Steve Hudgins, Box 762, Gainesville, Georgia: "Brethren be warned: Nelson Bonar of Parkersburg, West Virginia is not deserving of help. He recently came through Gainesville, called me and explained that he was a diabetic and needed something to eat. He carried several papers including a Registered Nurse certificate. I gave him money which he said was sufficient to get him home and a map showing him his best route. About 8 hours later I had a call from Ashville, North Carolina (150 miles away) stating that he had called the preacher there asking for help and giving a different story. Upon investigation with the preacher of the church in S. Parkersburg, West Virginia where Bonar was baptized, I have learned that Bonar is a bum traveling over the country on the sympathy and at the expense of the brethren."

Clark To Lubbock

Concluding six year's work with the Pruett and Lobit Streets church of Baytown, Texas, Brother A. Hugh Clark has resigned there and on June 1 will move to Lubbock, Texas, to work with the fast-growing Caprock congregation in that city. During Brother Clark's stay at Baytown the congregation there has removed a $55,000.00 indebtedness against their property; and has become one of the most aggressive churches in the nation in its support of gospel preaching. They are now fully supporting four full time gospel preachers, and are working toward the support of another full time man this year.

In returning to Lubbock, Brother Clark is going back to his boyhood home, and to hundreds of friends who have known him through the years. He has held innumerable meetings in Lubbock and the surrounding area, and will be welcomed back into that part of the state by all those who love the truth and cherish those principles of righteousness which Brother Clark has preached so often among them. He will be succeeding Grover Stevens, who has done such a fine work in the Caprock congregation. Brother Stevens will be moving to St. Louis to work with the Spring and Blaine congregation in that city.
