From Jacksonville, Fla.: We closed a two weeks’ meeting with Bro. N. B. Hardeman doing the preaching. His services were forcefully delivered and nine were added, six baptisms.
I Wish you would say to the readers of Word and Work that I have some choice time open for meetings this spring and summer. A.N. Kennedy, Memphis, Texas.
Bro. Clark of Lyons, Kentucky had his store burned and almost all his goods, no insurance. W. J. Brown.
We have moved to Lubbock, Texas to labor with the church here. The work is moving off fine. Additions nearly every Sunday, and the prayer meeting was attended by more than 150 last Wednesday night. We expect to get in our new house about Sunday-week. It will seat twelve hundred people. R. R. Brooks.
From Port Arthur, Texas: The work here is fine and growing. Eight added last Sunday and four the Sunday before that. We have had new pupils in our Bible study each Sunday for the last 16 months except one Sunday, regardless of weather conditions, sickness, and opposition. This is a result of having a definite goal and aim to hold up to the people. L. E. Carpenter.
Please address my copy of Word and Work to Avon Park, Fla., again, as formally. The Dasher Bible School is closing, and we plan to move back to Avon Park, Fla. Where we did live. —H. C. Hinton.
Had a very. Profitable meeting at Camp Taylor last night, the first since Bro. Clymore left for Pulaski. O. S. Boyer.
From Toronto: I am now laboring with the Strathmore Boulevard Church, and we are full of hope. We had delightful meetings at Fern Avenue through February—my last month there. Fine attendance, five baptisms, the best spirit manifested. Brother W. D. Campbell preached at Fern, March 1st. D. H. Jackson.
Brother and Sister H. C. Shoulders are not located with the Orphan Children at the Potter Home, Bowling Green.

Nine additions on Lord’s Day, and nine more on his next visit, two weeks later, is the good report of Brother Ottis Scott’s labor at Bedford, Ind.
D. H. Friend is holding a week’s meeting in Dayton.
Please say in the Word and Work, next issue, that I am open for protracted meeting work from the third Sunday in July on through the summer and fall. I had planned to hold but one meeting this summer, but I have changed my plans this week and must now begin to map out a program of work. Any place wanting my services after July 1 write me at Temple, Texas. John E. Dunn.
I wish to call attention of the churches to the announcement made in other papers of the work of Brother James Salmon, of Franklin, Ky., as leader of song. Brother Salmon is an efficient leader and deserves to be called out into a wider field of service in this line of preachers and congregations. He is a man of family and has chosen to develop this talent for the service of our God and is mature enough in years and experience to make him a safe and true yokefellow for any New Testament evangelist.
The meeting at Valdosta closed with eight or ten additions. Brother Hardeman’s sermon on Worship was especially fine, setting forth the true worship as opposed to vain and ignorant worship.
Brother Hardeman began here on Sunday night, March 1. He preached the second sermon in the new house. I preached the first sermon on the subject, Make Me A Sanctuary. I baptized a young man in the jail, March 1, and another young man made the confession yesterday, and will be baptized soon.
Our new Church-house seats about 450 people, and we had. It full at both services yesterday; 189 in Sunday school. H. N. Rutherford.
