The sessions lasted until -Thursday night. .Four huhdre,d or moreI. delegates were finally registered. The six ordinands were officially interviewed by,, the committee on colleges and, students, under the cheirnianship . of Rev.. H. M. Hunter of St. Thomas. The ordination was • slated for Thursday evening, with the Rev. N. Bruce McLoed, M.A., B.D„ Th. D. of Hamilton addressing the ordinands. Rev. Angus Meacham, president of conference; started the "new 'look" of the conference by the seminar on Church .Union. In discussion groups of 10 the delegates considered briefly many aspects of the problems related to the proposed union of the Anglican and the United Church of Canada: Following the group discussions members of a panel formed from various commissions on Church Union. discussed questions from the floor. Emphasis was placed on the laymen's concern for the "grassxoots" of the church to be included in new church thinking. The laymen are more concerned with a faith that serves than with theological niceties. One delegate voiced his total lack of interest in the denomina- tionalism of today. The facilities of the University of Windsor, the Students' Centre, the dormitories,,, and - the Student Council,. area were extended to the members of the, London Conference as they- -were last ,. year. The United Church recognized a debt of gratitude to. the University authorities for the facilities. Rev. August Meacham, M.M., B,A., B.D.,- of Blenheim was re-elected as president of London Conference for the ensuing. year. This is the first time a president in this conference has been re-elected for two successive years. Among the nominations was the name of a layman, Harold Manriell of Tillsonburg. This shows the new concern for involvi g laymen in ecclesiastical offices. The other two nominees were Regi. Gordon Geiger, of Esser and Rev. Hugh Hunter of St. Thomas.

N. Bruce McLeod, M.A.,Liviiitl We rs rusty e speaker of the conference S I,I,I:demonstrated the aliveness of II o Church, Hamilton, the theme • the church to modem media and conditions. "In a 3yorld of, poverty apd death in other;parts • of our earth," he'k'ffirmed, "it is hard -to be the church in a• rich land. Faced with a kaleidoscope of sensations and emotions, the world " is now bound by a common nervous system. In this ONE humanity can God reach us? Can we recognize that God's glory is NOW and HERE." The Conference was warned that "Things are changing" in the communication' field. In a lively demonstration the committee stressed the extensive area of church communication; in publications, in the .press, in TV_ and radio, and in audio-visual media. They are all valid and significant for the church in today's world. Do you know what's going on? Do you care? What can the church do abolYt it? These questions, impressed by movies of drug addiction and parental concern and frustration,._ were raised by L.. Purdy, regional director of Alcohol and Drug Addiction Foundation, Toronto area. One answer to the multitude of questions in this field for the church is to have a living and loving concern for the' young people of this seeking generation. he said. Witnesses plan training.. program The Goderich congregation of Jehovah's witnesses are making preliminary plans to attend a three-day training program in Wingham, it was announced May 14. Mr. Amoroso, presiding minister of the group, in dissiissingrthis announcement to the congregation pointed to the challenge to Christian thinking and Christian works in the rising tide of materialism. "The object of the program," Amoroso said, "is to equip every one of the . Christian Congregation. of Jehovah's witnesses in the practical use of the Bible as a l tlp in -fortifying the spiritual morale of people in our community: The announcement came as a climax to the weekry ministry -development program held at the 1pcal Kingdom Hall. Amoroso said that Jehovah's witnesses are enrolled in ministerial training of at least five classes weekly. "We maintain," he emphasized, "that if a religion is worth .believing it is worth putting into practice." "For that reason, the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society, sponsors of the three-day Wingham refresher program, have set the . theme of the assembly as "Make Wise Use of the ,:Remaining Time," he explained. "We sincerely 'hope that the advanced training planned for us there will enable us to live closer to the Bible and its teachings'." The program is• scheduled for May 23-25' in F. E.
