SHILOH PROGRESS
The Shiloh Pulpit was ably
filled by Rev. William Connors
of Montana last week during the
absence of Rev. Oscar Phillips
who was i'll, causing the post
ponement of Communion Ser
vices, which win be held this
Sunday, instead. Rev. Connors
will leave for further church
work in Vermont. But Newton
Theological which has proven a
blessing in many ways, is send
ing Shiloh three more volunteer
workers, Mr.. and Mrs. Horace
Seldom and Mr.. Jack Clark. At
time when trained volunteer
workers are needed everywhere,
Shiloh has had unquestionable
fortune. Moreover, Shiloh con-
tinues to extend open invitation
of membership or service to
everyone, regardless of position
or race. This democratic policy
has proven a good one, May it
always continue. More and more,
our local people are being in
vited to visit and join in activi-
ties with other communities. A
Shiloh delegation was present at
Peoples Baptist church, Boston,
last Sunday evening at the
Young Adult Fellowship Night
service with the Rev. William
Reeves, Gloucester Memorial
Pastor, delivering a most stirring
sermon on Developing Chris
tians and Young Adults" The
Peoples Baptist church Pastor,
Rev. Richard NJ. Owens, provid-
ed welcome remarks, and a
beautiful solo was sung by Miss
Phyllis Tavada, vice president
and song-leader Of the Y.A.F.
