The dace is April 5 and 6 , 1962, so it is time co start planning. SHARON BAPTIST, Sharon, Pa. Pastor Tom Wright reports that all is fine at Sharon Baptist, with packed serv– ices. He says, "We closed a meeting with D. E. Luttrell and had souls saved and a blessed time. Our young people are still g oing strong with Voices of Youth. They have two guest editor s each m onth. When it first started we only had three who could handle the job, but with the Lordts help there are quite a number now able to do typing, editing, etc." We think Pastor Wright deserves much of the credit.
