Five Oaks Course Is Inspiration Five Oaks is a Christian Work- ers' Centre for the training of lay workers in the United Church of Canada. This yearround centre is situated about two and one half miles south of Paris, Ontario. It is a project of five central confer- ences, Toronto, London, Bay of Quinte, Montreal -Ottawa a n d Hamilton, being, built by volunteer labour and • contributions from people in these areas. The name "Five Oaks" is derived from the fact that it is supported by these conferences and because of the beautiful oak tree's the grounds. The "House of the Interpreter" taken from Pilgrims Progress, is a large modern building situated on high ground overlooking Whit- man's Creek, where it joins the Grand river. There are also summer cabins with accommodation for 125. There are facilities for summer sports including swimming. Miss Mary McClymont, Varna, who has recently completed a six weeks course there is enthusiastic about the worth of the project. The basic course is for six weeks. Instructions given are on the Bible, The Christian Faith, The Christian Worker, The Chris- tian Church and local church methods. The director Rev. B. Oaten and his assistant, Miss Is- obel. Squires, conduct these cour- ses. "Five Oaks" is a wonderful place to receive training and in- spiration for working in the chur- ch, and in being a witness for Jesus Christ, Miss McClymont states. There is a course now in. pro- gress, January 18 to February 26. Interested persons may attend these courses anytime during the six weeks if it is not possible to attend the full term. Following the six weeks course is a one mon- th course. Further particulars may be obtained by writing to Rev. B. Oaten, Paris, Ontario. CAR TAG LETTERS TO STAY DEPUTY MINISTER STATES J. D.
