The inter-denominational assembly drew thousands more who, unable to enter the stadium, went to nearby churches where loud-speaking equipment had been installed. In background above is shown the massed choir of 1,200 representing 200 Toronto and district churches. Orchestra is the Toronto Symphony. Leaders of six denominations in Canada jointly conducted the service. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (TS-MES-5B-6-W)
