HINCKLEY RIDGE HAS OIB DRIVE Mrs. Edwin Kolarek writes that she has felt a burden to get subscriptions to the OIB and to interest the church in the Home for the Aged, Camp Patmos. etc. She says some nice things abou t the preaching of the editor too, who visited the church some time ago, b u t humility forbids the print– ing of t hat. Nevertheless, thank you! We need about 50 more {{ood women in as many churches, ,vho will help their pastor get subscriptions, or we will never reach that goal of 2.000. Rev. Ralph Stearns is the faithful pastor of the Hinckley Ridge church. MEMORIAL BAPTIST , Columbus The Memorial church recently en– joyed a missionary message from Mrs . Alta .Jacobson.
