Brother W. V. Maddox, one of
the elders of the Broadway con-
gregation was master of ceremon-
ies. Brother Don H. Morris, pres-
ident of Abilene Christian col-
lege gave the invocation. Broth-
er J. P. Crenshaw, evangelist
from Plainview, gave the princi-
pal address. He called attention
to the need for additional homes
for children and emphasized the
fact that churches of Christ
should be foremost in this work.
Brother John B. White, super -
of the home, spoke
briefly on “The Conservation of
our Children” and explained de-
tails of the proposed construc-
tion, which will eventually care
for 300 or more children. Hymns
were sung by a chorus fronpc-^e
Broadway congregation tflUer
the direction of Horace Coffman,
associate minister. Brother Cleon
Lyles, evangelist from Little
Rock, Arkansas, led the closing
prayer.
Construction of the first unit
will get under way immediately.
Other units will be built as rap-
idly as funds are available. It is
hoped that three or four can be
completed within the next few
months. Each unit will be a large,
family-size cottage with facilities
for 15 to 18 children. The chil-
dren in each will live as a sep-
arate family unit under the su-
pervision of cottage parents.
A great need is known to ex-
ist for more children’s homes.
Existing homes of the land now
offering sanctuary to the home-
less are being forced to turn
children away almost weekly. Of-
ficials of the state department of *
Public Welfare state that more
suitable homes for children are
8 badly needed. zn >
