whole-hearted cooperation given him at all times by the members of the staff and to their exemplary application to duty in the cause of promoting Christian higher educa¬ tion in Western Canada and particularly in training workers for the kingdom of our Lord. Helpful and stimulating visits have been made by our synodical officials, Dr. F. Pfotenhauer (1922, ’24, ’26, ’30), Dr. F. Randt (1933), Dr. Hy. Grueber (1933, ’41, ’45), Dr. O. P. Kretzmann (1940), Dr. J. Behnken (1940, ’43, ’44), Dr. A. Brunn (1943), Rev. G. Chr. Barth 11942, ’45), and Prof. Theo. Hausntann (1942). Generous Support of College Our fellow-Lutherans have never tired of giving us material assistance. For the levelling of grounds, done by our students during two weeks in October, 1926, farmers placed at our disposal thirty-eight horses—twelve one week, twenty-six the other. Pas¬ tors who had served in Western Canada up to 1922 and whose names are inscribed on a memorial tablet in our chapel gave one thousand dollars for equipment of the new chapel. Meat, butter, eggs, lard, and victuals of every description have year after year found their way into our kitchen. More recently $3,000 were contributed for the beautification of the grounds. And then the women, the good women in both districts—may God bless them for their never-failing kindness! In the early years those here in Edmonton invited students into their homes for Sunday meals. Every week they took care of their laundry, and some are doing this even today; and once a month they mended the students’ clothes. They have contributed much to the success of our annual College Day, which since 1929 has been held every year on Pentecost Monday. In the fall of 1933 they introduced a Donation Day and have had such days regularly ever since, every spring and every fall, at which occasion they shower our kitchen with gifts and are in return entertained by the students. Annually the Shower Committee has sent out appeals to all women in both districts, and annually these appeals were an¬ swered with funds for equipment of the infirmary, the office, the faculty room, the din¬ ing hall, for radio, piano, typewriter, for curtains and shades, for sewing machines, for advertising, for catalogues, for projectors, for furniture in the girls’ lounging room, in the boys’ lounging room; and their latest project is the complete replacement of fur¬ niture in the boys’ dormitory. Since the opening of the college in 1921 our Christians in Western Canada have contributed cash in the amount of $37,558.59. Of this total $19,000 was designated for the building site and $18,558.59 for all other purposes. And from our fellow-Christians in the States we received the amazing sum of $312,495.78. In Conclusion Such is the story of our Canadian Concordia, as it unfolded itself during the first twenty-five years of its existence. God has been good to our school. It has had a total enrolment of 471 students (401 boys and 70 girls). Sixty-two of its graduates have entered the ministry, and forty-one of these form 45% of our present clergy in Western Canada. Seven have entered the teaching profession in our church. Concordia stands as a constant reminder of the vision and faith of our pioneers, a concrete testimony of the open-hearted and open-handed love of our American Christians for our Canadian missions, and a monument to the undeserved kindness of a gracious God. To all our friends and fellow-Christians our hearts go out in deepfelt gratitude. And unto Him whose blessings have been new unto us every morning, to Him that loved us and wash¬ ed us from our sins in His own blood, to Him whose grace we implore for future de¬ velopment, protection, and guidance—to Him be blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might for ever and ever. 15
