Tlxe Sunday programs leave much to be de­ sired fox' a Christian minded woman or her family. Could a request be sent from this nieet-j ing to our 1 ' ‘ ‘ satibns such as Wingham, Lon­ don, Stratford, for an appropiate, inspiring, good program for our­ selves from, say, 8 to 10 pan.? What a shock to listen to a church service from 7 to 8 p.m. and maybe just in the middle of tlx© benediction, the programme is terminated and “On With The Dance” starts up with hilarity for the rest of the evening. 2. For some meetings, maybe, it would be safer tn say for years back, resolutions have been made, passed and shelved re­ garding Sunday amusement. Since then fines, etc., have been levied so small that it turned out to be an advertisement, rather than punishment. Could our organization approach the powers that be with a suggest­ ion that the fines, etc., be enough to demand action reform? 3. We are approaching twenty-fifth anniversary of church. Our W.M.S. across Can­ ada have taken up the Advance programme. Let us resolve in­ dividually to take this idea to heart and tty to double our mem­ bership within the next five years. That would mean each member must influence one non­ membet to become a member. It sounds easy, but in some com­ munities that is quite a chal­ lenge, Let us put our shoulders to the task. The invitation o Grand Bend ; for 1950 was accepted and after a few words by Mrs. Desjardins, the meeting was closed with prayer by Mr, Mair, Hicks, of Cen- the report of and Courtesy I cher the home in which he has been living on William Street.
