Seminar
Planned by
Methodists
New York About 140
Methodist women from all
parts of the United States will
gather in Greensboro, N.C.,
July 21-31 for a National
Seminar on Christian Social
Relations. Sponsored by the
Woman's Division of Christian
Service of the Methodist
Board of Missions, the seminar
is helI every four years to
give Methodist women an
opportunity to consider inten
sively some aspect of Christian
social relations." The theme
for the 1959 quadrennial sem
inar will be "The Family in a
World of Rapid Social
Change."
In speeches, panels and dis-
cussin groups, the effect of
fast-moving social and tech
nological changes on families
around the world will be con
sidered by the women. They
will discuss the implications
of the theme for the program
of two Methodist women's
groups, the Woman's Society
of Christian Service and the
Wesleyan Service Guild.
Three interlocking aspects
of the seminar theme will be
considered by the delegates:
Culture and Social Change,
Technology and Economic
Issues, and "Eternal Values"
in the Context of Our Chris
tian Faith. A speaker will key
note each subject and set the
Stage for small-group discus
sions. The place for the sem
inar will be the campus of
Bennett College, a women's
college supported by the Wom
an's Division of Christian Sci
ence. Two special resource lead
ers will be Mrs. Jonah Chit
ombo of Southern Rhodesia,
and Mrs. Ang Kim of Singa
pore. Both of these Methodist
women have been brought to
the Unitec States by the Wom
an's Division to participate in
the seminar and to meet with
Methodist women throughout
the United States during the
fall, winter and spring of 1959-
60.
Representing the Oregon

be Miss Geneva McDonald,
Oregon City, secretary of
Christian Social relations for

The two were among the

The Roundup closed Sun

The final gathering of the
delegates also featured folk

While at the Roundup Miss
Finch wrote home of various
events wfyich occurred rang

to sudden windstorms.
One evening we had a sud

up to 65 miles per hour. You
should have seen the tents go

our brand new tents broke,

Ten minutes later the only

sounds like there was some
thing we could have done, but
really there wasn't.
"One minute I was trying
to get the. fires going and the
very next minute I was trying
to keep my feet on the
ground. They., gave us a pew

with our tent repair kit, but
our kitchen fly is still, down
and we're doing most of our
cooking with New Jersey.
"After 10 minutes it was
still and the rest of the night
was clear and warm. It was
a different experience, but
don't think we got the worst
of it. One girl was hit on the
head with a tent pole, one
girl fractured her wrist try
ing to hold on to a tent pole,
and the tents up on the hill
all went down!
"For a moment we were all
ready to come home, but of
course, as soon as we got our
tents back up we were busy
joking about it.
