We have been greatly helped in getting the paper out lately by Ted and
Pearle Ratliff and Helen Spence. The latter is Nell's sister. We deeply appreciate their
assistance.... If you would like to have my exposition of the book of Jonah at a Sunday evening
meeting at Oak Hill Chapel, simply send a check for $2.25 to Vernon H. Woods, 2413 Dale

On March 16 Nell mailed out the 277th free copy of the book Thoughts on Unity to
Larry D. Young, a graduate student at Harvard University. This book is mailed free to any
college or university student who personally requests it and furnishes mailing address and
mentions the college where enrolled. It is a book which will become a collector's item and if you
are not in college you can purchase one for $3.95. It is worth much more than that.... You are
reminded that you can secure free copies of my booklet on Baptism, which deals with
the question of "Baptist baptism" and specifies the nine designs of baptism contained in the new
covenant scriptures. Ask for the ones you will actually use or pass out and we will mail them to
you with our love.... I hope that you read Home to Hidden Valley, the condensed book in

The last issue of Facts for Faith edited by Gordon Wilson, 6939 Weber Road, Saint
Louis, Missouri 63123, was a great one. This is the kind of thing which college and university
