Bay Shore Group Gathers;
Hears Report on Building
FORT WORTH, Tex.—The first meeting of the Exo-
dus/Bay Shore movement as a congregation was held
at the Bedford Ranch northeast of Fort Worth May 4
and 5.
One of the main highlights of the recent meeting
was a report from Don McHam, an elder of the Richland
Hills Church of Christ in Fort Worth, saying that an
eight-acre site for a building had been purchased.
This was the fifth and final session of committee
families before the exodus is realized and a congrega-
tion is started at Bay Shore, Long Island, New York.
Approximately 220 persons and 75 families are now
planning to make the move to New York. Many of these
people are <
sional workers. All of the leaders of the movement are
Abilene Christian College graduates.
A number have already resigned their positions in
order to make the movd.
Construction on .the building will begin about June
1 and plans are for the group to begin the mass exodus
in June also——................———

Tennesseans Lose Homes
As Twister Lashes Area
ALAMO, Tenn. — The building of the Nance
Church of Christ near Alamo was completely de-
stroyed by a tornado which whirled through Crock-
ett County April 29.
The twister left in its path three dead and about
20 wrecked houses, the majority of them belonging
to members of the Church of Christ.
Some of the families had no
insurance whatsoever on their
bouses or the contents. The
Nance congregation has spent
more than 34000 on repairs
of the brick veneer building
in the last three years.
r-. W. A. Bradfield, who has
been preaching there for more
than seven years on a part-
time basis, reports that the
group has made arrange-
ments to meet temporarily in
the old building used by the
Alamo church before it moved
into their now building? .
The loss of the church build
ing at Nance was partly cov
ered by insurance, said Brad
field. However, a number of
the individual families are
desperately in need of help
to rebuild and refurnish their
F---------- - .....
homes, he added.
“This congregation which
has answered many calls for
helb in many place* through
the years stands in need of
help itself today,** Mid Brad-
field. “I am sure that Indi-
viduals and congregations
throughout the country will
v^ant to assist them.
“No more used clothing can
be used,’* urged Bradfield. The
immediate need is for cash
which the elders will use
where it is needed moat in
contact the Nance Church of
Christ, in care of James Hunt,
eider. Alamo, Tenn. The other
elders are Freddy Strange and
Dorsey Smith. Smith's house
was completely destroyed.

These areas — a total of oyer I

There are probably many oth-

“We are overjoyed that now.
at last, people in over 50 na-

“This is a major step toward

The elders emphasized that
the importance of short wave
broadcasts should not be mini-

tively uncommon in American
homes, where a variety of ra-
dio station reception is avail-
able even on the most inexpen-
sive of sets.
However, in foreign nations,
especially those in which com-
munications systems are na-
tionattsed, the short wave set
takes on a greater importance, 1
Highland elders point out. For-
eign short wave set owners de-
pend on them to get unbiased
news, free of nationalist propa-
ganda.
In addition, foreign short
