It is now only four short weeks until time for the Thanksgiving Fellowship Meeting here at Landmark. We anticipate a record attendance this year, and pray that the Lord will use it to strengthen the lives of all who attend.
    Services will begin at 10:00 A.M. November 22 and continue until noon on the 23rd. If we have early arrivals, we will even hear a visiting speaker in our Wednesday evening service.
    Though no formal program has been prepared, it is hoped that we may hear from brethren: Leonard Garlington (La.); James Burks (Ca.); John Coleman (Ind.); James S. Mitchell (Colo.); Edward Byrd (Ark.) and Bob Melancen (Ill,) sometime during the meeting. None of these brethren have spoken at our last two meetings. It is hoped that we may also be able to hear from others.
    We anticipate having a goodly number of young people in attendance.

    True fellowship with God will inevitably bring war-fare with this present world-system.

    The CLARION HERALD is sent into several homes locally that are not directly associated with Landmark Church, but have manifested a desire to receive it. We are happy to be able to come into your homes in this manner, and trust that the paper is a blessing.
    We never encourage members of other churches to leave their own services to attend ours. However, we would be delighted to have you visit with us during the special services to be held at Landmark on Thanksgiving Day.
    In addition to this, we would be greatly pleased to have you participate in entertaining some of our out of town brethren who will be coming in for this Fellowship Meeting. If you have "sleeping space" where our guests could be more comfortable (than being crowded together into a very few homes), we would deeply appreciate your participation and Christian hospitality. Anyone desiring to assist in this may call me at New Milford 874-2265. THANK YOU! -- Eugene L. Garner

Beware the substitute of merely fellowshipping with one another about God!

    To step out of self-life into Christ-life; to lie still and let Him lift you out of yourself; to fold your hands close and hide your face upon the hem of His robe; to let Him lay His cooling, soothing, healing hands upon your soul, and draw all the hurry and fever from its veins; to realize you are NOT a mighty messenger, an important worker of His, full of care and responsibility, but only a little child, with a Father's gentle bidding to heed and fulfill; to lay your busy plans and ambition confidently in His hands, as the child brings its broken toys at its mother's call; to learn to follow Him and not run ahead of orders .... This is consecration and this is REST.
    Today Jesus invites every weary laborer to: "Come unto me....and I will GIVE you REST.!" Will YOU cast all your care upon Him, NOW?

    From time to time we attempt to provide a list of addresses that are most generally used by those receiving the CLARION HERALD. These brethren are all church sent, faith missionaries -- "recommended to the grace of God", and serving without any fixed or guaranteed income. In these perilous times it requires an unquestioning faith for a missionary to stay on the job under such circumstances. Let us faithfully support these brethren with our prayers and financial liberality.

Brethren: ELDWYN D. ROGERS, ROLAND ALLEN & CHARLES D. LOPER may all be reached at:

    Effective November 1, Brother Samuel D. Arnold, of Lexington, Kentucky, will assume the responsibility of "pastor" at the Corinth Missionary Baptist Church of Dry Prong, Louisiana.
    Both pastor and people are dearly loved by this editor. Thus, it is his sincere desire that they may "strive together" for the furtherance of the Gospel; that they may be "one" in heart, mind, and purpose; and that our heavenly Father may be pleased to richly bless them as they labor together --- making them fruitful in every good work, to His own eternal praise & glory.
    Bro. Arnold's going to Corinth leaves the Cave Hill MBC, of Lexington, without a pastor. It is our earnest prayer that God will provide for them a "shepherd" who will be able to lead them in paths of acceptable worship, praise and service.          -- Eugene Garner

    During the week of October 8-14 it was my privilege to be with Pastor James McCoy and the Antioch Missionary Baptist Church of Greencastle, Indiana in a revival effort. The Lord was pleased to give us a

good time of fellowship together in the Word, and the heart of one young man was moved to become identified with that body of saints. He was baptized following the service on Sunday morning.
    It was especially encouraging to have so many brethren visiting in those services from other churches. I think especially of several who came from the New Testament MBC in Indianapolis, the Cave Hill MBC of Lexington, Kentucky, and the Mt. Hebron MBC of Lancaster, Kentucky.
    May the Lord continue to bless all these brethren as they labor together for the glory of Christ!
    Thanks to brethren Melancen and Nunally who conducted the services at Landmark in my absence.         E.G.

    Surely praise fills our hearts as we rejoice together in the move made by Sister Roxanne Hill last Sunday evening. Having attended our services for several weeks, she came forward at the close of the service saying that she had asked the Lord to take control in every area of her life. Then she asked the church for Scriptural baptism -- expressing a desire to walk with the Lord in a life of service. Time for the baptismal service will be announced in the near future.
    Let us continue to work, pray, witness and expect the Lord to bless abundantly. He is neither dead nor indifferent to the cries of His people!

    Next issue we hope to carry more articles of a devotional nature.

    The following series of pictures were taken at Santa Cruz do Rio Pardo during the ordination of Bro. Waldemar de Souza to the office of deacon. They were taken and sent to the CLARION HERALD by Bro. Edgar R. Potter -- our missionary in Brazil.

    Bro. Waldemar -- giving his personal testimony of Christian experience as Bro. Don Ross looks on.

    Missionary pastor Steve Montgomery, laying hands on the candidate as Bro. Helmut of the Villa Espanhola church in Sao Paulo awaits his turn.

    Our regular quarterly business meeting, postponed because of our revival services being in progress, is scheduled for this Saturday, October 27, at 7:00 P.M. Let every member make a special effort to be present!

    Bro. Potter requests the prayers of brethren in behalf of the Santa Cruz work. He writes: "The devil is working hard to destroy the testimony of this church, as he has tried so often in the past. But we go forth to the battle with faith, knowing that Christ has won the victory".
