pray for the Kingdom in Ireland,

Brother Ellis McGaughey sail-
ed September 24 from England to
return to his work with the Four-
teenth Street Church of Christ in
Washington, D. C. He spoke at
the annual British lectureship in
London Just prfSr to leaving. He
spoke three times at the Hlndley
Church and once at the Albert
Street Church in Wigan. The fact
that the British brethren invited
Brother McGaughey to speak on
these Important occasions is an
evidence of their confidence in
him.
To those who think that great
visible results are only possible in
certain sections of this country
the wonderful response of 73 bap-
tisms and 13 restorations tn the
gospel meeting in Belfast, Ireland
is an inspiring answer. If Brother
McGaughey’s trip had not re-,
suited in any other fruit, and
there was much Other fruit ap-

that someone should visit these (
brethren. In June of this year (
Brother. L. E. O’Neal and son, of
Zamboanga, Mindanao, spent a ‘
week with them. Their report was ,
very encouraging, and pointed to ,
the need of sending someone to
visit them.
Brother Everett W. Evans, their
local minister, told them he would I
like to go for a limited period. |
