** Akron, OH: "Some of the younger brethren of this Assembly are much interested in openings nearby for the Gospel - an old building has been rented on S. Main St., in a rather poor neighborhood - they also are trying open air work etc., This is good exercise and does not weaken the Assembly as they continue at their daily toil. This greatly appeals to us as an antitode to assembly to assembly preaching.
** Reader, [[West Virginia|W. Va.]]: Bro. D. Calderhead was trying this place again with the Gospel - one of the young brethren from Akron hoped to help a little while on his vacation. Persistent, godly work in a definite locality is God's way rather than spasmodic efforts which seldom accomplish much for God."
