→Toronto Bible Class
About the year 1927, brother Littleproud became deeply exercised about helping younger men in the study of the Scriptures; therefore, it was arranged that a number of these meet in his home on Saturday evenings. At the first there were probably a dozen who met thus together for a season of prayer and Bible study. The class rapidly outgrew the capacity of the Littleproud's living room, and since there were many others who wanted this helpful methodical ministry, the class was moved early in 1931 to [[Central Gospel Hall, Toronto, ON|Central Hall]], where it grew in size beyond even our brother's expectation. It was an inspiration to see a hundred and more young men on a Saturday evening sitting around the Word of God.
At the end of each term student, if they wished, could write out answers to questions submitted, and several prizes were given for the best answers. Some of those who attended these classes are today serving the Lord in the foreign field, such as John McClelland of [[Brazil]] and Alex McClelland of [[Angola]]. Other brethren were invited by our brother to assist him in his now heavy responsibility among these: Peter Hynd(see [[Peter Hynd Jr LOI 1953-1|LOI 1953]], Arnot Porter, James Irwin, J.M. Davies and James Gunn. A library was gradually built up and operated similarly to a public lending library under the care of David Peat, now with the Lord.
