Preparations are almost completed for the first gospel
meeting to be conducted in the capital of France.
The meeting will be held in Paris June 4 to June 12, with
S. F. Timmerman, Jr., of Liege, Belgium,, preaching in th£
French language, and Jack McKinney of Abilene, Texas, a
student in the University of Heidelberg, Germany, leading
the singing. x
This, besides being the first meeting in France, will be the
first instance of cooperation in such a special evangelistic
effort among brethren in foreign fields. -
Maurice Hall, Melvin Anderson, ana J. Lee Roberts, mis-
sionaries in Paris, are widdy advertising the services By
means of the newspapers, both English and French language;
radio; and billboard. Brother Hall reports that the only diffi-
culties expected are perhaps some troubles from Catholic in-
fluence, but as yet such opposition has not been strong.
