BAPTIST Cleveland Aug. 11th Pastor and Mrs. Donald Woodby left on a three week's trip to Alaska to visit the Baptist Mid-Mis– sion fields there. Their church is sending them on behalf of their mis– sion program. Se pt. 22-27 will be Dedication Week for the $85,000 Educational wir1g, with Evangelist Harry Trover as the guest speaker. The first unit of the new church was built in 1956. Now the worship auditorium has been enlarged and the Sunday school can care for 500 in 8 separate departments. Pastor Woodby reports that one blessing in the construction was that both the architect and general contractor were real believers and members of funcla– mental churches.

Not only so, but the Church Buildings Committee, uncler the direc– tion of Harold Hill, did almost a $50,- 000 business and has loan deposits of $103,000. CALVARY BAPTIST, Canton God has been blessing since Pastor Edw. Helmick came. A Children's Day orogram v,·as given June 7, a surprise l1ouse-warming for the pastor's family was held Sunday evening, June 14th. A joint baptismal service was held at the Calvary Bantist Church of Moffitt Heights, Massillon, June 28th. July J 2th the Sunday school reached 119. Now they are looking forward to a good Vacation Bible School, Aug. 17-26, and to an evangelistic campaign under Kurt Wetzel Oct. 19-Nov. 1. NORWALK BIBLE INSTITUTE The Norwalk Bible Institute will be– gin i1 s fall work at the Calvary Bap– tist Church there Sept. 8th. The teachers ,vill be Pastors Matheny of Rochester. Barrett of Camden, Beightol of Norwalk, Galt of Spencer, and Rev . L. W. Beckley. There is also some one by the name of Hull who teaches three classes, but we are not sure whether this is a pastor or a gifted layman (or lay-woman). This school has been serving the Norwalk area for many years. CALVARY BAPTIST, Ashland The Calvary church had 21 Juniors at Camp Patmos this year who reported a wonderful time. Sunday school in July had a high of 131, and church of 140. The pastor's son, John Alex– ander, has received a scholarship to attend Malverne College in England for one year. He graduated £r0m Stony Brook with highest honors last June.
