Rev1ev. eJ by Glenn H. Dt1\·i~ - ------- ROAMINGS OF THE EDITOR ince wr1t1ng last we have preached at che Fellowship Baptist Church at Young's Corner east of Medi na and are going there again tomorrow. The first time we had a fine time v.1ith this young church that needs a pastor. We feel this church will continue to grow and become one of our good country churches. On our way home attended the Hebron Minister's Fellowship Monday a t First Baptis t in Elyria and heard Pastor H erbert Webber of Rocky River speak. The H ebron brethren have GOD IS THY REFUGE God is thy refuge and thy stre11gth, Thy help i11 troubles sore; However fierce the trials are Jt1st trt1st in Hirn the more. Troubles without? Troubles ,vitl1i11? Be still and kno\,r that God Is still the great I AM, He k110,\' The path that thou dost plod. a real time of fellowship and prayer each month at Elyria and we always like to attend. March 12th we preached at the Havi– land Baptist Church near Van Wert in the morning and heard our own pastor a t Fostoria at night. Rev. Roy Johnson has closed his work at Haviland and is open for a new field. He lives at Latty, Ohio. The H aviland church is small and needs our prayers. It is an independent Baptist church.
