Two years ago we were called to May to conduct a meeting. We found five loyalmembers there. By their help and the assistance of Mabel and Dora Cripe, as singers, andthe work of the Holy Spirit in these revivals, the congregation has grown to who do not live there at present hold their membership there. All these have beenbaptized in the three meetings excepting two, who moved from Indian Creek congrega-tion. There are now in Union Center congregation about fifty-two members, and forty-one belong at or near May. The members are now working toward a churchhouse sixor seven miles from May. They need a minister and some deacons. Your help will beappreciated here. Will you come? The accompanying photo shows thirty-one membersand some of their small children. All those but six have come into the church duringthe last two years. Others are interested. Cordell, Okl
