The Mt. Hermon Missionary Bap-
fist Church, under the leadership
of its present pastor, has grown
rapidly.
The pastor accepted the church
with a rundown and scattered
membership and dilapidated
building. After searching care
fully he was only able to find
thirty seven names on the roll and
approximately two-thirds of the
named persons in the city. But
through Divine guidance and Hea-
venly visions the Holy Spirit led
him and his few followers to the
present success with a membership
of 131.
They have been able to pay off
an old mortgage, renovate the
church, buy the lot on which it
now stands, buy. new pews and a
piano, pay all the indebtedness and
burn all mortgages.
He accredits his success first to
God and then to the following per-
sons who have worked with him
untiringly: Deacon T. s. Osby,

reception days, and troop-move-
ment days to cali their mothers,

Operators who place the calls
for service men are keen1y aware
of the problem. An operator in
Pennsylvania said, "Here at the
naval hospital some of the men
haven't enough strength to stay on
the phone more than a few min
utes, and it makes US sick when
we can't get their calls through"
One sailor, who waited three
hours for a connection just to hear
his new son cry, was so excited
when he finally put the call through
that he had the operator listen, too.
Here are some ways to clear the
lines for service men and inpor-
