After several somewhat lengthy (?) reports by committee chairmen, the important points may be summed. up as follows: Lion Harold Lawson reported on the International Convention held in Pittsburg. He gave an interesting account of the work as carried on by Lions International, pointing out in particular some of the more inter- esting and worthy phases of the con- vention. Lion Ken Waters gams a running account of the "Dreamboat" district Qon.vsition, sponsored by the clubs of Sarnia zone, and which took the form of a boat trip to Chicago. District officers were appointed, this zone be- ing highly honoured by having one of its members elected to the office of District Governor. The trip was most enjoyable, the only. drawback being that for most of the journey they were in a fog.

Seager, Lord Bishop of Huron, in an impressive service in which the bishop was as- sisted by the rector, Rev. A. R. O'Neil. The service was largely at- tended by adherents of the church and friends from sister churches who turned out to hear the distinguished churchman. The Bishop based his address to communicants and congregation' on a portion of the Lord'rs prayer,' shoes - ing specifically the sentence, "Thy will be done". True and abiding hap- piness, said the speaker, can be at- tained only by perfect submission to the Divine will in all circumstances and conditions of life. "God is omni- potent to overrule the affairs of the world and of men but He will not coerce men to do His will," he said. "Men must work out their own dest- iny by doing His will of their own free will." Failure to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, and exer- cising the will in the pursuit of pow- er, has gotten the world into a con- dition of horror and destruction, the bishop declared. The communicants were pledged by his Lordship•in •accordance with the ritual of the church and in the laying on of hands. The class in- cluded Lillian Churchill, Mrs. Nor- man Counter, Betty Williams, Bar- bara Snell, Margaret Taylor, r, Mrs. Charles Wilson, Marie Savage, Jeal Tasker, John Cook, Gerald' Fremlin, Bud Schoenhals, Douglas .
