The hall was full on Lord's Day, and some unsaved attending every night. We are hoping for God's hand in genuine conversions. On Lord's Day (18th), commence special meetings in Lakefield (D.V.). Interest there in the gospel since the opening of the new hall has decidedly improved, and so the Christians are eagerly looking that during this campaign the hall may become the birthplace of precious souls for heaven. After these purposed meetings, in the will of the Lord, I return again to [[Nova Scotia]]. Sept. 13, 1938.

* LOI 1946-5: James Gunn, Midland, Ont. "Bro. Gunn spent three weeks in Midland ministering to the saints from a model of the tabernacle.

Gunn also enjoyed a short visit with his former home assembly, Swanwick Hall, Toronto, taking the ministry meeting on Fri. evening and remaining over Lord's Day."

* L&L & LOI 1946-6: Canada Conferences: Toronto, Ontario: "The Easter Conference of the Central Hall and Swanwick Assemblies, at Central hall, was a time of rich blessing to the many who attended. Peter Pell, Jr., Neil Fraser, David Long, and F.W. Rogers ministered the Word to crowded gatherings. At the closing Gospel Meeting, Peter Pell spoke at Swanwick; Norman Kion and David Long spoke at Central. Two professed salvation and others desired further help."

* LOI 1946-6: D.B. Long, Sherbrooke, [[Quebec|QC]]: "As the time of our departure from these shores draws nearer the rush seems to get worse. There are so many things, both great and small, to be seen to that one is almost overwhelmed. However, God is able and we lean hard on Him.

** During the months of Dec., Jan., and Feb., I had the joy of giving some help at the [[Emmaus Bible College|Emmaus Bible School]] and was cheered by the evident interest in the Word shown by so many young people who are often blamed for being worldly. While teaching there I had meetings for two weeks each in Central, Swanwick, Greenwood, and Olivet assemblies in ministry of the Word and felt that God gave help in applying the truth to His people.

&& Since then I spent a weekend in Detroit for the closing of the classes which have been carried on all winter in company with Mr. John Smart at Central Hall. Attendances were large and sustained right through, with the last night one of the largest. Young and old attended in about equal numbers and all assemblies in the district were represented. It is my opinion that consecutive study of this kind is much needed and leaves a deeper mark on the saints than sporadic and disconnected meetings.

** The week before this I was at the Missionary conference in Detroit and a stirring time it proved to be. The hall was packed to the doors, with many in side rooms and standing round the walls. As well as this, there was an overflow meeting downstairs and even at that some were unable to get inside. Brethren Hill, Reid, Brookes, Rogers and Long represented [[India]], Santo Domingo, [[Philippines]], [[Africa]], while brother Smart wound up the conference with an exhortation along practical lines which touched many hearts. We trust that fruit will be seen from this in years to come.

** We wish we could do more of this kind of work but Angola calls and we feel we should be on our way as soon as arrangements are complete. It looks as though this will not be long now and we would ask for your continued prayers that God might guide us very clearly, and that He might be honored in our lives. I go to Toronto for the Easter conferences and from there direct to [[New York]] to fix things up with the Portuguese consul while having a week's meetings in the metropolitan area."

* LOI 1946-12: Ontario Briefs: Toronto: "Mr. Andrew Douglas still has his chart up in the Highfield Rd. Hall. The attendance has not been large but has been appreciative. Bro. Donald Hunter left Hamilton conference for Central Hall, Toronto, where he purposed visiting and ministering to the saints. He also visited the saints in Swanwick Hall."

===1947===

* LOI 1947-1: Mr. David Miller of Barrie, Ontario spent a weekend with the Lord's people in Waverly. His visit was appreciated. Brother [[Alfred Perks Gibbs|A.P. Gibbs]] spent a week at Swanwick Assembly, Toronto, ministering the Word of the Lord to His people. Brother Harold Harper was also at Swanwick and Central as well as some of the other halls in the city of Toronto."

* L&L 1947-2: Toronto, Ont. - "Central and Swanwick Assemblies purpose (D.V.) holding their Annual Conference in Central Hall, 25 Charles St., E., on Friday, Saturday and Lord's Day, April 4, 5 and 6, with prayer meeting Thursday 7:45 p.m. Meetings Friday 10:30 a.m., 2:30 and 7:30 p.m.; Saturday 2:30 and 7:30 p.m., Lord's Day 10:00 a.m., 2:30 and 7:30 p.m. Visitors cordially welcome.

* LOI 1947-6: Toronto, Ontario: Central-Swanwick Assemblies: George W. Cunnington: "The Central and Swanwick assemblies held their Annual Easter Conference in Central Hall, 25 Charles St., East, April 4-6. The following brethren ministered the Word: Messrs. W. Munro, P. Pell, A. Van Ryn, C.E. Tatham, W.G. Smith, L. Sheldrake and F. Elliott (England). The meetings were well attended and the ministry was Christ exalting and of a searching nature.

* LOI 1947-12:

** Harold G. Mackay, 622 Forest St., Grensboro (sic), N.C.: "The work in the Piedmont goes along very nicely, with much to encourage our hearts and cause praise to ascend to our God. 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. God was pleased to honor His Word and three professed to be saved. Before starting in Swanwick he had a week for ministry in Central Gospel Hall."

Landis, Fayetteville, Pa.: "For the month of January, I was teaching in [[Emmaus Bible College|Emmaus Bible School]] in Toronto, and speaking at the following Gospel halls in that city: Central, Swanwick, Westmoreland, Markham, Olivet and Gilead. 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. I believe God has raised up Emmaus School for these last days when the fields are so vast and the laborers are so few. I will be laboring around home for five weeks, and then leave (D.V.) for the Pacific Northwest."

~~===1952===~~

* LOI 1952-2: Danforth Gospel Hall, Toronto: Reynold Woodward: "A five week gospel campaign conducted by Br. A. Dellandrea has just been concluded. The Lord worked mightily. Meetings were held seven nights a week, preceded by a week of prayer. Well over 20 professed faith in Christ, among whom were many adults as well as teenage young people. Some had never before heard the gospel while others had been the object of much prayer. The saints have learned a little of the truth of Mark 9:29, their borders have been enlarged and their praise is, "To God be the glory, great things HE hath done!"

Interest there in the gospel since the opening of the new hall has decidedly improved, and so the Christians are eagerly looking that during this campaign the hall may become the birthplace of precious souls for heaven. After these purposed meetings, in the will of the Lord, I return again to [[Nova Scotia]]. Sept. 13, 1938.

===1939===

* Witness 1939-1: Toronto: "Ministry of H. Isaacs proved very helpful during meetings in Olivet Hall, and in theatre, John Ferguson had fairly good meetings in Swanwick Gospel Hall, but found unsaved difficult to reach."

==1940's==

===1945===

* L&L 1945-11: "David Kirk, Stirling, Ont. This month finds me around the home assemblies, and this provides plenty to do, as there are four or five assemblies within easy reach. Peterborough lies about 50 miles to the northwest, and there over this weekend I hope to help Messrs. John Smart and Ernest Tatham in a Young People's Rally, besides giving help at the little country assembly of Bobcaygeon, where there is to be the Annual Conference this weekend. After the Canadian Thanksgiving Conference in Montreal we begin the Fall work with a series of meetings in Swanwick Hall, Toronto."

===1946===

* AA 1946-1: Toronto: "Bre. Albert Joyce and D. Howard are having special meetings in Bracondale Hall. Bre. George Gould and T. Wilkie are holding forth in Brock Ave., at time of going to press. The brethren in Swanwick Hall speak of happy meetings with brother David Long."
