    • March 1961 brought another change at Bethel, for it was then that beloved Clayton Morrell died. Eugene Rosam, then teaching in the Kingdom Ministry School, was appointed the next branch overseer. He was to serve in that capacity for about four years.

      In an effort to continue the work that had been initiated in order to strengthen the congregations, Brother Rosam visited all circuit and district overseers in special meetings arranged at seven locations across Canada. A seventh district was formed. Also, efforts were made to try to build activity to a level that would allow for greater experience, advancement and development of abilities as Kingdom proclaimers. The results were good, and with the passing of time it was seen that a stronger organization was developing in Canada.

      Due to a situation that had developed over the years, some men who were shouldering responsibility in connection with our assemblies were not being used or had ceased to be used as overseers in their own congregations. But this situation changed. All who served in such capacities at the 11 Courageous Ministers District Assemblies of 1962 (attended by 44,711 persons) and at all subsequent circuit and other assemblies had to be men who qualified as overseers in the local congregations where they lived. Appropriately, then, the desire was to have in positions of oversight only men who were qualified according to the Scriptures.

    • Early in 1965, due to illness, it had become necessary for Eugene Rosam to leave Toronto Bethel and return to serving congregations in the field.
