There had been no church home for the growing congregation, and in 1931 the church began a building program supervised by Mr. Price. Construction began in the fall of 1931 and a small church was ready for use the following year. The church on Oak Street at Com- monwealth Avenue was used for 27 years and finally was sold. Funds from the sale of the church added greatly toward the building of the new church on Russell Road. Ground was broken for the new church on February 25, 1962. During this time Elder Edwin E. Christian was the pastor. In July, 1963, the congregation met for the first time in the new structure. Elder Garnet F.

DEDICATION services have been held for the Alexandria, Va., Church with Elder Ralph S. Watts, Vice- President of the General Conference, as the guest speaker. Elder Watts spoke during the aft- ernoon program when the sanctuary was dedicated formally. His topic was "The Church of the Living God." The pastor, Elder Garnet F.

13 People are asking and in case you were wondering what Worthington 209 is, let us tell you first what Worthington 209 is not. Worthington 209 is not an imitation tuna fish, veal, or any other meat food. Worthington 209 is a savory new food, high in protein and free from cholesterol. A delicious vegetable protein food, "209" stands on its own feet as a new food. While others guess what meat "209" simulates, why don't you be discriminating. Serve Worthington 209 slices because they taste good and because they are good.

Recently the Tranquility and Franklin Churches participated in the Sussex County Fair in Branchville, N. J. Through the efforts of both churches, 10,000 pieces of literature were dis- tributed to those who visited this booth. Also, 175 people were enrolled in the Faith for Today Bible Correspondence Course and 30 people were enrolled in "The Bible Speaks" program. The success of this soul-winning proj- ect was due to the faithful participation of our church members. Both churches consider this project one of the greatest means of bringing people to Christ. We look forward to seeing many of these individuals in the kingdom be- cause of this effort.—Walter E.

Smoking Sam was the center of interest and the demon- strations given proved to be successful in caus- ing smokers to take a look at facts and the results. For years Salem has taken advantage of the annual county fair in witnessing for the truth.

NEARLY all of our readers are prob- ably concerned in some way or other with selecting good reading material for children. Those of you who work with children, as teachers, parents, or Sabbath School leaders, must con- stantly meet the challenge of provid- ing them with interesting, character- building books. May Hill Arbuthnot, one of the country's leading authorities on chil- dren's literature, has stated seven basic human needs which can be satisfied through reading. We should like to discuss three of these needs this month and suggest some books in each area which you may want to add to your library.
