We feel fortunate in securing
Grandol Forehand to come to
Trinidad, Colo, following his
graduation from ACC around the
first of June to be my co-laborer
for an indefinite period. Gran-
dors home church is Crowell.
I have heard a number of com-
plimentary things about this
young preacher of 20 years of
age. Never in our history of five
years and nine months have we
needed a co-worker as now.
From: our many meetings, per-
sonal work, sermons in the dail-
ies, sowing the field down with
" thousands of fine tracts, and
three years’ 30-minute broadcast
(Sundays 9-9:30 A.M.), which
reach 70,000 people, this large
field is beginning to show most
encouraging signs of a great har-
vest of souls.
Our Location is 213 Colo. Ave.
This is our year to "cash in"
on our prayers, tears, longings
and years of work and burdenr
bearing. With the coming of an-
other full-time teacher, preacher
~‘ and wofker we shall look for-
ward With delight to a most fruit-
ful harvest. While the work has
been hindered much by removals

Hall Famili/ Seeks
To Eater Work In
France By Sep^
Maurice Hall, wljo recently-
made announcement of plans for
work in France, this week stated
he hopes to sail for that work by
September. Melvin Anderson,
another ACC student, also plans
to. enter the work in France with
Brother Hall.
At present final arrangements
have not been made for a spon-
soring church and financial sup-
port. Maryville, Tenn, where
Brother Hall once lived and wor-
shiped for over a year, has writ-
ten that it is interested in having
part in the work.
A~series of special meetings is
being arranged to be held in
various cities in the interest of
this work, the first one to be at
Northside church building in Ab-
ilene, May 15; 3 P.M. Principal
speaker at the Abilene meeting
will be Brother Daniel Dreyer
who arrived here two weeks ago
from France. His subject will be
“France: Its problems and pros-
pects for preaching the Gospel.”
Three members of the church
have been contacted in Paris, and
Brother Hall has requested that
all persons knowing of members
in France write him at once.
The Hall family spent one year
working with Uy Gatewoods and
Palmers in F?a»»kfUrt, Germany

of these babes in Christ to tell
others the glad tidings which
had brought them to the Savior.
Two of the men were hardly dry
when we saw them discussing
the Scriptures with three others.
A working man who was bap-
tized last week is often seen with
his New -Testament in hand,
showing others ”what Jesus
taught. Another, who was bap-
tized the week before, has.Xpn
his own initiative, arranged
classes in the country for people
who could not come here to stu-
dy. At the first class, there were
30 present, and he (his name is
Luigi Migliori) presented most of
the lesson by himself. We are
greatly encouraged by the zeal
these havfe manifested; one can
but imagine the wonderful things
that could be done for Christ if
all Christians had that same zeal.
Before baptising anybody,
we have always stressed the
H fact that persecution is sur^*
io come, ihsi they will lose
their job*, their friend*. At
the same time we here re-
minded them of the promise
of Jesus that ho will provide
when all mon have turned a-
gainst us. There have been r
good number fearful of the
consequences, but others
have come regardless of the
circumstance*.
On* man said to me, "They
may get my hide, but they'll
never get my souL" Another
• with tears in his eyes, told
me: "But what can ' I dq?
They are going to raise my
rent and make mo lose my
job, and I have a family to
feed!" Thon he added with a
determined, resigned, tone of
voice, "But I don't care;
there's nothing els* to do."
A thing that hold* some
back is the apparent uncer-
tainty of our staying hare.
In high places it ha* been
said, and is now talked qll
over Frascati, that we will
soon be forced to leave. We
know that attempts to do
♦hat have been and will be
made, and w* beg our breth-
ren everywhere to approach
th* throne of grace on bur
behalf. Pray that we maybe
permitted to stay here and
preach the Good New*.

Much of the labor for this new s
