Preaching Gospel in Germany Not
Hindered by Lack of Audiences
Brethren all the way from Can-
ada to Texas agree that the great-
est difficulty in holding a gospel
meeting is getting a crowd to as-
semble. Thanks be to God this
is one problem that does not have
to be faced here in Germany.
On September 1, 1952, Brother
Jack Nadeau who began preach-
ing to the Germans in Augsburg,,
writes:
Two weeks before this date the
tent was erected, arrangements
were Tnade with the printer to
print hand bills and an advertis-
ing company was persuaded to

23 Baptized in
Borger Meeting 4
BY M. NOBVEL YOUNG
Sunday night the gospel meet- '
ig held at Second and Deahl-------
Church of Christ in Borger,
Texas, closed. There were 33 re-
sponses to the invitation that
night and 25 that morning. There
were 97 responses in all—74 of
them coming to be restored and
about 23 to be baptized.
Most of those restored had
ceased attending the services. The
others came to identify them-
selves as faithful Christans and
place membership with this good
church. It was a thrill to work
with this church and its elders
and deacons and minister, Bro-
ther Ernest McCoy, in this gos-

of course was more serious, but
due to verbal agreements be-
tween Brother Petrini and sev-
eral officers in the police, it was
not necessary to make applica-
tion for permission the night that
the alleged misdemeanor took
place.
Owing to the fact that Mr.
Rosapepe wanted to interrogate
the chief of police and several
others who were not present, the
judge decided to set another hear-
j ing at which time all could be
present. Mr. Rosapepe pointed
