From Horse Cave: “Brother G. A. Dunn, of Dallas, Texas, just closed a meeting here of two weeks’ duration. Twelve were baptized, three restored, one by membership. J. Scott Greer, of Sellersburg, Ind., led the singing and had the children in a Bible drill each night. Brother Dunn’s lessons to the church were very helpful as well as the messages to sinners.”— H. L. Olmstead.
“It was with great sorrow that I learned of the death of Brother Frank Wheeler. He was one of the finest of young men that I have known; God Fearing, deeply spiritual, devout. In him the church has lost a most faithful and promising servant, one in whom dwelt the Spirit of God and the word of Christ richly.”—Claude Neal.
From Winchester, Ky.: “Brother Arrowood, of Dayton, Tenn., spent ten days with the little church at Lancaster, Ky. I followed on the third Sunday in October. Four placed membership there. Remember the East Kentucky field in your prayers.”—M. D. Baumer.

The congregation at this place is a wide-awake band of earnest Christians, and we believe a great and effectual door is open to accomplish good for the Master in this field. “It is just ten miles from Hillsboro, our present home, and we rejoice that we do not have to bid farewell to our many friends, whom we have learned to love during our stay in this community. “Pray for us that we may be used of God in such a way as to win souls for the eternal kingdom of the Master.”—R. A. Zahn.

From Toronto: “Four persons baptized, one of whom expects to be a medical missionary; fine interest in all the meetings of the church. “Just twenty-two years ago Brother W. D. Campbell, now of Detroit, preached the first gospel sermon in the Bathurst Street church house. On last Monday night about two hundred were present at an “anniversary service.” It was a very pleasant and profitable evening. Special attention was directed to India and the good work of our Brother and Sister Watters, of England, who are stationed at Lateher, India, engaged in a wonderful work for the Master. Bathurst Street church has doubled her missionary offerings, and we are hoping and praying for better still. We have the greatest message, the greatest plea, and the greatest institution—the church of the living God. Let us pray for wisdom that we may do our full share of the work for which Christ Jesus gave his very life.”—Geo. A. Klingman.

Brother R. F. Duckworth, 2105 Second Ave., Dallas, Texas, asks us to make the following announcement: “We are engaged in listing the names and addresses of the heads of families of the church of Christ, with the number of Christians in each family, who are opposed to Christians taking part in carnal war. “It is our purpose to register with the proper officials of our government our reasons for taking this position, that faithful members of the church may have the benefits allowed to the conscientious objector. The enthusiastic response we are receiving from all parts of the country is very gratifying and indicates that we will be able to make a splendid showing.” See the Book Nook further down the aisle!
