A few week ago we launched a
campaign for 1000 new subscriptions
for the Weekly Echo. We are happy
to state that at this early start in
the campaign We are making splendid
progress. A large number of our
presidents have sent in from one
to five subscribers, some for six
months and some for a year.
1t is remarkable when we think Of
the loyalty on the part of some Of
our local presidents. It has taken
years and years of training in order
that the presidents and members
might see the necessity of working
together comparatively.

My Trip To The
Sunn, " est
By Rev. Mrs. L. B. Williams

For many years Ihave read Of the
worlds greatest woman evangelist Ct
Los Angeles, California, one who was
caring for so many poor people and
one who baptized large group in
the Pacific Ocean and l read of her
trip abroad, then, read of how
people would sue her and do every
thing to mar hr wonderful works and
try to stop her PROCESS; to work for
the Master, then my mindwould run
back to the four gospels written by
the Acts of the Apostle, then I could
see why the people wanted 10 stop
her wonderful works, instead of her
stopping, she just kept on travelling
along. On Palm Sunday evening we
drove over for service on through
Beverly Hill and on into HOLLYWOOD
an ddown long avenue, I beheld a
large building, the largest 1 have ever
seen, decorated with palms all around
the building. We entered the spacious
hall, with glass doors all around the
building and Offices for tie different
parts of the church would read thus
Help for the poor, another For
membership another For member

struction" another Pastors office
