to accept Leadership. be it OF a
society or of committee and
thus help to relieve a real need
among church workers, it finally
exparde,. to the question of why
more newcomers lid not come
to church.
Many interesting view points
were thus obtained. One of the
debatcrs said that in her church
a conscious effort had and was
being made 10 contact strangers
out that the proportion of church
workers was So much smaller
than the influx Of newcomers
that the matte had gotten out
of hand She suggested that new
corners might help by coming
regularly tn church and being
/ patient about meeting members

The debate was brought to a
close by Mrs. Green whose OPP
inion was that the need for con-
certed action in meeting new
comers and bringing them to
church is very urgeant.
