Was read,,in t JaalesT Church on Sunday evening+:- Therafter>ioon of the 17th of Octo- ber found the Q.' W L, toliivention tin full swing,, attended by 93 enthusi= ;vatic delegates, Considerable time waulaken up in the usual proceedings ofregistra- tion, reading of minutes introduc- tions, and• ao on, followed by Mra. Dawson, of •Sarnia, reading the, Dominion Convention Re ort :which was most instructive. The reeding and subsequentdiscussion made one feel . that the work of the Catholic Women's League was neither local nor diocesan, but national. • After the striking of the different committe(ees, President Mrs. B. C. McCann, held her audience well in hand ba vigorous address given in a manner that impressed ops with the league's importance and the pros- ident's knowlegable , appreciation of it. Regatding the sulldivision reports that followed, there was necessarily considerable sameness as all were working for the furtherance of Cath- dlic endeavor, and while mane re- ports showed originality and novelty the general tone was along .similar lines. One thing; that struck ,a per- son forcibly was that lack of harm- ony produced skimpy reports, and the best results were, obtained -where dif- ferences were unknown and the wo- men of a parish threw their whole energy into an effort, to advance the league by work, membership and ap- plication of Catholic thought. A de- lightful dinner followed at the Hotel Garner, after which the league's of- ficial opstijng at 8 p.m. took .place in St. Joseph's Hall, with prayer by loather Gnam; greetings, civic and social, and the president's welcome. Next Came • Bishop' Fallon's ad- dress or rather plain blunt words, as he himself expressed it His Lord- ship said it was a mistaken idea on the part of the laity to be grateful to a bishog for priest for attending conventions and meetings. It was their duty to be present, although a pleaenre and honor, too. The speaker made a strong appeal to the local subdivisions to keep up the work of the league,• stressing the fact that the success of the nationbl organization depended entirely upon individual effort; Members who were not active members Were deadwood and worse than no members. The activities of the league could be social relief, educational progress end charitable work in every divis- ion, no matter how small the terri- tory. Along with this Local work could be undertaken the big work of assisting diocesan movements such as seminary endowments, a $5.000 purse he suggested as a very fine thing for the league to undertake. The propagation of the faith should be the special work of every member of the league. His Lordship quoted a noted Card- inal in this connection, who had said that the British Bible Society in the year 1913 alone gave more money for the propagation, of the Protest- ant faith among pagan nations than did the Catholic Society for the pro?. agation 6f the_ faith in 300 years, That was an appalling• statement and showed the necessity for work and almsgiving. He also expressed a very strong wish that each sul)division should help him with a bazaar, to be given in aid of the Precious Blood Nuns, who are locating in London at his most earnest desire. No great intelligence was required to see that he was greatly interested, in fact, positively insistent on the Catholic. Women's League's exist- ence. The C. W. L. was meant to work, its second name was activity, and it„was the business of each indi- vidual to see that the league pro- gressed along these lines against which he would stand for no opposi- tion, National President Mrs. Lovering's address was a jem in itself, giving an insight into? immigration problems, Big Sister movements, co-operative. efforts- with Protestant bodies that were working towards the country's moral and social welfare, particular- ly in the protection, education and guarding of otherwise friendless young girls. Mr. J. C. McNevin spoke on behalf of the Knights of Columbus, the Holy Name Society. St. Vincent de Paul Society and the Catholic Foresters, and said the men's organizations were working along the lines of the C. W. L., as brothers and sisters work together in it good cause, Throughout the evening's meeting some well rendered musical selec- tions were given and after Father Dignan's encouraging words, the first day's meeting adjourned. Thursday. After the delegates had attended mass at St. Joseph's church, all re- paired to the hall, where Miss Drouillard, of Ford City, read a very interesting paper on Social Service. The discussion which followed pro- dueed a motion, carried, that a copy of this paper be sent to each sub- division. Reports of subdivisions and meetings of various committees occupied the balance of the morning and considerable of ttfe time after luncheon et 'Hotel Garner. Amongst the various, subjects up for discussion, a girls' camp seemed to hold the•fancy of not a few. Father Guam had bought some property on • `J. 4 in the r,.

W. -L. usere behind the movement. OL'coutue the Bishop would have to be co spited, and Mrs. Kerwin and Mra. Brophy were ap- pointed'to interview"'bis Lordship - Several motions were carried, such as the magazine ppublidbing more re- ports; each subdivislop paying fare and meals of delegates. The reason for this r latter uioijipn was that smalle; places might. be visited by the convention, and • oder the pres- ent system this would4entaii a hard- ship, as the smeltq membership could not accomntoda all the dele- gates. • Mra. Louvering • addressed the meeting in French at;thia point and was heartily applauded for the ef- fort. With the elestion.tf the officers over, a life membership was present- ed to Mrs, McCann, ' A vote of thanks was extended the. Chatham ladies for their . whole- hearted hospitality and all departed to visit the Pines, conducted by the Ursuline Sisters. Our reception at this Academy was enjoyed, as was also the delicious ter served, the con- cert by the children, and the privilege of roaming at will through their lovely .grounds, this latter a real treat in itself. Taking it all in all, one departs from the convention with a feeling of pleasure at being a member of the Catholic Women's League, with an ambition . to further its interests as seen at`the convention, and with a firm conviction that by employing proper methods, as outlined, by sub- jecting personal ambition to the general good and by becoming some- thing more than merely local, the Catholic Women's League will take its proper place in the national, so- cial and religious services to which it belongs, namely, the top.
