We have moved to Dugger, Ind., to labor with the brethren there. Brother Kranz is to take up the work at Linton beginning the first of the year.”  J. R. Clark.

Belated from Jacksonville: “We closed at Green’s Chapel, Oct. 22, and we had a real good and helpful fellowship with those good brethren. We stayed in the home of that man of God, R. L. Dunagan. Brother Elam Derryberry led the songs, and he is a most excellent leader. Brother H. L. Olmstead closed the meeting on Friday night as I had to leave to make my appointment at Jacksonville on Oct. 25. There were four or five conversions here at Jacksonville last Lord’s Day.” – H. N. Rutherford.

“Please not our change of address from Itasca, Texas to 298 Pine Bluff St., Paris, Texas.  We have been invited to take to local work with the Lamar St. Church, left vacant by the illness of Brother F. L. Young, who has done a splendid work here. We find the church loyal, liberal and enthusiastic. Pray for us that we may be used of God for much good.”—R. A. Zahn.

Belated from Dallas: “Brother J. F. Smith of Tom Bean, Texas is here in a meeting at present with the Peak & Main St. church.” J. E. Blansett.

“The writer is now located at 2759 West Caperton Street, Shreveport, La. This is my native state and I am making a strenuous effort to have 100 mission meetings conducted in the state during 1926. Four splendid preaching brethren have offered their services for a meeting each. I must hear from others.

Information concerning members of the Lord’s Body anywhere in the state of Louisiana will be appreciated. If as many as one member can be located, we can have a good old gospel meeting. Please communicate with me at the above address. Some noble men have labored valiantly in this state for several years and have accomplished a good work. But it is yet a barren field and one that is crying for the bread of life.” J. E. Wainwright.

Belated from Chattanooga: Central Church, Chattanooga, closed a two week’s revival Oct. 25. D. H. Friend of Louisville, did the preaching.

His messages were strong and appealing. The church was strengthened and the unsaved warned by the messages he brought from the Word of God. We had splendid audiences, and good attendance from our congregations in the city. All were pleased with Brother Friend, and the preaching he did. He set Christ before us rather than a system of religion. There were twelve additions, ten of them by baptism.

Sunday, Nov. 1, rounded out ten years I have been with the Central church here. The work is moving on steadily, and prosperously. Pray for us. The Lord bless your good, spiritual and helpful magazine.” E. H. Hoover.

Doctor Thomas against whom Alexander Campbell and other pioneer preachers wrote, is the father of what is called “Christadelphians.” He was, like the Adventists and the Russellites, a no-kingdom man, denying that the kingdom of Christ exists in any sense now. He was also a “soul-sleeper,” and annihilationist. He denied the pre-existence and Deity of Christ; the personality of the Holy Spirit; the existence of a personal Devil; made the New Birth equivalent to the resurrection; was a Materialist generally.

          These heresies are not for a moment to be confused with the plain premillennial teaching of the Bible that has been set forth in The Word and Work. We have had no little debate and conflict with the Christadelphian errorists ourselves, both oral, and in the Word and Work.

“From Dr. Eugene Wood—”The fourth Lord’s Day in August the church at Yorkville, Tenn., and the writer began a series of meetings together and continued through the fifth Lord’s Day and we closed at the waters of baptism the following Monday morning. This meeting was one of the greatest I have ever thus far assisted in. It could not have very well been otherwise than great and sweet to me, for it was with those “In the house of my friends.” The little town of Yorkville is in Gibson County. Four of my children were born in that county, hence it was our home for number of years. From the day of my second birth, hearty was the hand grasp and constant were the words of encouragement from the saints at Yorkville, Tenn. The Lord knows, but they will perhaps never know the wealth and worth of those common little Christian courtesies which had their full meaning then and have not lost their force and effect for good yet. It is so easy to be just yourself and do your very best with those with whom you’ve known and loved so much. They understand you, and you understand them.

Fifteen responsible, accountable souls confessed with the mouth His wonderful name and became “the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.” “The Lord added to the Church those that were being saved” Salvation is in Christ, and the consummating step of faith was taken when they were “baptized into Christ,” Rom. 6:3.

The last service of this meeting was about the best, for 14 members of the Church responded as the last sing was sung. Among this number were some of the main supports of that good old congregation. These simply wanted to confess their faults and insufficiency within themselves. Some such statements as: “I want to get on higher ground,” “I am not as close to to the Lord as I would like to be,” and “I have not been as faithful to the Lord as I would like to be.” There were seventeen such acknowledgements altogether. Just now I ask a question: Would it be right for me to advertise “my meeting” by reporting thirty-two such acknowledgments when the truth of it is, there were but fifteen added? If all were to confess “their faults one to another” as the Lord would have us to do, if such are to be called additions, wouldn’t we have glorious reports to send into the papers? There might be a few preachers now and then “added.”

The meeting at Dyer, which is also in Gibson County, began the first Monday night in September. Dyer was my old home town. It was while living at this place that Brother G. Dallas Smith baptized me into the hope of eternal life, and if I am not mistaken, this took place upon the same day of the same month that that great teacher and unfaltering servant of the Lord Jesus Christ closed his eyes to earthly scenes and departed to be with Christ, the 7^th of November. Many of the girls and boys I knew then are mothers and fathers. Many of these old friends and those grown up since I left Tennessee, were and still are “sectarians,” yet I call them friends. These honest, big-hearted, constant friends of mine are to honest and truthful to say that I at any time, since they heard me preach my first sermons, failed to declare the whole counsel of God. How could I be a friend and falter there? There were just 5 additions to the body of Christ during this meeting, and one man 72 years old decided to leave the dangerous sands of the sectarian way and wear the name of Christ alone.

E. L. Jorgenson was with the church at Trinity Springs, Ind., for eleven days, H. D. Leach, of Bedford, leading the song service is his very acceptable way. There were 13 or 14 additions, and 3 more by “membership” on the Lord’s Day following. Brother Jorgenson preached at Ormsby Ave., Louisville, Nov. 29, with 6 additions, 2 being for baptism.

D. H. Friend is at Gainesville, Fla., for a meeting. A shipment of 150 new “Great Songs of the Church” preceded the preacher.

Brother Boll preached for a few nights at Bryantsville, Ind. Two were baptized and some restored.

On Nov. 29 the Bryantsville brethren went into their splendid new house. A shipment of the alphabetical hymnal went up for the occasion.

L. Moore, of Bowling Green, preached one week at Highlands, Louisville. His genuine goodness as a man makes him a preacher of influence wherever he goes. The church was blessed through his ministry.

Los Angeles, Calif., and Biddeford, Me., each ask for 200 copies of our new “Great Songs of the Chruch” round notes. Thia edition is to be ready by the end of 1925. Advance orders help to put it through.

Earl C. Smith writes of the brethren at Bathhurst St., church, Toronto: “They certainly  know how to love and bear and yield to each other in a remarkable degree. I have never seen brethren who know it better; precious few that knew it as well. They have been so kind and considerate to me.”
