Forty Two Churches
Planning Crusade
Forty two churches in Enon As-
sociation are now in process of
getting set for the greatest Re-
vival Crusade ever launched in
Cass County. The Pastors Steer-!
ing Committee, Workers Confer-'
ence, Sunday school, Training Un-
ion, Women, and Brotherhood or-
ganizations are already pledged
to give whole hearted support to ■
this gigantic effort. Many church- j
es have already voted to go in and j
have secured evangelists. All are J
being besought by the leaders of I
the movement to get in the inter- j
est of this united effort. All j
churches will be benefitted, but [
those that join in will naturally re j
ceive the greatest blessing.
Seven thousand Baptist can j
make the entire population of Cass!
County Revival and Christ con- j
scious. With the slogan, "Christ
Is The Answer," it is proposed to
use every possible means of publi- |
city and proclamation of the j
Gospel, to set the County ablaze |
with Revival fires that will restore
the joy of salvation to the people
of God and bring a multitude of
non-Christians into the Kingdom of
God.
The following Pastors were in
attendance upon a two day meet-
ing in Dallas last week, attended
by some six thousand other Bap-
tists: Dean Elkins, J. M. Gardner
Paul Hunt, Ocie Smith, Clifton
Smith, J. B. Huffmaster, Jimmy
Burton, Hoyt Lemmon, Harry Fisk
| A. Ls Taylor and L. L. Burkhalter
Many other Pastors who planned
to attend were providentially hind
ered. Such preaching and singing
Texas Baptists had never heard
before.
The date for the Campaign in
Enon Association is, March 16-30.
Let all Baptists meet the condition
set out in II Chronicles 7:14. Your
church will suffer loss if it fails
to get into this Crusade. If any
church fails to arrange a meeting
its members in large numbers will
countless attend one nearby. Don't
be surprised if they unite with a
church nearby. In Christ's name
and for Christ's sake do not allow
them to be so tempted. Come thou
with us and let us do each other
good.
While we have no desire to bring
pressure to bear on other Chris-
tian groups, nothing would bring
us greater pleasure than to see
them set Revivals for this same
date.

Lions Enjoy
Oyster Supper
The Lions club was entertained
by Lion Abe Mays at his club
house on Caddo lake last Tuesday
night. Lion Mays made the boast
at a recent meeting that he could
feed oysters to the club until they
hollered "Enough." He carried out
his promise but it was somewhat
of a "hollow" victory for Abe, in-
asmuch as it required an immense J
quantity of oysters. Several visi-
tors were present including Guy
Stanley, the magician, who put on
a magic show Wednesday night at
the school house sponsored by the
Lions club.
The club wishes to thank Lion
Mays for his genial hospitality.
