Speaker on the final afternoon was Mrs. Barbara Ward, internationally-known British economist, writer, and lec- turer. The conference grew out of the World Council of Churches held at Geneva in 1966. It was agreed at that time that each participating country should have a specialized assembly on poverty in 1967. Canada postponed its meeting because of Centennial celebrations. Co-chairmen of the conference were Hon. Madame Georges P. Vanier, widow of the late Governor-General, and Dr. Charles E. Hendry, director of the University of Toronto School of Social Work. With two-thirds of the world's population going to bed hungry every night, it was not easy to confine the discussion of poverty to Canada alone. "Two-thirds of the world's population live in poverty," stated Dr. de Castro, "and we cannot in all conscience close our eyes to it now." The Seventh-day Adventist Church of Canada was rep- resented at the conference by Mrs. W. E. Kuester, wife of the Lay Activities Department secretary for the Canadian Union. Wearing the uniform of the Seventh-day Adventist Health and Welfare Services, she chose the subject of health as the area in which to participate, and had opportunity to present Madame Vanier with one of the denomination's Health and Welfare manuals. Many people are not aware that there are still more than 1,000,000 Canadians with but three or four grades of While a delegate to the Canadian Conference on Poverty, Mrs. Kuester presented Hon.

In Your Prayers Remember the Student Literature Evangelists Across Canada have thirty-six young people who will be working on scholar- ships. Last summer his student literature evangelists de- livered $66,493.00 worth of literature. We have reason to believe that the programme this summer will be even better. Please remember these young people in your prayers, as well as those in the other conferences across Canada. These young folk will be sharing their faith along with all of our regular literature evangelists. We have come to a very critical time in the history of this world, and this is the hour of decision. May God help us all to remain faithful until Jesus comes. Again we would ask you to keep these young people, as well as the regular No, this is not a used car lot. It just looks like one.
