New Churches
The Tunnel Hill Church of Christ had its beginning recently when faithful brethren in Dalton, Georgia, saw that the only hope for a sound work there was to pull out of churches sinking deeper into liberalism and start a congregation standing squarely for the will of God.
The church is meeting in a rented building about seven miles out of Dalton on the Chattanooga highway. Faithful brethren passing through will have no trouble locating the building since it is located on the highway.
Brethren moving into the area can contact Rex Hadley for further information. His address is Box 2129 King Road, Dalton, Ga., His phone is 278-9776.

Guthrie Dean, Box 69, Bald Knob, Arkansas: "I have just concluded an enjoyable meeting with the Merriwood church in Waco, Texas. This effort was conducted August 9-14. We feel that the church was strenghtened by the meeting. The congregation is still small but has great possibilities. The church has purchased a dwelling house in a very desirable location and has converted it into an adequate meeting house. In addition to a number of ladies who are members the men of this congregation are Wilson Smith, A Jack Tippit, and James T. Mullins. This congregation is sound on faith, and is standing squarely for the truth in spite of the great opposition of the liberals in the area. I would like to urge sound brethren in the area to identify themselves with the Merriwood church and to contact prospects about this congregation. For full details feel free to write to J. T. Mullins, Route 5, Box 140, Waco, Texas."
