F. B. Shepherd: "I arrived back in the U.S.A. March 6 after a very pleasant time in England and on the continent. Had the privilege of speaking in Paris, Frankfurt, Liege, London, and a number of other places in the British Isles. Everywhere I went the brethren were very gracious to me. I enjoyed working with the British brethren immensely. I am persuaded close fellowship between us would be mutually helpful. The better acquainted brethren get with each other usually results in deeper appreciation. I am now in a meeting with the church in Milwaukee, Wis. Will remain here eleven days, then to Rochester, Minn."

Frank Trayler, Chaplain, USAF, 1406 Clower St., San Antonio, Texas, March 28: "ATTENTION ALL SERVICE MEN IN CHINA THEATER: The Church of Christ meets every Lord's day in the home of Elizabeth C. Bernard, No. 18 Kaam Shaan Street, Tai Po Market N. T., Kowloon, Hong Kong, China. Sister Bernard is an American who is caring for seven orphans in her home (three rooms) and some brethren from the city proper come each Sunday to conduct worship in her home. She would be thrilled to meet some American service men, and have them worship in the small assembly over there. A larger meeting place could be rented at present with some help from America, but with prices rising, Sister Bernard may have to let one of her three rooms go. Why not write a line to Sister Bernard."

Eugene Britnell, Box 23, Manila, Ark., March 27: "I have been with the church here since last October, and I'm enjoying the work with splendid cooperation. Our attendance and contribution are good and the work in general is progressing. I have some time open for meetings this summer. The Guardian is doing a good work in its fight for apostolic Christianity."

B. Finley, Box 1255, Goldthwaite, Texas, April 2: "On February 20 I began my labors with the church here. Work has started off in a very fine way and our Bible school attendance for the past four Sundays has shown an increase despite cold weather and much illness in the congregation. Our first meeting will be April 10 through 18 with my son, Ernest A. Finley, of Wichita, Kan., preaching. The last of July brother Luther Blackmon of Lufkin will be with us in a two weeks meeting. Brother L. L. Freeman of Lazbuddie will succeed me in the work at Italy, Texas, and we hope for him and the church there a happy and profitable work together."
