* LOI 1949-7:
** H.G. Mackay: "I am preaching the gospel and having ministry meetings in four assemblies each week during this month, so it keeps me on the move. It is a wonderful pleasure and privilege to minister to the many hungry converts in Durham where the Lord has done remarkable things. The Sunday School alone has increased from about 300 to over 600 in a 12 month period; half of these are adults. Many have been wondrously saved and are hungry for the Word. Then I have a rather interesting class of colored preachers in Winston-Salem each Monday night and am giving them studies on the church. We would like to see colored assemblies raised up in the Piedmont and this may be the beginning. I baptized six recently in Greensboro and am also having ministry meetings in Raleigh."
** [[King's College in New York (The King's College)|The King's College]], Newcastle, Delaware: [[William Jelley III]]:"At 10 a.m. each Lord's Day, members of the faculty and student body of this school who are from various assemblies meet to remember the Lord in one of the classrooms, one hour before the preaching service in the college chapel. Attendance varies from 10 to 33, depending on the number of students remaining on the campus. In fellowship are young people from assemblies in: St. Louis, MO; Philadelphia, Curley Hills, PA; Elizabeth, NJ; Staten Island, NY; Greensboro, NC and Florida. Some believers from the neighborhood also come. The meetings started at the beginning of the school year last September. A hearty welcome is extended to any of the Lord's people who are in the vicinity on the Lord's Day.
