Volume XLIII, No. 3 Oshawa, Ontario January 30, 1974 Multi-Lingual Evangelistic Center in L. L. REILE, President, Canadian Union Conference New and commodious quarters have been recently acquired in Toronto to house a church and multi-lingual evangelistic center. On December 29 the Hungarian Church moved into these quarters, with over 90 people present to participate in the day's activities. Guest speaker was L. L. Reile, recently elected president of the Canadian Union. Visitors were present from Washington, D.C., and other Ontario churches. Elder Stephan Denyi, pastor of the Cleveland, Ohio Hun- garian Church was also present with a musical group who gave several instrumental and vocal numbers in the meetings. W. Kozachenko is the district leader for the Hungarian believers and baptized two persons at the close of the morning sermon, for which much credit is due Bela Lenart, local elder of the church. The rapidly-growing company of Portuguese members, under the leadership of Elder Henry Feyerabend, also meet in the main sanctuary of the center.

Newfoundland — Walk-A-Thon for Bay View Academy, Lethbridge

Last month the students to the Bay View Jr. Academy in Lethbridge, New- foundland held a walk-a-thon to raise funds for the improvement of the audi- torium. The route chosen covered eight miles. Highlights of the walk was a chal- lenge made by Mr. Robert Prouty, Grade 5-7 teacher, who offered $2.00 per mile to anyone who could race him. He gen- erously gave a head start of ten minutes to anyone interested. This was accepted and won by a Grade 9 student, Wilfred Holloway. Wilfred arrived four minutes ahead of Mr. Prouty, needless to say there was much rejoicing! The sum of $126.00 has so far been realized. New curtains for the stage have been purchased along with other neces- sary items which will add much to the public programs presented. MRS. YVONNE JOHNSON, Teacher Bayview Jr. Academy, Lethbridge

A Tribute to Faithful Church School Teachers Because of You By Lois Evans Hansen

Because of you young hearts have learned to sing Because your strength and courage have not failed, Sweet songs of hope and courage on life's way; Today some child walks where the Master trod Small feet have learned to tread the upward path And carefully is matching his own steps That ever leads unto a brighter day. Into the bloodstained footprints on the sod.

Small hands have learned to fashion more Beloved teacher, do not be cast down Than rounded O's upon a lesson sheet. Because today the goal is dim to view, They've learned to give the gifts of joy and love For boys and girls will play on streets of gold To weary passers-by they chance to meet. In God's fair city just because of you.

Hats off to all fields of the Canadian Union! All have done a great job — a hearty CONGRATULATIONS! Ontario has the largest cash gain over last year, $16,637.10. British Columbia is next with almost $8,000 gain. Newfoundland has the largest percentage of gain — 34.5%. Quebec has the second largest percentage of their goal reached — 192.2%. Man- itoba-Saskatchewan was the first to reach its goal. Alberta and the Maritimes have gone well above their objectives. All fields are on the General Conference PER CAPITA HONOR ROLL, with Newfoundland heading the entire list of confer- ences for the North American Division. All of you have worked hard, and what you have done is greatly appreciated.

Elder Carl Weis, world leader of our Ingathering says, "I want to say 'thank you' to our union and local presidents, lay activi- ties secretaries, pastors, and lay members for the way you have applied yourselves to the Ingathering Crusade this year. The Lord has certainly blessed, and we have good reason to sing "Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow." W. E. Kuester, Secretary Lay Activities Department A total of 402 "Service for Millions" coupons, requesting the Bible Correspondence Course has been received to date — 402 potential souls for the Kingdom!
