interested members of nearly
all Kansas City congregations
were in attendance to hear A.
R Kepple, veteran Kansas City
evangelist of some 20 years, de-
liver some challenging remarks
to the group.
Since this was also the oc-
casion of the monthly singing
of the Kansas City churches, it
was also a treat to have Joe
Lewis, Professor of Music at
York College, present to give
some hints on improvement of
congregational singing.

area is a new addition that has
been added to Havre in the
last few years
The contractor who built the
Highland Park addition reserved
these lots especially for a
church building. They are in a
choice area of the city. The
lots are located on Lincoln
Ave and 11th St. 11th St. 1b

the majority of Havre's traffic
from Great Falls, Mont. Like-
wise, the immediate and future
expansion of Havre is in the
Highland Park area and adja
cent areas all in this location.
The church in Tulia, T°x.,
will support the Carter family
and Carter will be under the
oversight of the elders there.
If anyone wishes to receive in-
formation concerning this work,
ph use feel free to contact the
Tulia elders. The Carters hope
to be coworkers with the Crip
pen family who will work with
them in Harvre for two years.

Sunday morning service at Col

pie had responded to the invi-
tation of Christ since the begin

press in words the feelings of
churches of Christ in Wilson

done in the past few weeks. It
there had been no response at
all. the tent meeting at Leban-
on would be worth every penny
that was spent and much more.
