A souvenir published to
commemorate the Silver Jubilee was also released on the occasion.

"Let this auspicious occasion bring about a new yearning to save the lost souls among all members of the section.
It is my desire and prayer that efforts are made at a larger scale to bring about our great mission - to sheave for Christ", the general superintendent further said.
