each year.
In this connection let us
say there are twenty-one
eligible churches which
should be competing each
year - and We believe if you
will start working on this
program you will find it a
great blessing for your
church and your community,
to say nothing of the per-
sonal satisfaction you will
receive.
In the five years since the
program began in 1857 first
places have been taken by
Acona for 1888; Harland's
Creek for 1958-59; Acona a
gain for 1959-60; Horseshoe
Baptist, 1960-61; and Acona
for the third time in 1961-62.
Acona has placed every year
except one since the program
began. Oregon, which won
second place this year, has
previously won a third place.
Next year We hope we will
have at least twelve of the
q eligible churches compel
ing.

The Reverend Roy Raddin
told the people at Oregon
Sunday about Elisha who
prayed for God to open mans
eyes so that he might see. If
all of the rural churches of
Holmes County would open
their eyes to what they could
do in this rural church pro-
gram, We are sure they
would be amazed at the good
that would result for them
and their communities. The
eyes of a lot of people
throughout the county would
also be opened and the en-
tire area would benefit as a
