The Wednesday night Bible study
meetings are proving very interest
ing, indeed. One OF the deacons who
has been here for ten of twelve
years, said 1t was the largest crowd
he ever saw at regular midweek
prayer meeting. There Is nothing
more interesting today than the study
of the Old Book in the right way.
People will come to the right kind Of
Bible study meetings. All over the
country crowds are flocking tc sim
liar meetings. The time is here when
the Wednesday evening Bible hours
will be as largely attended as any
other services in the church. There
were three additions to the church
for baptism Wednesday evening. This
is unusual but should be a regular
thing at every service of the church.
This is what the workers at the First
Baptist church plan, hope, and pray
for.
