews. secre- tary; Rev. Dr. J. W. McConnell, of Amherst, superintendent of Home Missions; Rev. Dr. James Ross. o! Halifax; Rev. H. C. Rice of Saint

John; J. Hunter White and E. Thompson. It was found it the executive

meeting that eleven pastoral charge-s

in all could now be removed from

the list of those needing support. In many other case, pastoral charges have promised increased local pay- ment on salary and thus have made renewed grants possible. some of the afleoted are: Alma, in Albert County: St. Andrews; Water-

bury. Jogglns; Bolyston; Port Hast-

ing, in Nova Scotia: Cavendish. Mur- ray Harbour and Murray Bay. all of

Prince Edward Island.

The-saving in grants eflected by the above amalgamation and by re- arrangement and by slight reduc- tions in grants in a number of other fields, was found to total approxi-

mately $10,000 per annum. The grant.‘ to fields that were today ap-

proved will go forward to the execu- tive oi the Home Mission Board in Toronto, ior- iurther approval. _
