Reports

Charles A. Holt, P. O. Box 1565, Lufkin, Texas. 75901. "On Friday evening, July 15, I closed a meeting with the congregation in Corrigan, Texas. One young lady was baptized. The interest and attendance were good. I am now working regularlywith this-fine group of Christians and we are making steady progress. The daily radio program over KRBA here in Lufkin continues (it has been on about two years) with excellent interest and evident good for the Cause of Truth. Jim Everett and Ardie P. Brown, Jr. have recently 'filled in' on this program with fine lessons. The radio program has moved one group of Baptists to debate, and I am scheduled to meet Vernon L. Barr, a well-known Baptist debater, in a debate here in Lufkin in October. I go to Fowlkes, Tennessee, for a meeting the latter part of August. It will be my third meeting there. I edit a quarterly magazine--"SENTINEL OF TRUTH," which is enjoying a large circulation and is finding a warm and receptive response. Sample copies are sent free upon request. It would be a pleasure to send it to all the readers of the Gospel Guardian. Send in your request today."
