future involving the assumption that by 1960 we shall have a pos-
sible enrollment of 160 students (approximately 40 more than
today). Careful computation of what we have and what additional
space we shall require for the accommodation of some 160 students
has enabled us to arrive at the cubic area required in new additions.
Sketches have been drawn up by our architect. The entire expan-
sion plans have been submitted to the Board, and its members have
declared themselves to be in basic agreement with these. '

Within the lifetime of one pioneer, our venerable Dr. E. Eber-
hardt,: Western Canada has developed from a “frozen” mission
outpost into two synodical Districts, numbering 28,000 souls and
having within its boundaries an educational . institution. The
development of its vast resources found in forests, fields, and mines
is attracting the interest of people over the entire North American
continent. Edmonton is today the fastest growing city in Canada,
and within a radius of 50 miles 700 oil wells have been brought
into production during the last three years. The steady growth of
population guarantees, under God, a growth in the membership
of our Church. In enlarging the place of our tent and stretching
forth the curtains of our habitations, we shall keep in mind the
words of our Lord: “The harvest truly is plenteous, but the
laborers are few.” We hope and pray that our Concordia will
always be privileged to supply increasingly such laborers in the
kingdom of our precious Savior Jesus.
