W. Earl Mansur, 241 E. Arlight, Monterey Park, Calif., Nov. 16: "The meeting in Porterville closed last week with good attendance and interest. This is a splendid church and appreciates very much the zeal and efforts of Brother Edward A. Brouillette, the local preacher. Brother Brouilliette, though a young preacher, is sound in the Faith and is highly respected in that section. Work with the church here in Montebello progresses pleasantly."

Luther G. Roberts, 2110 West 2nd Ave., Corsicana, Texas, Nov. 14: "I began on Sept. 21st of this year what has been so far, and what promises to be in the future, a pleasant work with the West Side church, 1465 West 2nd Ave., this city. The congregation has about 180 members with a church building that will seat some 400 people. The Bible school attendance averages about what the total membership of the church is, and the contribution averages approximately $2.20 each member per week. The church has an excellent meetinghouse erected four years ago and would be conservatively valued at $100,000 at the present time. They owe $6,000 on the property. The three congregations of Corsicana plan a teacher's training course to be conducted at the West Side building Dec. 8 to 12. The classes are to be held each evening at 7:30. Sister Claude B. Holcomb is to conduct the class for teachers of pre-school and primary grades. Sister Luther G. Roberts is to instruct the teachers of the intermediate and junior grades, and I am to teach the class for teachers of senior and adult Bible classes. Surrounding congregations are invited to attend and have a part in this work."
