From J. E. Blansett, Dallas, Texas: The Peak & Main Street Church of Christ closed last Sunday night, the greatest meeting of its history. Brother Boll of Louisville, Ky., did the preaching, and to say it was well done is to say it very mildly. This was his seventh meeting with us here. Better co-operation from the other congregations has never been had from the so-called ‘lay-members.’ There were 58 responses to the invitation, the most of which were renewals, and transferring of memberships. The local membership was increased by even 40. The meeting was blest with assistance from 32 preachers of whom I know. They were from Dallas, Commerce, Abilene, Gainesville, Irving, San Antonio, Thorp Spring, Galveston, Sherman, and Kaufman, Tex.; two from Tennessee, one from Kentucky, one from California, and two from Oklahoma. Elders, deacons, and song-leaders were here in attendance from many places in North Texas. Leaving Dallas, Brother Boll preached Monday and Tuesday nights at the Celtic church, and Wednesday night at the Sherman church; thence to Oklahoma for meeting-work.”
From Ashland City, Tenn.: “Brother George Graves will hold our meeting at Tillamay church of God commencing Sept. 12. Pray for us, for we are sadly in need of strong preaching and prayer. Brother R. C. White commenced a meeting at Sams Creek church, July 11.”—Mrs. J. L. Moore.
We have secured a stock of C tuning forks, and can supply at 50c each. “Report of meeting at Pleasant Grove conducted by High View Church, near Buechel, Ky.: 12 additions, 6 by baptism. High View, less than one year old, has 26 members. 52 at Sunday School last Sunday.”—Jonah D. Skiles.
“That commendation of ‘our’ song book by The King’s Business is fine, true, and well-deserved.”— Stanford Chambers. Here is what the K. B. said: “It is without question the most desirable and satisfactory hymn book ever prepared for general church and Sunday school services.” “The meeting with the little band on Longfield Avenue, Louisville, closed the evening of June 29th. From all sources, 18 responded to the invitations (nine by primary obedience) and we left them happy and hopeful.”— D. H. Friend.
“Our recent meeting at Hayden, Colo., was a great success. Fifteen were baptized into Christ and two others that had been baptized were enlisted.”—J. F. Smith.
From Thyatira, Miss.: “I am soon to begin a meeting at Antioch church, near Senatobia, Miss., then one at a mission point near here.”— R. N. Gardner.
From Linton, Ind.: “Believing that our old friends and acquaintances would like to hear from us, will say we are still in the work, have preached every opportunity since leaving Louisville in 1915. Last year I received upwards of forty into the church by membership and baptism, besides establishing one new congregation. This year I have several calls to preach and hold meetings. I am trying to arrange my business to answer some of these calls, at least during July, August, and September. The only regular appointments I have at present are Orr Branch, near Bloomfield, Ind., and New Union church, near Spencer. This is our late Brother Wheeler’s home church. Sister Wheeler and children are making their home with Grandpa Hinton and her father. They worship at New Union church. Pray for us that our labors may be enlarged. Would be glad to hear from old friends and to know we are remembered. Linton is expecting Brother Boll in September.”—S. L. Pope.
From Toronto: “A very happy event in the history of Vaughn Road Church of Christ (Wychwood) took place July 8 when the cornerstone of new building was laid. This congregation has been loyal and true, and working for the Master nearly twenty years. Brother Colin Cameron was Chairman. Brother A. M. Stewart saw that the stone was well and truly laid. Brother McKerlie of Fern Ave., delivered an appropriate address on the reason for the existence of a church patterned after the New Testament order. This was followed by address from Earl C. Smith, of Strathmore Blvd., on ‘Religion that will stand the Test.’ Then Brother Cauble, of Bathurst Street spoke words of encouragement along the line of Living or Lively Stones. Brother Bennett thanked the speakers for their messages and gave some reports concerning the work. Brother Fletcher made an appeal to outsiders to think of their condition in the light of eternity. Brother and Sister Stephenson, the only remaining- charter members, were present. This is a big undertaking for the few members, but it is taken in faith and with a desire to do more for the Master. They will appreciate any help in funds or otherwise. We can at least pray for them that our Heavenly Father may prosper His work in their hands.”—A. M. Stewart
