Another Lay-preacher Started
BROTHER Fred S. Kalar, of the
Houston church, haz secured a lay-
man's stereopticon, and writes, “I like
everything fine, and belive that I have
a nice interest started. Pray for me
and all of us here.”
Those of us who are not yet bearing
witness as we should, and as the
prophecy states we must, at least let
us pray for those of our laymen who
are doing this work.
HENRY F. Brown.
Who Should do Lay-preaching?
TOO often we find that those who
should represent the message in 8
public way hang back and have to be
urged to give it. And many times
persons unfitted to do so, and who do
not enjoy the best of reputations, urge
themselves forward. Charles Wesley
expressed it thus:
“How ready is the man to go
Whom God hath never sent!
How timorous, diffident, and slow
God's chosen instrument!”
This is the type of members who
should be chosen to go:
“Brethren who have the truth in
their hearts, and who have exerted a
good influence at home, should feel
that a responsibility rests upon them
tu devote a part of their time to going
out among their neighbors and into
adjoining towns to be missionaries
for God.” Sowing Beside All Waters,

Another County Entered
DURING the summer of 1031, G.
W. Walpole and I canvassed in New-
ton County, Arkansas. That was the
first time there was any record of
Newton County's being canvassed with
our literature. There were no Ad-
ventists living in the county, so I
determined that if the Lord was will-
ing I would make my home here and
work as much as I eould for these
mountain people. Two years later my
wife and I moved up here. We have
not had as much time to spend in mis-
sionary work as we would like to have,
as we are farming for our living. But
we have scattered literature, and
when W. 8S. Gurley canvassed the
territory last vear an interest sprang
H. M.
SOUTHWESTERN UNION RECORD
up. He sold a book to a man, who with
his family accepted the Sabbath. Sev-
eral more are interested and some
are keeping the Sabbath. Quite an
interest has sprung up
At the beginning of this year we
organized a Sabbath school, and start-
ed to hold Bible studies. The interest
has continued to grow, and now there
are eighteen members in the Sabbath
school, with wood prospects for more,
Besides this, studies are being given
at Copper's Bluff, Several more
places would accept studies had we the
time. We walk the three miles to Cop-
per's Bluif Sabbath morning, up and
down the mountain, then Sunday
afternoon about five o'clock we start
again for the second Bible study two
miles from home. Our hearts are re-
jeiced to know that we have some part
in giving this message to some of the
unentered counties of Arkansas.

M. V. District Convention
I AM putting this in the REcorp
early, so that our societies in the Lit-
tle Rock district and the isolated
young people may have plenty of time
to plan to be present. This district
includes Searcy, Bennerdale, Hot
Springs, Tyron City, Malvern, Congo,
and all isolated young people within
one hundred miles of Little Rock.
We plan to begin Sabbath morning.
The Sabbath school will be held at
9:30, and we will take up our conven-
tion work at the eleven o'clock hour
and through the afternoon. If the
evening is pretty we are planning on
an outdoor social.
Do not forget the date, Moy A.
The M. V. leaders and officers will
be notified as to the parts they are to
bring for the convention.

Baptism at Hope
SABBATH, April 6, was a day of
rejoicing for the church at Hope, when
cight young people were buried with
their Lord in baptism in a little pool
near the church. This has been the
result of a recent week-end meeting
by the writer, and some faithful work
by the teacher of the church school
throughout the year. We are glad to
