Hartford Meetings

[Page 14]

     Two meetings of special interest to the fellowship of the concerned ones will be held at Hartford, Illinois, before the close of the year. On November 10, Seth Wilson and W. Carl Ketcherside will meet in an all day forum on the question, "Who Is My Brother?" Bro. Wilson, who is Dean of Ozark Bible College, Joplin, Missouri, will speak for one hour starting at 9:30 a. m., and will be followed by Bro. Ketcherside for an equal period of time. Following a luncheon served by the ladies of the congregation, the two speakers will answer questions from the audience, for two hours, starting at 1:00 p. m.

     A two day study in depth on fellowship and related questions will be conducted December 27, 28. Meetings will be held on Thursday afternoon and night and three times on Friday. Six speakers will participate as follows: Russell Boatman, Dean of St. Louis Christian College, will speak on "The Sin of Division"; Harold Shasteen, Shelbyville, Illinois, on "The Inevitability of Unity"; Leroy Garrett, Denton, Texas, on "Who is a Heretic?"; Harold Key, St. Louis, Missouri, on "The Threat of Legalism"; Grayson Ensign, President of Central Christian College, Moberly, Missouri, on "The Basis for Unity"; and W. Carl Ketcherside, on "Factors Contributing to Disunity."

     The Friday afternoon meeting will permit the audience to question all of the speakers; the Friday night meeting will present all of them for ten minutes each on a summarization program entitled, "The Future of the Restoration Movement." The Hartford congregation will undertake to provide housing for those who wish to come and some meals will be served by the sisters of the church. For a complete prugram of proceedings and to arrange reservations, write at once to Berdell Mccann, Hartford, Illinois. The meetings are open to persons of all religious affiliation and it is hoped they will make a genuine contribution to the unity of all true followers of the Lord Jesus Christ.
