Preachers To New Locations
Cecil Belaker, 6807 New Hampshire, Hammond, Ind. "I began work as regular evangelist Feb. 1 for the Hessville church of Christ, Hammond, Ind.

Hubert Moss of Columbus, Miss., will preach in the meeting. The meeting house is located 6532 Arizona Ave."
J. M, Gillpatrick, 4700 Andrews, Amarillo, Texas: "After almost fourteen years of work wi h the Central church in Pampa I have resigned to move to Amarillo, Texas, to begin work with the Olsen Park church about June the first. With sadness we leave faithful brethren we have known and worked with so long, but with great anticipation and high hopes we begin work with the good brethren at Olsen Park."
Ross Saunders, Lake Wales, Florida: "The Lord willing on June 21, I shall begin work with the Lake Wales, Florida, church, This date will mark three and one-half years of very pleasant work in Lebanon, Kentucky. This has been a very profitable work in many ways. We are grateful for every opportunity to teach God's word to the people of this area. The brethren here are wonderful, and have a love for the truth. This church is looking for a preacher to begin work when we leave. I can recommend this work to any sound man in the faith, who will preach the truth simply, plainly, and boldly. These people are a sound congregation in every way, and any other kind of preaching would not meet with their expectations. They stand opposed to institutions of human origin doing the work of the church and this has been part of the preaching done in this area in proportion with other truths. Interested parties may address their inquiries to: Church of Christ, Box 18, Lebanon, Kentucky.
My family and I are looking forward to the work of the Lord in Lake Wales. We follow the Hugh Davis family there, which is in itself a good indication that the work will be pleasant and profitable one. We beseech your prayers as we enter this new area for us, to preach God's unsearchable riches to lost souls."
