( ou'll miss a blessing jf you fail to attend our 34th Annual Meeting at Immanuel Baptist Church Oct. 16-19! A fine program has been prepared, Pastor Brock and his church will be disappointed if 300 do not come for the whole conference and 500 that last day-with 1,000 out evenings! Every Church hould Have At Least One Representative and a car load full will be much better! When you read this it ,vill be too late to get free rooms, but come anyway. The bless– ings will more than repay the expense of hotel or morel rooms! Remember the place: Emmanuel Bapt:st Church, 341 7 Pal– metto at Derrer Rd.
