Light and Liberty 1935 Report by Tom Bendelow

"Chicago, IL - The 52nd annual conference of believers has passed into history, having been the largest yet held... nearly a thousand remembering the Lord in His death for us and probably 1200 being in attendance altogether. The ministry was of such a nature as to inspire Berean activity among the Christians, for which we thank our God. Ministering brethren upon whom the bulk of the ministry devolved were:

• C.W. Ross
• John Watt
• John Bloore
• Alexander Neil O'Brien
• P. Hoogendam
• Alfred P. Gibbs
• Edwin Gibbs

Fifteen other brethren gave short accounts of the Lord's work in various parts of the United States and Canada, which was much enjoyed. The Sunday School superintendents of the district had special meetings during the conference for the young, many of the brethren giving help. A few conversions resulted among young and old."
