matter of the status of an elder had been referred. reported that hi: committee was in favour of seating the elder whose right to sit nod been challenged and he moved accordingly. Discussion en- suing participated in by Dr, Muf- "Y. Dr. Quigley. Rev. Hugh Jack and the law governing the Con- stitution of synod being read, it became evident that diversity of view on the matter existed. whereupon and in view oi the facts disclosed and lsw as read, the 'Moderator ruled that the mo- tlon to approve the seating of the Elder was incompetent.

The Clerk then moved, second- ed by Dr. Davies. that in view of the fact that a second Elder had come to the synod under similar circumstances and inasmuch as they had come in good faith, they should be received and seated as corresponding members, and since the congregations from which the Elders had come had paid their allocations to the Synod fund. the treasurer be authorized to pay the expenses of these Elders, the understanding being that the Clerk would by appealing unoffi- cially to the Clerks of Assembly as- certain their views touching the matter that had arisen and sub- mit the same to the Synod next year. -

Mr. Lawson show- ed by the submission of numer- ous figures, incidents and illus- trations that he had studied the matter deeply and his presentation of the subject of missionary giv- ing grefitly impressed the Synod.

At the close of his address, he asked that Mr. H. M. Jackson. whom he had found to be deeply interested with himself ih the subject, be heard, following which and after discussion by several itembers of the Court, Mr. Law- son moved the following recom- mendations which, with the report as a whole on motion of Dr. Lang -\vere approved:

“i, That this synod now place itself on record as laying upon all congregations as a solemn duty the raising this year of i947 the 1uli amount allocated by Presby- teries towards the Budget of the Church,

"2. Further, that the allocations for the year i948 be changed, that in each case the increase to same

cations be revised for next year to rca:l accordingly.“

The Synod heard Dr. ll-lcNab with sympathy and inter- est and at the clos: of his address Mr. Jeans moved and it was sec- onded by Rev. A. O. MacLean and agreed touching the Record and Dr. McNab as follolvs: _

cord in its new and enlarged ‘form. "2. That the Record be most

diligently commended to our peo- ule by all our ministers within the bounds.

At the close of Mr. Butcher's in- teresting address. it was moved by Mr. Bean, seconded by Mr.
