News Briefs
Ernest A. Finley, 1101 Dyson Road, West Columbia, Texas: "June 1st, I terminated seven years work in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the last four years being with the East-Central congregation there. I am now enjoying a very pleasant and pro f it able association with the church at West Columbia, Texas. A recent meeting here conducted by brother W. L Wharton resulted in six baptisms with high interest throughout. His lessons were excellent. Before the meetings, five were restored. My next scheduled meeting is with the church at Damon, Texas, October 5-11, where brother James Moore labors. Brother Owen McGee of West Columbia is now preaching regularly for the church at Brazoria, Texas, following brother T, E. Webb who did a good work there."

If anyone has any copies of the Advocate before 1943 for sale. I would appreciate hearing from them."
