On Tuesday, May 8th, fourteen ladies gathered at the home of Margaret VanCamp for the after- noon unit meeting of the U.C.W. President Marion Larmer opened the meeting with an amusing poem "Someone Else." The meaning was that if we want things done we must 'put our shoulder to the wheel' ourselves and not always depend on another person to do the work. Then Marion thanked Margaret and Eileen Byers for the lovely dessert lunch. The topic, '"The Uses of Inter- ruption" was given by Jean Adams. Miracles don't just hap- pen, a lot of hard work and deep dedication are spent. This can leave one happy with the results but physically tired. A hymn "Dear Lord and Father of Mankind," was sung. The offering was taken followed by prayer by Jean. Our speaker was Grace Hall who began by telling us that two hundred and fifty churches across Canada are maintained by missionary givings. She spoke of the change in Toronto from one culture to a cultural mosaic or melting pot of cultures. We must understand that Christianity is not the only great world religion. Grace and her husband visited Morocco in Northern Africa where the Islam religion is supreme. Grace shared informa- tion on the Islam religion and showed pictures taken in Morocco. The treasurer's report was given by Jean Ferguson. The next general meeting is May 30th. Carol Thornton is to speak on stress.
