Gordon Clubb who is doubt - Church in Mission" was commenced by the Rev. Keith Brown. Three things are necessary if we are to meet the challenge of Jesus to love one another as He has loved us. First, New communities of Faith need to be developed. Second - Existing Com- munities of Faith need to be revitalized with new pro- grams and personalities who can give the community a renewed sense of Christiani- ty. Third - Those who have vital churches need to accept the responsibility to help and love others in the struggling Christian communities • We have a great opportuni- ty to witness for Christ by our self -growing and self -giving in care and responsibility to others.

Back from vacation, Rev. C. J. Williams announced that again this year the conference will support Christianview Bi- ble College at the Feast of in - gathering October 15, when donations of food and money are brought. Rev. Williams spoke from Luke 1 1:29-31, and Jonah 3:1-3. Jonah is a message of hope, judgement, and comfort. God was interested in getting Jonah's obedience and in the sours of those in Nineveh. As God's word came to Jonah, His word often comes to ms. But Jonah ran away from God. So do we, from fear, and ignorance. If we flee from do- ing what God says to do, we are disqualifying the power of God's word. After three days in the fish Jonah repented of his disobe- dience of not paying his vows to God. Sunday evening Rev. C. J. Williams ministered from 2 Chronicles 29:1-6; 18:18,31 and 2 Corinthians 4:1-3.
