E AR E BEEBETOWN BAPTIST, Brunswick Mortimer Olds writes, "Have been reading in the 0 .I .B. how so many churches have been 'added to,' so I thought I would report how the H oly Spirit has been working here under the ministry of Bro. Lapp. For a number of weeks some have come forward, some for salvation, some for baptism, and some for member– ship who have previously been baptized. Last evening (May 21 ) Bro. Lapp bap– tized 10 a t the Berea Baptist Church, jn– cluding one entire family. Our unday school has doubled, due to a contest. We are looking forward to D .V.B.S. and ex– pect, with the Lord 's help, to increase still more! " Thank you, Bro. Olds! W rice often.
