Acts 8:26. The speaker painted a
vivid picture of the dried out areas
in Saskatchewan declaring them to
be a veritable desert. He stated that
the Provincial Secretary of Saskat
chewan described the situation as a
“national problem and; a national
calamity.” He called it “God’s op
portunity and thejCh'urch’s chance.”
He declared that this was an hour
'When there must. be no flinching,
no withdrawing, but the Church
must repeat her offerings of last
year and raise $3215,000 more if the
word of the church is to be main
tained in this stricken area andTiow
he had promised the men that the
'Church would see them' ‘through.
