Church of Christ
Employs Preacher
For Local Pulpit

The Church of Christ has arranged
for the services of Elder w. W.
Brewer of Oklahoma City, for the
coming year. Elder Brewer will have
complete charge of the work and
will preach morning and evening Of
the second third. and fourth Sun
days of each month, conducting a
Bible study class on each Friday
evening prior to those Sundays II
was announced.
For the present the minister will
remain in Oklahoma City, coming to
Chickasha each week end for the
work as outlined, giving a congre-
CATION near there his services for
the first Sunday in each month. The
congregation here hopes to secure
his services for the entire time as
soon as it can be conveniently ar
ranged.
The Church of Christ here has
shown a wonderful growth. Having
been organized only a few years
ago in dwelling house, 1t has
grown in membership to where the
church can support a minister for
regular work.
1t is pointed out that this congre.
CATION has not asked the citizens
and business men of Chickasha for
any financial help towards church
building, however the officers say
that they will probably be compelled
to ask for financial help in order
to enlarge their church building.
Such is needed at this time, they say.
Elder Brewer will begin his work
tomorrow, peaching at II o'clock in
the morning and at 7 o'clock in the
evening.
