three weeks in the month, the
Eastern Oklahoma readers will
receive the usual 8-page Inter-
national Edition.
This once-a-month bonus of 12
pages costs the subscriber no
more than the ordinary sub-
scription to the International
Edition. It to designed as a spe-
cial service to a particular area,
and it has established a rec-
ord of service in the follow-
ing ways:
• R draws area congregations
closer together. Brethren be-
come more aware of what oth-
ers in the area are doing, and
as a result they are inspired
to greater work and service.
• Communication between
brethren to improved. This to
very close to the idea present-
ed above. The regional edition
is a great media for the free
exchange of news and ideas.
• Contributions and attendance
increase. It has often been
the experience where other re-
gional editions 'are now distrib-
uted that congregations tend
to grow and contributions tend
to rise where each member of
the church is reading the Chris-
tian Chronicle weekly.
These are Just some of the
ways in which the regional edi-
tions of the Christian Chronicle
have proved to be a service
to Christians.

Building Programs Reflect
fastern^Oklahoma Progress
TULSA—In recent months and years, many of the
congregations in the Eastern Oklahoma region have in-
troduced building programs. Some of these groups al-
ready have buildings, some are on their way up and
others are still in the planning stage.
The following list shows the extent of this phase
of church growth:

IMS Subs Needed
These services — and others
-----can be made available
in Eastern Oklahoma when 1,500
subscriptions have been guaran-
teed in the area. It takes Oils
number, at least, for the re-
gional edition to be financially
possible.
There are several ways these
subscriptions can be raised, but
the one that has been the most
effective and quickest in other
regions to the congregational
subscription plan.
Under this plan, each family
of a congregation gets the Chris-
tian Chronicle mailed directly
into its home for only 17 cents
a month. This amounts to $2.04
a year, or only slightly more
than one-half the $4 for a one-
year individual sub.
Each month the church of-
fice is billed for the whole con-
gregation. Thus, if there were
Madison Members
Open Visitation
MADISON, Tenn — The most
far-reaching visitation prorgam
in the history of the Madison
Church of Christ was launched

The program, designated as
"Operation Go”, was kicked
off with a 6:30 p.m. dinner
meeting, on Monday, April 27.

including the elders and deacons
of the congregation, broke up
into teams of husband and wife
or boy and girl friend to visit
persons in the area.

preacher, said the program to
based on five pointe:
“ 1. Visitation of persons attend-
lai Swartav School the » ri e rthe

Interest In beginning such a
youth camp for eastern Okla-
homa began first in 1968. In
August of that year, 145 camp-
ers were enrolled at state-
owned facilities on Lake Green-
leaf. Campers from age 10
through high school have been
accepted since that time.
