DOWN HOME with CARL

 

The meetings with Northside Chruch of Christ in Xenia, Ohio were interesting and helpful to me. They provided an opportunity for brethren to cross over lines and share together, and despite the wide divergency in opinions of those who attended there was not an untoward moment … The meeting with the saints at New Hope Christian Church, at Roanoke, Virginia was especially intriguing because of the study we did on mutual ministry and the priesthood of all believers. Russell N. Hall had already been teaching along this line … July 23-27 will find me teaching at the Family Camp near Outlook, Saskatchewan, where I have been many times. This is a primitive camp where the brethren pitch tents in the woods or live in mobile campers. One of the most interesting features is the campfire discussion at night and the early devotional shared by shivering individuals who have reluctantly slid out of warm sleeping bags to stand around the fire and sing praises unto God and share in inspirational talk … August 6,7 I am slated to address a Men’s Clinic in Bluefield, West Virginia … August 18-20 I will be with the congregation at Burnside, Illinois, God willing… September 3-6 I am to be at Featherstone Christian Camp near Lakeside, California … September 15-17 I will be at Springs Valley Church of Christ, near French Lick, Indiana; and September 29-0ctober 1 at Austin, Minnesota … Nell and I would like to send a free copy of my book The Parable of Telstar and Other Talks to any college or university student who writes us at the address below. Please mention the school where you are enrolled … Those of you who are interested in what I said at Belmont Avenue in Nashville, can get a complete set of cassettes including the morning question forums by sending $12.50 to Koinonia Book store, 1000 Sixteenth Avenue South, Nashville, Tennessee 37212. It’s a bargain. — W. Carl Ketcherside, 139 Signal Drive, Saint Louis, Missouri 63121.
