Warning
Inasmuch as appeals have gone out for help from a group meeting here in Caldwell, and leaving the impression that this is a needy field, we take this opportunity of informing the brotherhood that there is a well-established congregation here, able to carry on its own work. In fact, we have been blessed to the point of being able to assist other congregations in the work.
It is our further conviction that any church, or individual receiving such appeals should thoroughly investigate the matter before sending any assistance, inasmuch as some have already sent assistance, not knowing that this group is not in fellowship with any known congregation in these regions.
Should anyone feel that our actions or information might be prejudicial in nature, we suggest that inquiry be made with any of the leaders or elders of neighboring churches.
Signed:
Fay E. Ivie

Will M. Thompson, Box 195, Anadarko, Okla., November 20: "I closed a good meeting at El Reno, Okla., November 16. Two were baptized and two identified with the congregation. Walker Hembree is the minister and is doing a good work. I baptized Walker in 1926 at Maud, Okla. Clifford Smith, whom I baptized at Tuttle, Okla., is also there. He is one of the deacons. Fine group of brethren at El Reno. I began meeting at Randlett yesterday, and we are off to a good start."

J. B. Cox Available For Work
James R. Cope
For the last twelve months, J. B. Cox, well known song leader among many churches, has been employed as field representative of Florida Christian College. During this time, brother Cox underwent a very serious operation. About the time he was sufficiently recovered to begin work again, he had an automobile accident, which resulted in the fracture of a hand. Recovering from this latter injury, it seemed for awhile that brother Cox would be able to continue his labors with the college; however, because the nature of his employment demanded that he spend so much time driving an automobile, his physicians have suggested that he engage in less strenuous work.
Brother Cox's efficiency as a leader of congregational singing is known by all who know him. He can as effectively and efficiently do this work as he ever did. Any church in need of a good man to work in a protracted meeting, direct or assist in a vacation Bible school, or do local church work would do well to contact brother Cox. He may be addressed at Temple Terrace Station, Tampa 4, Florida.

John T. Overbey, 2015 Kenwood Ave., Austin, Texas: "Several have been restored and a number have placed membership at Southside in Austin recently.. The congregation is faithful to attend the services in the Fulmore school auditorium while our new building is being constructed. Our Bible class attendance has averaged near 200 for the past five and one-half months. This is considerably better than we had expected—not having adequate facilities for carrying on such work. Many visitors attend our services each Lord's day. Our plans are to enter our new building by the third Sunday in February. When in Austin, visit with us at the Fulmore school located in the 200 block on South Congress Ave
