Rey11hout says i11 part: "Mrs. Reynhout a11d I had open house June 8th at the time of the graduation of our only son. He is preparing for college. About 200 :folk ,vere in attendance. The church board is planning for a dinner for the Advisory Board in recognition of our fifth anniversary. The time in Elyria has been a precious five years. We thank the Lord for having allowed us this privilege. Our church board has been very gracious and coopera– tive." CALVARY BAPTIST, Massillon Pastor Louie Di Placido writes ' 'W c had Evangelis t Charles E. Boren' May 11-17, and his mi11istry was a real chil– lenge 1.o Chris tians and was used to win the los t as well. In the last two days 20 children r esponcled to the in– vita tion , and two adults were led to the Lorcl in their ho1nc . "As we r eported earlier the church received a $1 ,000 grant fr~m the Bap– tist Builde rs' Club . On May 20th the church voted to begin construction on the auditorium this summer if the necessar y funds could be forthcom– ing. By Sunday, May 24th, ihe month– ly pledges were more than enough to meet the payments and as soon as plans ar e completed, construction will begin . "We are planni11g Vacation Bible School for the week of June 22. June 16th we h ad a special service featur– ing a male quartet from the Baptist Bible Seminary." Just briefly we must summarize the rest. The building deb t is all paid aT'd now they are almost ready with plans for enlargement. A record May average in S.S. came this year, with ·:-,-.,..~---~-~~..,,~ '127 so 1hey are indeed forced to build. Over 50 are going to Camp Patmos-more Seniors than Juniors . The Spring Concert of Music was held in conjunction with a specia l panto– mime of the h eroes of faith in He – brews 11 called "The Cloud of Witnesses.' ' This musical pantomime was composed by Harley Stevick, a long time member and active in the choir. CALLED TO MICHIGAN Pastor J ames 0. Taylor. who h as served the Union Baptist Church near Richwood, Ohio, and been interested in our fundamental position, has been called to an Independent Baptist Church at Onsted, Michjgan. He says this is a small village, but that there is a growing Baptist work ther e with an average of 200 in Sunday school. May the Lord bless our brother and subscriber to the OIB, and we also pray that the Union Baptis t Church will call a good, Bible believing man. E. V. HOWELL HONORED News has come that Rev. E. V. Howell, who prececl ecl Rev.

Wonderful, from one of our smaller, and yet growing, churches. Did any Ohio church send more messenger s than that? Churches in an associa– tion, whether state or national, should care enougl1 to [end messengers and to give monthly or quarterly support. WE'RE SORRY Our attention was just called to an error we made in the name of the subscription agent from the Euclid– Nottingham church in the March issue. We gave it as Mrs. W. J . Davis, when it should have been Mrs. W. J. Davie3. The editor has to take full r esponsibility for this one, although we hope readers realize that some mi .stakes slip in as 'printers' mistakes." Proofreaders get most mis-spellings of common words or mixing of type or slugs, but mistakes that look all right as they glance down the page are not so easily detected. So while both editor and printer try to do their best. both ar e fallible and make mistakes at times. r I I~.J, r ..
