President Nelson Retires

It is known quite generally among the workers and members here in Canada that I am retiring this month from the presidency of the Canadian Union Conference. It was a little more than twelve years ago when we entered upon the work in this wonderful field. These years have been busy ones. Working with workers in all of our conferences and institutions and associating with our members all across Can- ada has made our work and associations the very happiest. We have a wonderful people in Canada who are burdened for the work in their own communities, in their own conferences, in all of Canada, and for the world-wide mission programme as well. With an ever-changing corps of workers connected with our various organ- izations, yet there has always been the same spirit of earnestness, consecration and

dedication to the interests of the Cause of God. President and Mrs. W. A. Nelson Through all these years, my wife and I have looked upon our workers and members as personal friends. These ties of friendship will always be interwoven with our constant recollections and reflections upon the work in Canada and our long years of service in this country. We leave Canada with the assurance that the best years of the work are just before us. I know that you will give the newly-appointed president who is to be selected this week the same wholehearted co-operation and support that you have given through these happy years that have so speedily come and gone. The Lord keep each of you true and faithful to the Cause of Truth and may the coining of the Lord be a bright hope within all of our hearts that we may meet again in the Kingdom of our God. W. A.

William's Lake Baptism Sabbath, June 30, was a high day in the life of Pastor G. W. Reid, district leader for the Central Cariboo. The first candidate for his first baptism since his ordination, was his own daughter, Karen. Driving out of town to a secluded lake, where so many other baptisms had taken place, a group from Williams Lake and the Beaver Valley Churches had the privilege of witnessing the baptism of three young people from the Williams The Winnipeg first Vacation Bible School Lake Church, Karen Reid, Bernard Neu- feld, and D'Arcy Renton.
