Beecroft, minister of the Wingham United Church oil his election to the presidency of the London Conference. The position is an important one and many feel that the honor is reflect- ed upon our entire community. Dr. Beecroft has served his church and his fellowmen with distinction and self-sacrifice for many years. He is one of the pioneers in the use of radio as a means of spread- ing the Gospel farther afield and his knowledge in this connection is recognized in the positions he holds with the radio committee of the United Church and with the Nat- ional Religious Advisory Council of the CBC.
