W. Earl Mansur, Box 358, Ringling, Oklahoma, Feb. 14: "It was hard to leave the good church at Montebello, California as we were very close to all the members of that congregation. We are yet not settled in the work here but are looking forward to a profitable period of labor with these brethren. This is a young church and most of the members are still babes in Christ. We hope to be able to strengthen them in the faith and to develop much needed talent in all phases of the work. I will do the preaching here in a meeting beginning March 6th. My next meeting will be April 11-20 with the church in Marvell, Arkansas."
John Bluuock, Box 96, Springtown, Texas, Feb. 18: "Four were baptized last Lord's day. This makes a total of sixteen baptized and one restored since February 1st. Our program of personal work is designed from Luke 14:23, where the Master said, `Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in.' The response is gratifying indeed."
T. D. Boston, Sr., 806 E. Pecan, Victoria, Texas, March 1: "Prospects are brighter at North and DeLeon in Victoria. Three, who moved here from North Carolina, cast their lot with us. One erring Christian restored. If down our way come and worship with us."
