THIS WEEK'S half a century. = recalls the day the school was Church Executive In Session Here Church leaders from every prov- ince in the dominion have assembl- ed in Oshawa this week for meet- ings of the Executive Board of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Canada. Representing churches, schools, printing houses and hospi- tals operated by the denomination they bring their special needs and skill together in order to plan for a more effective and wider wit- ness for the Church. : : The chairman of the session is Pastor Walter A. Nelson, recently returned from a tour of Adventist overseas institutions in the Far East, who is president of the church for Canada. Secretary of the board is Eldon L. Green, also of Oshawa, and general secretary of the denomination for the do- minion. Reports of progress and excep- tional growth in almost every de- partment of church activity was reported this morning at the open- ing session by the regional or con- ference presidents beginning with R. A. Smithwick of British Col- umbia, G. E. Taylor of berta, H. D. Henriksen of Manitoba and Saskatchewan, G. E Jones, lead- er of the church for Ontario and Quebec, J. W. Bothe of the Mari- times and P. Moores, Adventist leader for Newfoundland. Also in attendance are C. M. Crawford, manager of Resthaven Hospital, near Victoria, B.C.; Pro- fessor H. T. Johnson of Canadian Union College in Alberta; Profes- sor W. A. Sowers, president of Oshawa Missionary College and C. G. Maracle, president and general manager of the Kingsway Publishing Corporation of Oshawa. The conference is expected to ad- journ Wednesday morning. Special interest is being evoked by the new executive offices nearing completion on King Street East. Publishing Firm Buys Nine Acres An offer by The Times Publish- ing Company of Oshawa Limited to purchase just over nine acres of city owned land for $5,000 was accepted last night by city council. A. R. Alloway, president of the company, reported to council that the in question had a front- age of 300 feet on Ritson Road and a similar frontage on Nelson Street at the rear. A new street allowance, 66 feet in width, runs between desired property and the adjoining property to the south. In his letter Mr. Alloway said "It is our intention to use this for our subsidiary eom- pany, eral Printers 'Limited, which would in due course erect a one-storey building of suitable di- mensions to house the plant and operations of the business now oc- pying part of The Times-Gazette 6 lding on Simcoe Street South the building at 75 Richmond Street West, and for further ex- pansion. The company now has 148 employees and an annual pay- roll of $360,000." "This offer is more than the assessed value of the land," said Assessment Commissioner Eldon Kerr. "I feel that the offer is a fair one and in line with other prices. It will lead to quite a local development.' Ald. R. D. Humphreys moved that the offer be accepted and Ald. ffordon Attersley seconded the mo- on. Council then considered an offer .|from McCallum Transport of $3,- 500 for nearly eight acres in the same vicinity. The transportation firm already owns land in that area. "For that other land they paid $500 an acre and this land is worth the same price," was Mr. Kerr's report. McCallum's offer was turned down and council decided to offer the land for sale to the transport firm for $4,000. Secretary Is College Guest Oshawa Missionary College was the scene of many visiting seventh- day Adventist leaders from across Canada, Saturday, April 18, who are here to attend special com- mittee meetings this week. Sp- cial speaker for the Sabbath morn- ing worship service was Elder T. L. Oswald, Home Missionary and Welfare Secretary of the Gen- eral Conference, with headquarters at Washington, D.C, Speaking to a large congregation at the Oshawa Missionary Col- lege Church, he brought a good report on the Annual Ingathering Appeal, sponsored by the church on the North American continent, and encouraged those present to make it an even better year for 1953. He said that he believed this would go far in advancing the work of the church for missions and welfare. The scripture reading was taken from 2 John, verse 8: 'Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward." He said that as Christian be- lievers we must live a Godly life ® COMING EVENTS RESERVE MAY 6TH FOR SPRING TEA, at Legion Hall, under auspices of Silver Cross Women. (Silver collection).

Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates".

Paul says we are to examine our- selves, and that when we run in a race only one receiveth the prize, 'So run that ye may obtain'." We have the assurance that all of us can win. Every provision has been made, and it is up to us to decide whether we will succeed. Paul was afraid that he himself might lose out for he said, "Lest I myself be a castaway'. He sensed in his heart that while he went preaching to others there was dan- ger that he might lose the race. To close the message to the congregation Pastor Oswald pray- ed for the church and for the school, and for every Christian be- liever . . .
