Later Years
With the death of Austin-Sparks in 1971, the Centre's activity was greatly reduced. The Witness and a Testimony magazine was terminated, as well as the printing of books under that imprint. From 1972 to 1987, a similar magazine Toward the Mark, edited by Austin-Sparks colleague Harry Foster, was distributed from the Centre. To this day, a complete archive of Austin-Sparks' publications, magazine, books, and booklets is preserved there by the Witness and a Testimony Literature Trust.
Today, the site of the Honor Oak Christian Fellowship & Conference Centre is leased to Operation Mobilization by the Witness and Testimony Literature Trust.

Famous quotes containing the word years:
“One of the most difficult aspects of being a parent during the middle years is feeling powerless to protect our children from hurt. However “growthful” it may be for them to experience failure, disappointment and rejection, it is nearly impossible to maintain an intellectual perspective when our sobbing child or rageful child comes in to us for help. . . . We can’t turn the hurt around by kissing the sore spot to make it better. We are no longer the all-powerful parent.”
—Ruth Davidson Bell (20th century)
“On a late-winter evening in 1983, while driving through fog along the Maine coast, recollections of old campfires began to drift into the March mist, and I thought of the Abnaki Indians of the Algonquin tribe who dwelt near Bangor a thousand years ago.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
