Made by an outstanding Edmonton artist, this colorful display consisted of two large sections: above, a set of three upright panels with a tinted photo of the college and with a striking array of statistical information pointing to the great opportunities which await the church in our beloved Canada, in a land vast, rich, and promising where our Edmonton Concordia is a fortress for conquests in Christ; below, a large slanting panel with a relief map of the sprawling North American continent showing the location of our Canadian parishes and singling out the congregations served by graduates of our Edmonton Concordia. (Members of Redeemer Congregation, Didsbury, Alberta paid a major part of the cost of this display.) 24
