DOWN HOME with CARL

 

I was forced to cancel all of my work through the latter part of June and July due to Nell’s serious illness caused by a deep viral infection localized at the base of the brain. After being in bed for three weeks she began the slow road to recovery . . . I am pleased to announce that we shall engage in a Fellowship Forum at Sunset Ridge Church of Christ, 2367 Brees Boulevard, San Antonio, Texas 78209, January 12-14. I will be speaking each night on the theme of unity and brotherhood, and it is planned that we shall have a daytime open forum on Thursday and Friday mornings. The meetings are intended to involve not only representatives of all segments of the restoration movement but others who are concerned with this important subject . . . If you would like a free copy of my booklet on baptism in which I deal with baptism for the remission of sins and point out that there are nine designs of baptism, please feel free to ask for it. We will also be glad to send you a copy of my booklet “Equipping the Saints” without obligation except your sending in your request . . . Nell mailed out the 303rd free copy of my book The Parable of Telstar and Other Talks to a student at Abilene Christian College on July 20. The book will be sent free to any college or university student in the world who requests it. The supply is becoming limited . . . I would like to remind you that we still have copies of One in Christ, the bound volume of Mission Messenger for its final year. The cost of this 192 page clothbound volume is $3.50. You will want to share its messages with your friends . . . October 6-8 I am scheduled to be at Sunnyside Christian Church, 3625 East Marion Drive, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80909, in a series of studies on the Holy Spirit . . . October 20-22 I will be at Center Christian Church, Mays, Indiana 46155. The mailing address is Box 125 . . . November 3-5 I will be at Cambridge City, Indiana; and November 17-19 at West Liberty, West Virginia. . . December 6-10 I am scheduled with Hidden Valley Christian Church at Escondido, California . . . I would like to suggest that you send for a sample copy of the paper Unleavened Bread, published at 2884 Victoria Drive, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501 … It has been decided that the Saint Louis Forum (formerly the Hartford Forum) held annually between Christmas and New Year’s Day, will be devoted to the theme “The Renewal of the Church.” It is intended that the discussions will be practical and forthright, so that those who attend can derive genuine spiritual help from the sessions. Speakers will be drawn from various segments of the restoration background. More information will be forthcoming. —W. Carl Ketcherside 139 Signal Hill Dr. , St. Louis, Mo.,63121
