Mrs. Gilntore,. a former teacher, a mother and a grand- mother, spoke of the home and Christ ran trey elolliu,ttnt. She said the basic foundation -in the de\ elupn►ent of the personality is the underlying trust and love between member's of a family: The hoose must provide for the child to grow in self esteem and to love others outside his home. His Christian development roust begin with the attitude of his parents. MtC,'. Gilmore said a child must learn that it is man's responsibility to learn to r I w use the resources for the good of a l I. Miss Coxcal, , a student at Central Secondary 'School lr1 Stratford, -said she believed teenagers should try to attend church regularly as "Church is a place to study life and to heir ourselves and others around us with the problems we all have in this day and age". She said in every generation people bet- ween the ages of ,14 and 20 have' not attended church frequently but after, marrying and the arrival of the children they return as _ regular church members. She said she was confirmed into the church at 15 but thought it too young an age to snake such an important decision•as committing yourself to be a Christian. Miss. Coxon stressed the im- portance of bible study which should never end. . ` Mrs. Broughton, a Public Health Nurse in Perth County, said: "We have to love, accept and deal with ourselves before we can love and accept others." She stressed, the importance of ber.rng responsible in Dour dealings with others. - Mrs. Broughton said If you don't take your beliefs seriously, .your kids won't eit her. to concluding, Mrs. Broughton - jd, "We' often forget that even the smallest act.of kindness is a gift onove and should be accepted as such. The most important part of giving is the personal friendly touch, the love that goes along with the gift." . Mr. Bonsteel, a :.probaon officer for Perth, said ' that Oen a 'person breaks the law and ends up in prison he would not welcome the minister who arrives officiously. If the minister Went as a friend, he would be gratefully received, Mr. Bonsteel said, and then may he able to help. He urged church members to become an outgoing, concerned grcrctp to reach. - out to 'the people who need them most, thus growing toward ..Christian development. Reports by the various 'com- mittees were given by, means of a skit performed by the executive members, Shoulders to the Wheel, in which each committee ;was considered. a spoke in the wheel. The highlight of the. after- noon session was the address by Mrs. 'Patricia Clarke, Toronto, Associate Editor of the United Church Observer. She said • that people com- plain that women are too busy in the community to do church work but church work is- not what you do inside the church building. We can think of the church as a training centre to prepare people to go out and use their Chrjstianity in a hun- dred .different places, she said.
