From New Orleans: “The church here has enjoyed a great meeting of nineteen days’ duration. Brother Friend preached some strong sermons, and they were all well received. Such interest was shown throughout. Eight were baptized, one restored, and several members of the congregation publicly expressed themselves as rededicating their lives in service to God. It was a great spiritual feast to us all, and has given us new life and strengthened our hope. God be praised!”— Willis H. Allen.

 We repeat it— If you want to make sure of getting the Editor’s “Lord’s Day Lessons” in time for the first Sunday each month, subscribe for an individual copy of the Quarterly (25c the year). We try to schedule our work so as to get the magazine out in time; but the publisher (who is supported by gospel preaching, not by the paper) holds many meetings— loves to hold them; and, while he does not believe the doctrine that “a man has to live”— well, for better reasons than that, he is often away from the office.

 If we had the heart, or the courage, to ask our readers to pay §1.50 for the magazine, you should have real “service,” and we should have no perplexing “summer shortage.” But then, that’s the price of a good(?) cigar a month; and perhaps the paper is hardly worth that much— considering the high cost of the indispensable Daily Blade! And so we do the best we can, and sometimes come a long way short of that! Anyway, subscribe for the Quarterly.

From Linton, Ind.: “Brother Boll was in fine spirit for our meeting. The house proved too small several nights. One Sunday night we went to the Opera House. At least a thousand were present. Eighteen were added from all sources. Many questions were asked through the question box, each, evening after the meeting was under way. The church is much strengthened and encouraged.”— J. R. Clark.

From Glenmora, La.: “We lost six last month by removal, and one by sin. Four more are to leave us first of June. Others are off for summer school and others to visit old homes and relatives. Our hope is that those who go away will prove faithful, and those left behind may redouble their efforts. Brother Elston put in about ten days at Forest Hill resulting in two baptized and one restored. Several loaded cars went from Glenmora each night.’— A. K. Ramsey.

Will our living friends who have “expired” please revive!

An Oklahoma evangelist asks for a shipment of our books and tracts to sell in his summer meetings. We would have no “summer slump” if half of the evangelists who read this news note would “go and do likewise.’ And best of all, you would be serving those who buy.

J. M. Hottel, minister of the church at Franklin, Ky., is with New Albany, Ind., church in a meeting.

 Ted Brackett sends a gift club of four names ($3) each month. There’s a good idea! It helps in both directions.

E. H. Hoover, now on a trip North with Sister Hoover, preached at Bathurst Street church, Toronto, May 31st.

 From Jacksonville: “Fine services here. Lord’s Day, May 1, we reached our highest mark in Bible School attendance, there being 200 present. Two made the good confession at night; good missionary offering.”—- Η. N. Rutherford.

From the good old churches of Albion and Roselma, Nebraska, comes the report of 5 recent baptisms— some from each church having been immersed at the hand of Brother Poynter. One also was restored. Brother Poynter and Brother Sumner Spaulding continue to proclaim the joyful gospel message from the Albion pulpit.

Churches wishing to take advantage of the 35c advance rate on “Great Songs of The Church,” (shape note edition) must remit before July 10. The rate after publication will be 65c. See advertisement elsewhere.

 The meeting at Linton, Ind., in which R. H Boll did the preaching, was an enthusiastic one from start to finish. Great interest, overflowing houses (twice, when a special theme was announced the Opera House was engaged) and a number of additions, ten by baptism, eight otherwise. The church was greatly helped and built up. Brother J. R. Clark is located with this church, and doing fine work.

LOUISVILLE NEWS: Janes, the indefatigable, has recently held Camp Taylor’s second meeting this spring. Brother Boll was in the first one.

H. L. Olmstead is holding forth at South Louisville. Not “holding the fort,” but “holding forth”—rather, storming the enemy. Olmstead can “storm” too!

E. L. Jorgenson is at Parksville, with old-time revival interest. Brother Boyer’s regular work there has done great good. Things are “looking up” for this old church.

D. H. Friend is— we don’t know where he is! We can’t keep track of his meetings! Highlands has a good home force though, that knows how to carry on.

 Geo. R. Johnson turned the world somewhat upside down— at least he was able to tilt it a little, out about Hazelwood. Fifteen have been baptized, and a group called together to worship “after the pattern.” And already the little church is giving to foreign missions, beginning with an eight dollar offering. That’s like Philippi!

 “Gospel tent meetings”— by the way, that sounds good! Gospel tent meetings are on with the colored forces. Brother Bowser can do something more than bark at the population and the two colored congregations are right with him.
