The Trustees of Home and Camp l1a,,e seen a property in Akron that seems so su it able for an Old P eo– ple's H ome that they have put a conditional option upon it, pending a definite decision by tl1e city and state that a license would be grant– ed to u se it as a Home for the Aged . Next month we hope to have the an swer to th at question :-ind we wi ll then take two pages of the magazine to tell and p icture the l:eauties of this mansion, price and plans, or have to share the sad news that it cannot be u sed. How it can fa il to meet state require– ments is beyond the editor, but in the mea n time we urge all our read– ers to pray that God's w ill be done. WHEELERSBURG DEDICATES ADDITION Easter was a glorious day for the Wheelersburg M i s s i o n a r y Baptist Church. At 6:30 A.M. they were host to a Sunrise Service at Memorial P ark, with music by the combined choirs of Wheelersburg and the Temple Baptist Church of Portsmouth. The invocation was gi,,en by P astor H all Dautel of the Temple Baptist Church and the message by P astor Martin Holmes of Wheelersburg. After big crowds at the Sunday ~~hool and morning worship hours, a ded ication ~ervice was helcl at 2:30 to ~et c1side the Sunday school acldition for the service of God. Rev. H all Dautel brought the message a t this service . It is a two story block build– ing that opens up into the auditorium so that 1t can be used both for Sun– dav school a11d to enlarge 'i..he wor– ship auditorium and ·orovide i"l large nursery on the second floor, where the mother s can see the service and yet have the assurance their little ones won't cl isturb the service . Besides these two large rooms. up and down, there are several smaller class rooms. This c1cldi ticn was ded icated to the memory of Rev. J ohh Adkins, who gave his life for the organization a11d up-build– ing of this church.

FULLER RESIGNS News came too late last month to report the resignation of Rev. Robert W. Fuller from his second pastorate May 19!i9 -~~~~ ,vitl1 the F airfield Baptis t Church ,)f Tl1urtito11 al)out the midcllc of March. I-Iis f 1rs t pastorate was for one yea r 111 1949 and 1950. His last pastorate was four and a h alf years, having begun in October of 1954. During t hat time 26 were taken into the church, an addi tion was bu ilt that provided much needed Sunday school room and for a l)aptistry. An electric organ was also purchased . The church clerk says, "Brother Fuller preach ed the full gospel £ear– les£ ly accor d ing to his convictions. Under his leadership the church as– s umed obligations to support Cedar– ,,ille College, Baptist Mid-Missions Home Office, a lso their work in French Equatorial Africa , and J ewish work in Cleveland, a new work with the Hooi Indians, a nd .:1lso the work ,)£ ABWE in S ao P aulo , Brazil. He car– ried on a local weekly 15 minute broadcast over a period of 20 months ." We under stand that Brother Fuller has not been well lately and has not vet fully decided upon a field of serv– ice, but he has expressed himself t o the eclitor that he hopes the Lord w ill open uo a field within our fellow- shio. - The Fairfield Baptist Church is ex– periencing blessings and is already hearing candidates, so we hope it won ' t be long until we can announce a new pastor. A Centennial Celebra– tion is planned for May third, with Rev. James T . J eremiah of Cedarville College c1s the guest speaker. FIRST BAPTIST, Gallipolis Easter Sunday the attendance reached a high of 442! The pastor is starting a church membership class, 6: 30 Sun– day evenings, that will run until May 10th .

J ames Godley and family. They are under the F ellow– ship of Baptists for Home Missions and go from place to place establish – ing fundamental Baptist churches . CEDAR HILL BAPTIST.
