The fellowship hall was packed to the doors, with many in side rooms and hospitality standing round the walls.

Also much to pray about, as there are always problems connected with His service, and many yet to be reached with the Gospel. In Greensboro things go well, and I hear of another one led to the Lord by brother Bousfield, since I came North. At present I am in Canada, teaching at the Toronto [[Emmaus Bible College|Emmaus Bible School]] and conducting a series of Gospel meetings at the Swanwick Ave. Hall at night. The work at the school is very splendid; it is a thrilling sight to see almost 170 Christian young people intensely interested in the study of the Bible and eager to learn more of the Lord and His Word and ways. Real wisdom is being manifested by the leaders of this school in assisting these young people and I feel certain the ultimate end will be much blessing to the assembly testimony. The meetings at Swanwick are just in their first week, and there is a fairly good interest. The Lord's people are hearty and happy and seem concerned about the lost. Some unsaved are attending and we look for souls to be saved soon."** "During October brother Mackay had four weeks Gospel meetings in Swanwick Ave. Gospel Hall, Toronto, Ont.

It is a real pleasure to see the spiritual progress of the young people we taught one and two years ago at Emmaus. To think of what it will mean to have a generation of these bright, keen and consecrated young people laboring at home and abroad.
