More than 20 believers attended the Maritime Fall Conference held in Charlottetown. Mrs. Peggy Ross of Scarboro highlighted
the conference, the theme being
"Augmenting the Dynamic Spirit in the
Ten-Year Crusade". She discussed bridging
the gap between thought and action,
saying that a living sacrifice is required
these days to prevent giving in to
inertia. "Action towards what we believe
in is like food in the hands of
starving people." She discussed taking
on the ways of the new Kingdom by
learning the manners and customs of the Faith. [CBN No58 Nov 1954 p3] |
