An offering was taken which amounted to S 182.82, which will be given to Mrs. Zouck for the wo rk in Africa. " GOOD NEWS FROM MRS. KAUTZ Eleven new subscriptions came from the Berea Baptist Church and there were a few others here and there, and only one dropped, so our mailing list is now up to 15 91 again. Could YOUR church or class or mission circle help bring it up to 1700 again even if it is summer? Some people really do apprecia te it, as Rev. and Mrs. R ichard Teachout in Central African Re– public. They write, "We want to thank you very much for the subscription of the Ohio Independent Baptist. We are so g lad to re~eive it." In fact, they were so glad, that thi s year they paid for it themselves. If a missionary can afford it, why can't others? BLE ED HOPE BAPTI T, pringfield The Annual Report for 1960 just came to the editor's desk. During the year 44 were baptized and 11 taken in by letter or experience, with a net gain of 35. T o tal receipts were nearly $40,000. Average . S. attendance was 322, or 28 more than the year before. As it looks n ow, rhe '61 report will be better yet.
