-Off With the Old-On With the New”
This issue discusses the newness found in a Chris-
tian’s life and those things which must be put off
and also the things w hich must be put on for a
truly Christian character. A Christian’s life should
always have “newness” described in II Corinth-
ians 5:17, else our lives become as they formerly
were. The following women discuss the many as-
pects of the new life:
Wn. Lloyd E. Ellis of Chula Vista, Califor-
nia; Mrs. Robert L. Conner of Dallas; Mrs.
Edward H. Rockey of Levittown, New
York; Margaret Leonard of Nashville; Mrs.
John W. Pigg of Gunter, Texas; Mrs. Joe
W. Cariker of Cushing, Texas; Mrs. Sam
Crawford of Dallas; Mrs. Dut wood Boggs
of Bonham, Texas.

By RAYMOND BOOTH
BROOKFIELD, Mass—We,
the Brookfield church on Tisk-
dale Road, are in a period of
depression. Can someone send
help temporarily to lift us
from the red into the black.
Is there a church who will
sponsor the Brookfield
church? Are there a few who
will send $10 per month to
help put the church here on
a solid foundation financially?
We are willing to answer
questions about .every part of
the work.
We need aid to help with
the preaching and aid to hold
gospel meetings. Who will be
the first to answer our plea,
to keep the church in Brook-
field, Massachusetts?
If this message enters your
heart and you desire to help
us with the Lord’s work here,
please send your gift to:
