LOI 1948-6:

Joseph Coleman: West Side - East Side Assemblies: "Brock Avenue, West Toronto, Bracondale, Lansing and Ascot Assemblies held their Annual Convention March 26, 27 and 28 in the Central High School of Commerce Auditorium. Pape Avenue, Highfield Road, Broadview Ave., and Eglinton Avenue Assemblies met in the Eastern High School of Commerce same dates.

It was the largest Convention ever held in the West End and East End Schools, and there was a full capacity meeting for the breaking of bread on Lord’s day in both localities. The consensus of opinion is that it was a very good Conference.

The ministry of the Word was varied and practical. The Gospel was very faithfully preached on Lord’s day evening in the West End hall by brethren Paul Plubell, Gordon Reager and George Gould and in the East End by brethren Joseph Pearson, Archie Stewart and William Warke."
