Preacher Wanted

We are looking for a man that backs up his preaching with a 'thus saith the Lord' and preferably a man seasoned with experience. If you are interested in a good work please contact Bro. Ray Smith or Bro. Jerry Smith at Chiefland, Florida. Write or phone 493 — 4429 (day time) or 493 — 4665 (night)."

Bible Land Story

— "A visitor to the Holy Land was asked if he would like to see where Peter walked on the water. There was no fee, he was told. Excitedly he boarded a boat and was taken about two miles into the lake to `the exact spot.' After a few minutes he said he was ready to return to shore. 'That will be $5.00 for the return trip,' the guide said. `No wonder he walked,' the disillusioned tourist muttered."

A Note About Tijuana.... But Not Herb Alpert And His Brass ...

— "Juan Alvarado withdrew himself from the liberals quite some time ago. He has preached `on the border' for 11/2 years with no regular support from anyone. Recently he reported FOUR BAPTISMS where he preaches. There are TWO faithful groups presently meeting in TIJUANA. MELQUIADES DOMINQUEZ preaches for one (and is supported by HUMBLE, TEXAS), and JUAN ALVARADO preaches for the other. If memory serves me correctly, there must be TEN or TWELVE liberal churches in the TIJUANA general area. PRAY FOR HIM." From Charles F. House.
