Paul Foutz, 6007 De Moss, Houston 36, Texas: "During the past eight months, in which I have made no report, I have been in 9 gospel meetings. In all of these from two to five nights were given to a study of the Creation-Evolution conflict. In some of these meetings we were requested to devote every lesson to a study of "Evidences" (including the Creation-Evolution question). These meetings were at Bedford, Cleveland, Ohio; Brookshire, Texas; Conroe, Central, Texas; Midland, Cuthbert Street, Texas; Salem, Oregon; two in Fort Worth, Texas, Castleberry and Haltom City; and two in the Chicago, Ill. area; Aurora and Crestwood. In addition to a number who were baptized and restored, I have definite evidence of some rather strong and dedicated evolutionists (most "atheistic") who were completely "converted"; who were made to see clearly the foolish, false, and inconsistent position they had been trying to maintain and how untenable their doctrine really was. Then we know the faith of many of God's people was greatly strengthened and we rejoice for the good we feel has been accomplished through these efforts.

One of the great joys that came to me the last few months was being able to speak on "Creation or Evolution?" to the Florida College student body, along with their parents and guests, three mornings during the F. C. lectureships. Within recent weeks at Bellaire we have had 18 to be identified with us (some were also restored) and three have been baptized, including a man and wife who were members of the Baptist church."

J.R. Snell, 175 Van Dorn, Grenada, Miss.: "James P. Miller just closed a splendid gospel meeting here in Grenada. Record crowds at every service. For the first time in recent history a morning service was featured with from 40-50 in attendance each day. Eleven were baptized into Christ during the meeting."

Reedy Nicholson, Columbia, Tennessee: "In our recent meeting with Ward Hogland doing the preaching, May 15-20, we had one of the best meetings ever conducted here. Seven were baptized and one restored and placed membership. My mother who had been attending a liberal group left them and placed membership with us."

Don Brown, 1234 Division Street, Oceanside, California 92054: Brother John H. Beebe of Fresno, California, preached for us in a series of gospel meetings from April 25-May 1. We rejoice to report that in the past two months there have been three fine people to obey their Lord in Baptism."

Robert E. Herndon, Box 561, Plymouth, N.C. 27962 "Gene Lyles, presently of the Pleasant Run Road church in Lancaster, Texas, will begin work with the congregation here around the last of June. He will be fully supported, for the time being, by the church in Lancaster. We are presently meeting in the County courthouse auditorium but are in the process of purchasing a lot on which to build a meeting house. The group here is enthusiastic, and willing to learn. Anyone knowing of members or prospects in eastern North Carolina, is urged to write me."
