7. INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS: We would at this time like to
remind any woman who would like to be a member of the Lutheran
Women’s League that Individual memberships are available. This,
of course, applies only to those who reside where no Ladies Aid
exists or where the Ladies’ Aids have ceased to function as such.
Individual members are accorded full voting privileges upon join-
ing and paying the individual fee.
8. NEW BUSINESS: Delegates are invited to bring to the
attention of the Convention any new business relative to the work
of the League. We are always ready to receive any new ideas
which can help us in our work. Please feel free to present your
interests for our perusal.
We wish to thank Rev. Kristján Robertsson for his co-operation
in conducting the Divine Service and Communion for us. The priv-
ilege of partaking of the Lord’s Supper at the outset of the Con-
vention is greatly appreciated by all. A personal note here. During
my first visit to Iceland, it was my good fortune to be in Akureyri
on a Sunday and to attend Church Service in the beautiful
Mattíasar Kirkja there. At that time I heard Rev. Robertsson,
not only preach but also chant. Excellent as his sermon was,
his chanting was even better. It alone was well worth climbing
one hundred and fourteen steps from the street to the churchdoor.
Please accept our sincere thanks for this evening and my thanks
for the service back in 1956.
Our thanks to all the Ladies Aids for making us welcome and
for the gracious hospitality extended to us.
In conclusion I thank all the ladies for coming, for without
you there would be no Convention. May God bless you, your homes
and your loved ones and give you a safe return home and a return
to the Convention next year. Thank you for your attention.
