This and That

[Page 190]

     Our June issue dealing with baptism, and especially with the amount of knowledge required to establish the validity of baptism, and containing the nine designs of baptism, is now in an attractive booklet. We will send you a copy free upon request.... I will be with the brethren at Rossville, Illinois, December 5-7. For information contact Richard L. Youkey, 600 North Chicago Street, Rossville, Illinois 60963.... I will be teaching at the youth study at Dunn Road Chapel, St. Louis, December 29-31, and will leave for Brazil immediately following, where I will be with brethren from Churches of Christ and Christian Churches in their annual conference.... If you have ever felt an inclination to write for publication, I urge you to attend the Christian Writer's Clinic, sponsored by Standard Publishing, at Holiday Inn North, Cincinnati, Ohio, January 31-February 2. I will be speaking as well as conducting a workshop. For program and information address Jay Sheffield, 8121 Hamilton Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio 45231. I hope you will attend.... It will be my good fortune to be in encounters on the campus of Indiana University, Bloomington, February 21, 22.... One of the most promising meetings coming up is the one to be held at Northside Christian Church, 733 Country Club Drive, Xenia, Ohio, April 3-5. There will be both evening and day sessions, and it is expected that there will be capacity crowds. You can write Isaac J. Flora, 985 Hamlet Drive, Xenia, Ohio 45385.... We had a full auditorium for the night gatherings at New Hope Christian Church, Columbus, Indiana, where Matt Malott is doing a great work.... At Fairborn, Ohio, the auditorium was filled and extra chairs placed in the aisle. The average attendance at the morning question forums was 60, with people present from five states. Ben Holtrey is carrying on the work with vision and understanding.... If you would like to secure cassettes of my speeches on Facing Up to a Pagan Culture; What About Astrology and the Occult?; and The Qualifications and Functions of Elders and Deacons, they will be sent to you bv first class postage if you will write to Follow the Son, Box K, Springboro, Ohio 45066. The cost is $4.50 each for a one hour session.... We would like to mention a few books which we have that will soon be out of print and unobtainable. They are: History of the Church, by Robert Brumback, $5.00; Complete Works of Flavius Josephus, $4.00; Synonyms of the Old Testament, by Girdlestone, $2.50; Synonyms of the New Testament, by Trench, $2.50. Do not send money. Just tell us which books you want and if they are still here, we will send them with an invoice. You must hurry.... Raccoon John Smith, The Divine Purpose, and The Royal Priesthood are all gone. The 398th copy of the last was sent to Fred Swain, George Fox College, Newberg, Oregon. It was the 1100th free book sent to college and university students in the past few years. The good work continues. We will send a free copy of "Thoughts on Unity" to any college student on earth who personally requests it. There is no obligation of any kind except to send the request, give mailing address and identify the school where you are enrolled.... If you are looking for a real gift for someone, we urge you to think of Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words, which is $13.95; or the full seventeen volume set of Barclay's Studies in the New Testament, which is $47.50. There is also "The Living Bible" which is $9.95. Don't forget "First Steps" for little children at 95c each.
