An Appeal
Clyde Strickland is preaching for the Southside church in Jacksonville, Texas. His total support has been $595 per month. Out of this he must pay his rent, utilities, and support his family of wife and five school-age children. He also is paying for a radio broadcast each week. In January he is losing $200 per month support. He needs this $200 now added to his support plus at least $50 more per month. Is there not one, two, or three congregations who will help him now? He is worthy of support. I have known him for several years and have the greatest confidence in him. You may contact him: 710 Forth Worth Street, Jacksonville, Texas.
