Doyle Banta, 1309 — 9th Ave. S.E., Decatur, Alabama, Jan. 10: "In the past two months 17 have placed membership, four baptized, and one restored at Sommerville Road. We began double services yesterday with record crowds at all services. One hundred seventeen attended Bible school at 8:00 a.m., 169 attended worship at 8:45, 124 attended Bible school at 10:15 a.m., 145 attended worship at 11.00, giving us a total of 241 in classes and 309 for worship. Two hundred thirty-six attended the night service. We now have 170 active members. We plan double services till we are able to erect our new auditorium. All five congregations here are having record crowds."
Joe H. Morris, 2707 Ky Ave., Paducah, Kentucky, Jan. 10: "Two large audiences with four identified at Clements Street yesterday. Our radio program continues to bear much fruit."
W. D. Black, Evant, Texas, Jan. 9: "We had a good day at Copperas Cove yesterday. One adult confessed his Lord and was baptized into Christ, and one who had been unfaithful confessed his wrongs and was restored to the fellowship of the saints. Definitely the work is on the increase. We are few in number, but rich in faith and zeal, and have a mind to work. We desire your prayers that we may continue to grow."
I. D. Janney, 1201 Homer St., Charleston 2, West Virginia, Jan. 11: "I closed out my meeting work for '54 in Ten-town, Kentucky; no additions there. It is a difficult community to work in. The church there is very weak. They are opposed to Bible classes in the meeting house; the result is that the young people have no respect for the church. An outlaw cursed us out. I preached to the brethren at Irvine, Kentucky while in the state. They seem to be making some progress. Brother Davies and I baptized a sick lady here. I am booking meetings for '55 and '56. Can give good references."
