If we wotrl<l a k thi que tion of the folk at hilli cothe, the answer wou ]d be found in teen-ager that have been aved, in the thri ll that come in finding fellow hip among believer in a chur ch that i not con– nected with the apo ta y and that is not under the domination of the loca] mini terium. I t would be in the ati·.,– f ac tion fot1nd in eei ng one of their yot1ng people go off to Cedarvil le Co)lege rather than j nto a State Uni– v er ity. There is a "use" to the tarti ng of new churche and it wil l be written deep into the Ji ve of ,people for a generation to come.

LEHMAN STRAUSS - Churches' Opinion Desired In Decembe r a letter wa sent to the churches of th e 0 .A.R.8 .C. as a ple b isc ite to ascer tain whether or not the vote taken at the An– nual Business Meeting in Niles was truly the feeling of our churches. Attache d to this letter was a sec.. tion which afforded each church an opportunity to declare their feel .. ings as to their giving, prayer and financial support to the Ohio In.. dependent Baptist. Also, they were asked if they would be willing to promote the magazine in their churches by seeking to gain new subscribers. We must have many more subscribers if the 0.1.8 . is to become debt free! If any church has not taken ac– tion on this, please do so at once. Send your letter to Rev. Darrell Bice, Secretary of our Council of Ten. Brother Bice's address is First Baptist Church, 125 Grand Ave., Wellington, Ohio. This is an im– portant item and we must have the mind of our churches in this matter. ORPHANS ... . . .
