I\f, dear Bro ther . l received a check fron1 Brot her Earl Willetts today' in the amount of .... 6-0 ent b) ) ou from the Ohio A ociation of Regular Baptist Churches. Belle, e me. I an, indeed very grateful. \\'hoe, 1 er told the A ociation of my condition I don 't know, but perhaps on1e one \vho vi ited u at one time or another, or who had heard of my 1tuat1 n pre ented th at need to you dear people. The Ohio A ociation i very. very dear to me . I a ttended the firs t meeting ot the A ociation about 43 year ago when it was organized in the Central Bapt1 t Church in Columbus and I have learned to love the Association , pra) ed for it all the e year . How faithful the A ociation has been to me and our work , so naturall y \\ hen that check arrived today I could not help breaking down and weeping, thanking our ble ed Lord for uch wonderful Christian friends. You no doubt learned tha t my problem is muscular dystrophy and I have lo t u e of my leg and arms with the exception of three fingers on my right hand . I mu t be helped in anything that I want to do . I must be fed, put to hed and even to be turned over as I cannot turn my body in bed . My organs have become very weak and the saliva ry glands have so weakened that the aliva tick in my throat and unless I can bring it up either by coughing or h; u e of an a pirator it would choke me to death . But through it al l the Lord has been richly blessing, bringing many people into our home to visit us, people of a ll religious views and they never leave our home withou t their being preached to, so we tha nk the Lord for thi wonderful opportunity. The mo t pre~ious thing in my life is the hope that the Lord has given u and we pray dally that the Lord will soon come. I am like a man who had worked all day long an.d got so tired he just lo nged to go home a t night and re t. and brother . that 1s exactly how I feel , I am longing to go Home. Daily I pray, Even so come, Lord Jesus. . Please extend my love and prayers to the Association for whom I constantly pra1 e my Lord. Your in His Wonderful Name ' Rev. Joseph McCaba , Consultant Good Neighbor! Needi ng a cup of sugar I knocked a t rny neighbor's door. I meant to stay only a minute, But l1ngered an hour or more. For there on her kitchen table and open Bible Jay She put down her work, read to me, then we bowed our heads to pray. I gave. my life to the Saviour, as we knelt by her k1tchen chair. Now I thank God for a neighbor who had more than sugar to share. ...

Bates 2246 Fourth Street Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio 44221 Phone: (216) 928-6231 One Solution To the Problem Years ago a young man knelt wit hi pa tor and prayed as he committe himself to God to tithe. His fir week's pay was for $10 and the titt. for $ J• As he grew older he becam more prosperous, his tithe was $7.50 week, then $10. He moved to anothe city and soon his tithe was $100 week, then $200, then $500. He ser hi s friend, the pastor, a wire, "Com to see me." The pastor arrived i the man's beautiful home. They ha a good time talking over old time' Finally, the man came to the poin "You remember that promise I mad year s ago to tithe. How can I gt released?' ' "Why do you want to be released? "It's like this," the man repliec. "When I made the promise, I onl had to g~ve a dollar, but now it $500. I can't afford to give awa money like that." The old pastor looked at hi friend, "I'm afraid we cannot get rt leased from the promise, but ther is something we can do. We can knet here and ask God to shri nk up you income so you can afford to give dollar." Subscribe to: $2.00 per year The Ohio Independent Baptis1 FOR A FRIEND Sox 160 Xenia, Ohio 45385
