Calgary Holds Lay Evangelism Retreat A group of interested laymen and church leaders of Calgary met at Camp Rundle for special Revival meetings, September 9, 10, and 11. The study for the weekend was based on the book, Steps to Christ. Various church leaders were given two to three chapters of the book to present. After the sessions the groups gathered into prayer bands. These same groups also had buzz sessions to learn through dia- logue how the church can become more effective in soul winning.

Since April of this year, e. the plans committee has been drawing up ideas for a new and women's residence hall at Kingsway College. When Dr. A. E. King, the plans committee chairman, and his committee members presented their ideas to the school board on September 19, their proposals were unanimously accepted. Construction of the new complex is scheduled to begin before the end of this year. No definite price has yet been established, but it is estimated that the complex will cost approximately one million dollars to complete. ,.9 The site of the new complex is in the lot north east of the present girls' dormitory. The three- building complex will house a kitchen, the dormitory and a chapel and cafeteria.

The cafeteria is designed to seat 300 and the chapel, in which joint activities will take place, can hold 400. The dormitory will contain 34 suites. The suite, two rooms with a bathroom between them, has proven both popular and effective in modern dormitories across Canada and the . Each bedroom measures 12 feet by 231/2 feet. To the rear of the main entrance is the apartment for the dean of women. This apartment will have a separate entrance. In the upper left of the illustration is the three- storey girls' dormitory.
