710 MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS

This library successfully distributed the film in conjunction
with “Building for Christ,” and at the present time The Unfinished
Task is being promoted and distributed as part of our “Venture
of Faith.”

This library also handles the physical handling and shipping
of all films which are required for the television program “This
Is the Life.”

The expanding services of this operation have required larger
quarters in Concordia Publishing House, with a major move of
all film-library and office facilities to be completed by the time of
the St. Paul Synodical Convention.

2. A branch film library and office continues to be maintained
in St.Paul, Minn., with a fairly complete inventory of materials
and equipment.

Partial libraries are maintained in Buffalo, N. Y.; Edmonton,
Alta., Can.; Kitchener, Ont., Can.; and Regina, Sask., Can. The
latter three have been established for the convenience of the Ca-
nadian brethren.

3. Excellent progress has been made in the distribution of
audio-visual materials in England, through The Lutheran Film
Service, an affiliate of Concordia Publishing House Ltd. of London.
The progress has been especially significant since the summer of
1955, after which time arrangements were made for the manufac-
ture of motion-picture prints in that country. Sixteen motion
pictures have been so licensed, and through this medium we are
able to render a valuable service to The Evangelical Lutheran
Church of England.

4. At the present time, an entire series of Bible-story filmstrips
is being adapted for use by our church in Spanish-speaking
countries.

5. The following motion pictures have been produced and ac-
quired during the past triennium and are being successfully dis-
tributed:

The Cheat The Family Altar

The Way He Should Go Money for the Master

The Little Lie That Grew The Work of Our Hands
