(Continued From Pago Two) /
It is my conviction that the real issue today Is rooted in one's
attitude toward the Word of God. Do we still accept it as the living,
Spirit-filled all-sufficient guide, and absolute authority in all we
believe and practice? The church of the Lord has inarched out of
j the bondage of sin and error by arming itself with an “it is

He continued that Paul Hui's work is "going well,’' having 20
baptisms so far in i960. "We have launched a building program for
the work here," Reeves said.

ENUGU, Nigeria—Waymon
Swain, evangelist of the church
in Minden, La., has returned to
the United States after six
months of preaching in Nigeria.
Working with Nigerian evan-
gelists who served as transla-
tors, Swain met 128 preaching
appointments. During his stay,
be Witnessed 230 baptisms and
had a part in planting five new
congregations.
Sixty-four of those baptized
were inmates in a Federal Pris-
on. Swain visited the prison 15
times. The congregation there
continues to meet on Wednes-
days and Sundays. “Interest
among the new Christians
seems very keen," said Bill
Curry.
Swain came to Nigeria on
March 31, 1966, just a few days
before the Dayton Keesee fami-
ly departed for America, com-
pleting their first term of serv-
ice in this African country.
Swain’s purpose was to carry on
the evangelist phase of Keesee’s
work while the latter was on
leave in the U.S.
• Curry, the missionary with
udiom Swain worked, observed,
‘‘His work shows what can be
accomplished in Nigeria by a
capable preacher who is free to
devote himself entirely to
preaching. Most missionaries
are prevented, by the pressure
attendance record of 60
established.
“A ladies Bible class was
begun in Kenai during the last
week in September and the in-
terest in this class shows to be
very favorable,’* Mize related.
A gospel meeting is scheduled
for October 29-November 3.
Truth funds to $6,500 in 1967.
The fund-raising method em-
ployed emphasized ^personal ini-
tiative in free-will offering. The
money subscribed for will not
deplete the local work budget.
Authorities in East Burleson
reported that involvement in the
Herald of Truth effort has
"created a new spirit of confi-
dence in the church. New fervor
promises to improve the local
educational program, the cot-
tage meeting program and
youth work. Numerous ideas
have been advanced which will
continue the trend toward gen-
eral improvement in the
church.”
Present elders for East
Burleson are Sam Hall, Sr.,
Sam Harris, Richard Perkins,
Arthur Scott and Clarence Kil-
patrick.
Roberts Visits Pakistan
KARACHI, Pakistan <CNS) — During the month of September
in Karachi two were baptized and one confessed wrong, according
to J. C. Choate, missionary to Pakistan. “One of those baptized was
a Muslim,” he said. _
Dr. J. W. Roberts, on leave from Abilene Christian College,
visited in Karachi on October 1-4- While there he preached three
times. “Gordon Hogan joined us on October 3,” Choate related.
Choate left for India on October 12 for about two months. He
will conduct meetings in Bombay, Madras, Hyderabad, Calcutta
and Shillong.
Colorado Congregation Started
TRAILER CITY, Colo. — Trailer City is the site of a new
congregation to be established shortly. This village of some 200
homes is located 15 miles from the east side of the Denver
suburban area.
“This is a unique work because there are no other churches in
this town,” said John Waddoy of Arvada, Colo. The work is being
undertaken by the church of Christ meeting at 6800 East 72nd
Avenue in Commerce City, a Denver suburb.
“Another uniawe facet of the work is that the Commerce City
group numbers only 75 members,’1 Waddey stated. The workers are
remodeling a dwelling for a meeting place and conducting a
canvass of the town. A meeting will kickoff the regular work and
worship of the new congregation.
