FOR THE PRE ENrr DI rrRE T HE BI HOP ha anction d for u e in the Dioce e at the pre ent

time of distre the following prayer for the unemployed which ha been ent by mail to all cler ·y. All hurch people are asked to u e it daily.

Lord our H avenly Fath r, we comm nd to Thy pro­tectino- car and compa sion the men and women ufferino­di tre s and anxiety through lack of work. Keep them from lo of charact r, kill and power, and from the de -pair that come "' ith con tant di appointment. upport and treno·then them, w be eech The ; and o give O'uid­ance to tho e to whom i ommitted the duty of O'Overn­ment and tho e engaged in indu trial life, that Thy peopl may be et fre from want and anxiety, and may be nabl d to labour in ecurity, to the r elief of their nece sitie and the wellbeing of our land, for the sak of J u hri t ur Lord, Amen.

FOR THE DI E E The Bi ho i al o O'lad to anction the cu tom whi h ha grown

up in some part of the Dioce e of in er ting cer tain wor ds into the "Prayer for the Clergy and P eople", o a to read:

nd down upon our Bi hop and lergy, ( e pecially Thy ervant Rocks'borou ·h to whom Thou ha t given charO'e

over thi Dioce e, the lergy of thi Dioce e), and all con­gr egation committed to their charo-e etc.

THE CHUR H ' RULE REGARDIN MARRIAGE T HE BI H P wi h to r mind the cl rgy that it i the rule of

our Church that weddino· hall be olemnized within the hurch building it l£, and not in par onage or oth r private hou e . Thi rule hould be departed from only in ca e of real nece ity. The parish pri t mu t, of course, b the judge of what con titu te neces ity, becau e he know all the circum tance , but he hould not be too a ily p r uaded by peciou argument ; for in the e day when the Church' marriage law i op nly flouted and di­vor e are o common, we mu t do all w can to emphasize the olemnity of thi acred ordinance, and thi we can do by inve t ing

the ervice with the reverence and aw which God' holy house hould in pire. In thi Diocese the e consideration are trength­

ened by the fact that th ynod at it e ion in 1926 called upon all clergy and laity to r nd r obedience to the paragraph in the "' onstitution and anon " of the Dioce e whi h tate that " the rule of the Church i that 'bapti m , marriage and funeral be olemnized in the church. "

The Rev. Thoma W. Daniel, who ha been in charO'e of the mi · ion of Bala for orne time pa t, ha b en a J ointed to tl1e char

M ANY of the Recommendatio11 made by th Ano·lican Nationa l Commi ·ion cau ed a great deal of discus ion at the General

Synod, and ome of them w r con iderabl~ revised before they wer e accepted. In fact a o·ood proportion of the time of the Gen­eral SJ n od wa occupi ed in thi "ork of discussion and revision. On one o ca. ion tw o line· of print, at the beginning of Recommend­ation 5, on New Dioceses o en p ied th e "·hole of on e evenin g, and then wer e not pa d .

Unfortunately th debate on this ·ubject "·a .· ·plit up b~· oth er bn iness into two or three dif­ferent occasion , and th la k of continuity somewhat . poilt its; effectivenes . In the end h owev r , the clause, a · it ev ntnally ap­p eared after con iderabl revi ·ion "·a ver,,- different from what it r ead as originally presented to the Synod . A th matter is a very imr ortant one for a missionan· d ioc s , " ·e propo e to s t before om· reader a clearly a · we an th various alt eration.· mad e in the clause.

As originally framed it . read a fo lio"· : "rrhat, . in ce in the ""parsely ettled pa rts of our ·onntry the diffi nlty in rea hing, with an) degree of regularity th . catt red group of our people, is alma t insurmountable, '"'hi h difficulty extend · to oth r Chri -tian communions, we recommend that in the intere t of the Chri -tian faith an advanc be made to the authorit ie of the United Chnrch aud th Pre by terian hurch "it h a 'ievi to di covering if some arrangement could be made for a more friendl~- a-operation with them in th matter of mini ~ tering t o the ·e mall units, subj ect always to the prin iple being lea dy indicated that " ·e mnst ad­minister the a rament to our o" n p ople . .. .

A great deal of oppo ·ition naturally how d it. elf to this pro­po al, for it eemed to indicate that if vi·e found it difficult to min­ister to little cattered group of hurch p eople in i olated spots which are not easy to r ach, we hould hand them over to ·ome Protestant body; wherea the principle upon whi h "' e have always gone hitherto has been th at we mu t use even · ndcavour that is humanly possible t o r each our own people h.owrver r emote and .iso lated they may be .

.·hut out the possibility of other religious -bodies handing over cer­tain tracts of country to us on condition that we would not enter their ov.rn tracts. rrhen after the words "an advance be made", the following ·was added, ''through the Bi hops of our Church'', putting it up to the Bishops to take the fir rt steps, which would mean that in many dioceses they would never be taken at an. Another amend­ment omitted the reference to the United and Presbyterian Churches, o that this clause read, " to the authorities of other Ch ristian commtmiom; iu the several localities concerned." In thi. altered form the recommendation was passed by the Lo,ver House, Cat holic-minded Churchmen feeling that our defiliite Church prin-iples had been safeo·uarded.

In th Upper Hous , however, it "as felt that the Recomm nd­ation was still dangerou ·, and the Bishop of Algoma moved to add tlH•se word· at the end: "nor does it impl,v that v; e should in any wa y relax our effods to afford ·piritual ministrations to all our people, however remote from onr churches. '' 'fhis was seconded, and after some debate carried unanimously, thouo·h the fear wa · •xpre · ·ed that it would not be accepted by the J..Jower House. How­ever, this fear was ground less for after a short debate it was car­ried wi h onl.r a small handful of dis ntients.

\nd novY, in its final and revi · d form, what does the Recommend­ation mean . Read it right through, and you will find it v ry diffi­cult to say, for the la. t part of it contradicts the first. And that is perhaps the best thing that could happen to a Recommendation like this, ·which in its unrevised form would have been a great di ·couraO'ement to some of the very best of our clergy, who, fo1low­in g the example of our 1hurch throuo·hout the long years of her mi · ionary effort, have bent every sinew and strained every nerve to minister in the acred thino·s of God to every hurch of England man woman and child whom they could po. sibly reach. Certainly it would have disheartened a great number of very faithful Church people to know that their spiritual Mother was willing to give them over into other hands. A it stands, the Recommendation is self­con tradictory it is true, but at least "its poison has been ab­st 1·a t d," as a famous war Padre in th Synod said.

On unday, August 30th, two of our Algoma clergy the Ven. Archdeacon Burt and the Rev. Lawrence Sinclair, celebrated the fortieth annivers~ary of their ordination, that of the former :to the diaconate and that of the latter to the priesthood. Both were or­dain d by Bishop Sullivan in the Church of the Redeemer, Rosseau. Th '' A. M. N.'' joins with man,v fri nels in congratulations upon their long and fruitful ministry.

A GENERAL SYNOD HANDBOOK

A BOOK of great value to all vvho are interested in the govern-· ment and organization of our Church (and all its members

should be) is the " Handbook to the Work of the General Synod of the hurch of England in Canada," compiled by the Rev. Maurice R. Kingsford, M.A. 'rhis is a vvork of permanent value, for although the General Synod of 1931 is over, yet the work it has done will affect the hurch for many years to ome, and as time goes on the General Synod will become more and more a power for good in the

hurch. And this i the only book so far published which has at-· tempted to give the history, development achievement and out­look of the enera l Synod.

The book can be obta ined throu()'h the G. B. R. E. , 604: Jarvis tr·eet , Toronto 5 for $1.00 a copy.
