Louisville, Ky.: “Our revival meeting was a good experience to the membership and visitors at the  South Louisville Church of Christ, September 18 through October 2. H. L. Olmstead, Gallatin, Tenn, was at his best bringing us those basic teachings in a powerful and convincing fashion. Songs were directed by Thomas Y. Clark and Joe Blansett, Sr. There were seven responses—two for baptism, four for membership and one for rededication. We are thankful that Bro. Olmstead came our way.”—N. Wilson Burks.

 BROTHER JOHN POUND  A faithful and dedicated servant of the Lord has been called to his heavenly home at an early age. Brother Pound was a staunch believer in the fundamental doctrines of God’s word. He never left you in doubt as to how he stood on these matters. As a true minister of the Word, he contended for the faith once for all delivered to the saints. I have conducted many funerals in my fifty years in the ministry, but I had a most wonderful new experience in conducting this one. It thrilled my heart and soul to hear his own children sing two songs at his   funeral service. This revealed to me how much his children admired and loved him, and the training he had given them. The Waterford Church of Christ, where Brother Pound served as minister at the time of his home-going, will long remember and cherish his teaching of the word of God, and his example of life. I will always appreciate the many years of my association with this dedicated servant of the Lord. May the Lord supply every need for his fine Christian family. –Howard T. Marsh
