EVANGELISTIC PLEA FOR RESTORATION CONTINUES The Gospel Services which have been in progress since April 17, are still being conducted each night, except Saturday, in the Old Theatre Building, Greensboro.

The Church of Christ, which is sponsoring this effort, is not connected with any religious body in this vicinity. While it. is a new group in these parts, it is not a new church. It is not its purpose to foeter any particular idea, or opinion of man, but to present the Will of God, as given to mankind through Christ, believing that a restoration of the early church in name, doctrine, worship and work is the only acceptable religious service that can be rendered to God. To do this, all creeds, disciples and confessions of faith made by man are discarded and the Bible religion of the New Testament Church is followed in all things.

For some, this may lack a drawing power because the services are not conducted in a sensational manner, but the Bible says that our service should be done decently and in order. This particular movement has not sprung up over night. While each congregation is independent, the tie of Christian fellowship and love binds them for they practice the same things. Churches of Christ are found throughout the country, and while they are all but unknown here, they are very strong and prominent in other localities. And it is not a purely American group, for churches are found throughout the English speaking countries and others as well.

The striking thing about this is that they were not started by the same individuals but are the result of taking the Bible and it alone, "Speaking where it speaks and keeping silent where it is The result has been on international brotherhood of disciples and, if American statistics are to be relied on, the Churches of Christ are one of the most rapidly growing religious groups in the world, for a plea such as theirs appeals to the intelligence of men. The present series is scheduled to continue through Sunday night, May 1 with three services on that day. Beginning with the Communion and preaching service at 10:30 a. two other Gospel services will follow-one at 2:30 p. m.

and the at 7:30 p. m. Evangelist Hastings, of Jersey City, N. who is conducting the meetings, has announced that during the afternoon service he will speak on the topic: "The Unity of All All arc invited to attend nny, or all, of the remaining services of the series.
