Accomplishments We Can Observe
The eighteen months work may
be summed up in a few words.
Starting in a small rented room in
the south part of town, with a
number of six or seven, we now
number eighteen, occupy our own
spacious, well heated and venti-
lated buildings located on a lot
60x60 feet. The purchase of this
property was made possible by
generous donations from various
individual Christians, and congre-
gations. All of which have been
duly noted, and acknowledged
through this paper and others.
Out of the numbers added to
the membership, two have been
baptisms. Admittedly, this looks
very small, but every thing else
being equal 1 suppose it must be
about average. During the ten
days meeting just closed, we had
twelve visiting “outsiders.* Another
few months with these should, at
least, see half of them tumea Into

Each time he was supportea by
the Central church in Portland.
We are grateful indeed for the
good help of these brethren in
Portland.
Brother Driver's work was of the
best. His preaching and teaching
was appreciated to the fullest by
this congregation. We all look
forward to the time when we may

The 81-
sndw cold under current of these
waters passed over the brow of
this now beloved babe in Christ,
the audience on the rocky shoals,
and the two in the water, bowed
in humble prayer of thanksgiving,
and gratitude to Him from whom
all blessings flow. This act was the
result of months of concentrated
effort upon the part of this con-
gregation. This statement does
not diminish in any wise, the
good, and impressive work of two
fine brethren who have assisted
us in meetings. Brother I. E. Wil-
kerson and Brother Frank Driver.
Brother Driver closed with the
night service,' Sunday, October 13,
a ten days meeting for the church
here. This was an exchange for
work in June with the brethren in
Wallace. Ore. This meeting was
the third for Pendleton in the year
and a half that we have been here.
The first was with Brother Wil-
kerson, then of Centra: In Port-
land, now located with the breth-
ren in Tamcoa, Washington. This
meeting was in October of last
year. The second one also found

Central America. He sees the
peoples south of the United States
as a greatly neglected group—
many of them heathens— almost
entirely without the true light of
Christ’s will.
But in his own way and with
the help of those who have been
converted. 11,405 services have
been held in Cuba; 385,i id have
heard the gospel preached; 1,217
have been baptized, and efforts
have been made to plant the gos-
pel in 120 places.
Native workers are carrying a
heavy part of the load, but Broth-
er Jimenez says most of them are
poor and they need help. The
crying need of the moment Is a
building in Havana to house the
goodly sized congregation now
meeting In a private home.
Sponsoring Brother Jimenez’s
trip through the northern and cen-
tral states where ne has presented
the Cuban problem before congre-
gations is the Central church of
Christ of Miami, Florida.
Donations for this purpose will
be sincerely appreciated, and if
you wish to contribute your offer-
ing to the building committee of
the sponsoring church It will be
promptly acknowledged.
