The brethren there are getting plans completed to build a new section to their old building, also to renovate the old structure and brick the entire meeting house. They have expressed a desire to have me do the preaching in a meeting they hope to have when the new plans are completed. Bro. Ray Russell is their preacher. He is in his ninth year and is doing a splendid work. When in Marshall visit with us at the South Washington congregation."

B. Hall Davis, 1919 Plank Road, North Baton Rouge, La., Sept. 2: "Last Lord's day a group of brethren with their families began meeting for the first time in the North part of the city. We shall earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints using as our guide the Word of God. We ask the prayers of all Christians in this new endeavor because we shall be striving to spread the glad tidings to those who have not heard the wonderful story of the Cross.

Baton Rouge is a city of some 150,000 people. This is only the second congregation of the Church here so you can see much needs to be done. Many opportunities await those who want to work in the Master's vineyard.

When in this vicinity stop and worship with us. "Come let us reason together."
