Walter W. Leamons, Junction, Texas, March 24: "Cleon Lyles' article, When Thou Art Converted, was exceptionally thought-provoking. The church here is doing more to evangelize at home and abroad than ever before, but it is still not enough. The work is very pleasant. I have accepted the invitation of the brethren to continue here, beginning my 11th year (the 6th of the second stay.)"

P. B. Nigh, Kiowa, Kansas, March 15: "The church at Kiowa, Kans., is financially unable to support a full-time preacher. It could, however, partially support a preacher who was also engaged in work in town. Kiowa has no doctor; if anyone knows of a member of the church who is a physician looking for a place to locate, and who could also serve as a preacher, would he please contact P. B. Nigh, Kiowa, Kans."

Peace has been restored in this congregation since I moved here. The credit for this belongs to Paul Hutchinson and Roy Edwards, elders of the congregation.
