** LOI 1966-8: Howard Forbes (Arvida, [[Quebec]]): "Samuel Coppieters and the Christians at Granby were encouraged recently by the baptism of a woman. She had been interested in the Gospel for some time; confined to bed for two or three days, she read Billy Graham's book ''Peace with God'' in French (La Paix Avec Dieu) and received assurance of her salvation. For a week I visited the Christians in Temiscouata county east of Riviere-du-Loup, at Edmunston in [[New Brunswick]], and had a long conversation with a French speaking woman at Madawaska in the state of Maine with John Clark. Most of these Christians have been saved by the visits of Mr. Clark, but they are scattered and there is no assembly..."

This does not include foreign circulation. Comments, criticisms, suggestions, etc., from those who could not write during the seasons of holiday preparation are received with thankful appreciation.*** LOI Circulation: Maine: 18*** Survey Response by 12/31/64: Maine: 5 (reached or surpassed forecast)** Letters of Interest 1966:6-7: "While doing visitation in Maine, Everett Batchelder and Paul Shaw talked with people who are seeking truth, and with believers who are very interested in knowing more about the way the assemblies meet. Among the latter were a good number of young people."** Letters of Interest 1966-12: '''Isolated Christians, Maine, Grateful for Help''': "Arthur Dewhurst of North Reading, [[Massachusetts|Mass.]], spent two nights giving help to isolated Christians in Maine. Expressions of thankfulness encourage him to continue such labor. He had four studies with a group of believers in northern Maine who are receptive to Scriptural teaching, using the Egypt to Canaan chart, and visitation afforded further opportunity to speak of scriptural truths. One of the persons who was reached for Christ at the [[New Hampshire]] fair was a young student, confused after his first year of studies. He professed faith in Christ on the last day of the fair, and has since witnessed confidently to unsaved friends and given answers from the Scripture to Christians suffering doubts. Mr. Dewhurst reported that the BAHAI cult is active at the fairs and the workers occasionally have to contend with it. He requested prayer as they follow through on some of the contacts made at fairs."
