The Ohio Independent Baptist, May 1964

Council of Ten Meetings Enioyed By 018 Editor By James R. Johnson One of the joys of being editor of the Ohio Independent Bapti t mag– azi ne the e pa t two year i that of meeting and fellow hiping with men of the Council of Ten at variou meet– ing during the year. Truly these ac– ca ion have been enlightening in the ervice of the Lord while the friend– hip with men of like fait h i wonder– ful. On Monday, April l 3-14 the Coun– cil of Ten met a t Fir st Bapti t Church Bowling Gr een, Ohio wher e Rev. Clarence Town end , ecr etary of the Ohio A ociation of Regul ar Baptist churche , is pa tor . Since my work at the newspaper office wa completed early, I journeyed to Bowling Gr een, arr iving about 3 p.m. while the coun– ci l wa already in ess ion. Richard Davison, OARBC treasurer, who works at Gener al Motors in Dayton, arrived a short time later to give his report to the council . Busy every minute T her e is much to be completed when the Council of Ten meet , ther e– fore every minute i utilized to its fullest by Chairman T . Fred Hussey to keep the d iscuss ion center ed pec if i– cally on the business at hand. A wealth of wisdom i di played by the men of the cou nci l as they talk pro and con on the matter before them. They don' t always agree, and tha t i a healthy climate in a d iscuss ion meet– ing of thi ort , because ult imately they arrive at the best possible an– ~wer to the business of the OARB . A place for the annual meeti ng was agreed upon by the council, but an announcement wil l be relea ed at a later date after cont irmation by the pastor of the ho t church and other detail~ are completed. Nonethe– less, we look forward in anticipation to another annual meeting such as that last year at n1r11anuel Baptis t hurch in r-1,oledo, where friend s ca n again 111ec l, l1a ve fellowship with each {>lhcr and experience another ref resl1ing tin1e arou 1ld tl1c Word of JOd . r J1 e 111 e11 Of t}1e COUnci (, Of COLIJ' SC, do take: t i r11 c: ou t to cat and wc:re ervcd a deligl1tft1I di11ner b)' wo111e,1 f tl1e ~ ir l BaJJtist l1urc l1 . .,Il e ct1icl'c11, p a , hukt=d ()Otat ()e , sa lad, rolls and bLtlt er, pi , coffet: a rid le a, \Vere a re f re l1i11g l>reak for tl1e n1cn.

THE OHIO INDEPENDENT BAPTIST C hurche in our fellow hip have much to be thankful for by having men of such caliber on the Council of T en and in our fellow h ip churches.
