mountains; hospitality of resi-
dents; drive on the Turnpike. Rev.

lighted candles, giving their lives
to God. The layman program had
a human interest story Of one lay
man in the south who had sup
piled shoes to needy children for
the past five years. A challenge
to the Baptist laymen to set
definite goal was another high
light.
