Now they write that they en– ioy it, and also to say that they know George Hunt of Flushing, N. Y. , and feel that Emmanuel of Toledo chose a very good pastor when they called him. Then they sent a copy of The Empire State Baptist, an 8 page monthly that tells of the churches of like faith in New York. As an editor, we appreciated that very much. ROAD FORK BAPTIST, Harriettsville The meetings in October with Sing– ing Evangelist Lynn Roger s proved a real su ccess. A week of cottage prayer meetings beforehand evidenced con– cern over the lost, and during the meeting three came to Christ and one returned to fellowship. One lady had victory over a 30 year smoke habit.
