Regier, ChurCh Life Conven- er with the Bible reading. ,Theme of the meeting was "to love is to serve". Members were welcomed by Fr. A. P. Spencer, Diocesan Direc- tor; Mrs: J. J. Gardiner., Dioces= an President; Ft. E. J. Dentinger , C.R. , pastor of St. Joseph''s, Kingsbiidge and Mrs. John How- and , President of St. JOsePh's Council, Kingsbridge, who also chaired the meeting. Miss Rita Ouellette, Diocesan kecording Secretary, showed a most interesting and informative film strip entitled , "Getting Work Done Through Groups", People, grouped together do important' things. Leadership is a responsib- ility and an honour. Each mem- ' ber has something to contribute some talent - 'something to enrich the group. We all have lirnita .- tions. Hidden factors influence 6, example, turmoil with teen- . • agers , lack of money; sickness; etc. Some falsely think that compromise and a difference of opinion are signs of weakness, and should be avoided. Creative compromise is more than good will. It takes knowledge skill arid .people. There are two types ' to be found in a group (1) spon- taneous theSe people are free wheeling and give freedom to ex- plore (2) evaluative -these people use ideas that are'analyzed and tested before being 'presented.. People react different- ly in these climates. 'Both kinds ate welcome in a group. The group is enhanced by the know- ledge, skills and values of all members. Fr. Spencer in his talk to the members emphasized the import-. • ance of-each member in each ' bouncil. All are really needed to help to work for God and country.; True Christian womanhood is pro-. moted in home and family life by women at the local, national and international level. Our theme throughout the year is "to love is to serve". How can I best promote the league and its ideals? Each member is needed and should attempt to capture the feeling and realization of what it is to love and,serve. 'St.' Paul said, "I am foolish for Christ". Because we love God we want to . serve. A single strand of'string is easily broken but it can be ' woven into a cable. So also there is strength to be found in, the membership of 100,00 ladies across Canada. The national organization is as strong as each individual member. 'Fr. Spencer expressed the need not only for'. more members but for enthusiasm and hard work. The C. W.L. can do much to-promote worthwhile projects for Church and commun- ity. The Diocese of London has much, to give at the provincial level.' It is not so much a question of what can the league do for me but what can' I do' for the league? . . Individual groups were formed to discuss questions of intei!est. These included such questions as, how to interest young people to become more actively involv- ed. Is it more effective to work as a group tather than as individu- als? Should one big project be undertaken or a number of projects? At noon a buffet style lunch was served by the catering com- mittee of the Kingsbridge After lunch a member from each discussion group reported to the group as a whole on what transpir- ed in their individual discussions. In this way many excellent sug- gestions and ideas were put forth. A report was given hY-each— convener of a standing committee These included Organization, : Mrs. P. J. Belanger, Windsor; Church Life , Mrs. William 'Regier , Dashwood; Christian Fam- ily Life, Mrs. R. M. Bingham, Amherstburg; Communications . and Public Relations, Mrs. T. A. Gerski, Harrow; Social Economic/ and Civic Life, Mrs. Frank Loh- uis , Mount Elgin; Social Action, Mrs. Lyle Kirby,. Ridgetown and Cultural Life , Mrs. Lawrence Howard , London. The informative and worthwhile day came to a close when Ft. Spencer led the group in prayer. • Ministers and lay delegates Of Bruce Presbytery, Hamilton Cori- ferenceenjoyed the drive through "The Bruce" (arrayed in its fall colours) to Wiarton, September 26.
