Sunburv ~ ttg. 26th this ne\\ 1 ly organized church ,,oted to seek fellowship in l)oth the Ohio and General Regular Bapti t A sociations. Pastor George Zinn teaches mu ic at Cedarville Col– lege and often goes out as song leader 1n re,,i\•als. and so is a very busy man He reports that the church meets in the Sunbury High School and has an attendance of 50 to 55. May th e Lord richly bless them as they come into our fellowship at Springfield and especiall:y as they continue to strive for souls in and around Sunbury. FUNDAMENTAL BAPTIST, Tallmadge Evangelist D. E. Luttrell of Braden– ton. Fla ., is in the midst of meetings "\\·ith Pastor B. F. Cate and his mem– bers. September is a poor month for evangelism. but we are sure this hard ,vorking team will bring r esults. FIRST BAPTIST 1 Bowling Green A Class for Retarded Children h as been organized, with Mrs. Clarence Townsend as the teacher . Since so f e\\· churches have sur.h a class this may be the me::3ns of reaching new families-especially parents who have had to stay home and care for that most beloved of all their childr en. This way they can bring the child and themselves enjoy a parents class. BETHEL BAPTIST, Erie, P a. The late Vacation Bible School, Aug. 10- 21, proved a real success, with a total enrollment of 499, average at– tendance of 317, and with over 2.000 Bible verses memorized. Besides this their_mission church, G::irden Height~ Baptist Church, where Eric Larson is uastor. held their DVS at the same tjme and had a high of 103 in attend– ance. WHEELERSBURG MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH The church has had a wonderful year financially under the leadership of P astor Martin Holmes. A total of S16,706 was given in ten monhts but the analysis is more interesting. ' The missionary giving was 16r/r of the whole. much higher than in the past oa~to:'s salary took nearly 19rt, , th~ hu1ld1ng fund received a little over 30r,. and local expenses and Sunday school took 35 r i .

EMMANUEL BAPTIST, Xenia Aug. 23rd proved to be an unusual and blessed day. At the evening service Pastor F. Da le Cadman had the joy of baptizing his own daughter Carol, as well as other s who have r e – cently found the Lord. Before the baptism, however , he noticed two adults and three young people who had come all the way from the Gal– }j polis church to hear him preach and invite him to come to speak to a Youth Service in Gallipolis. The young people had so enjoyed his work as Sports Director at Camp Patmos that 1 hey figured h e must be a good preacher also! After the service there was a fel– lowship hour and refreshments in honor of one of the families of Em– manuel who was moving away. So Aug. 23rd will long be remembered as a full day. TRINITY BAPTIST, Lorain Trinity boasts of having the largest number of young people at camp for one single week. July 27-Aug. 1, they had 18 boys, 13 girls and 3 counsel– lors-a total of 34. They also had 15 Seniors Aug. 24-29, which brought the total up to 49. Whether they won in the total number we doubt, but 49 is very good for one of our medium sized churches. Evangelist Don Winter s of Coshocton held meetings Sept . 3-13. CALVARY BAPTIST, Tiffin F ive were baptized into the mem– bership by Pastor G. H .
