F. B. Shepherd, Box 886, Sweetwater, Texas, Oct. 28: "The meeting at Wewoka, Okla., was an unusually enjoyable period. Fine cooperation and encouraging spirit manifested by all. Mordell Lynch, their local evangelist, was particularly helpful. Five were immersed. Began with the Pine Street church in Florence, Ala., last Wednesday. Morning services at Mars Hill Bible School Chapel. Seven immersed here to date."

Elton D. Dilbeck, Pulaski Heights Station, Box 6, Little Rock, Ark., Oct. 23: "Horace W. Busby was with us in a meeting from Oct 7-16. R. J. Richardson, local song director, was in charge of the song services. Both men did their work in a commendable way. Three were baptized and one placed membership with us. Another was baptized last Sunday. I am scheduled to be with the Capitol Hill church in Oklahoma City from Nov. 8-18. The next meeting at the Heights church will be with H. A. Dixon during the first part of April."

Chas. Degenhart, Jr., Rt. 2, Box 136-C, Dinuba, Calif., Oct. 19: "Three have placed membership here since we began local work on Sept. 23. This church has a fine new modern plant in one of the best locations I have ever seen, on College Ave. and Magnolia Way, across from the local high school and near the library and city hall. We anticipate a good work here. Our son, Chas. Degenhart, III, is serving Central in San Diego (where we formerly labored for five years) as preacher until their selection of evangelists is located there. If you have sons or daughters in the service who are stationed there send him their names and addresses. His address is 1328 Hoover, National City, Calif. Direct them to attend at Central for they will like that congregation for their friendliness and firm stand for the truth."
