In reference to District meetings, YADs, etc.; in the last issue we promised to tell you a little more pertaining to the editor's work. This week, however, we can forsee that, with the overly large amount of material, we will cut out some of our editorial in ;deference to letters, reports, etc. We see again that youth letters and necrology will have to wait one more week. The only thing we will mention here about the editor's included work is that Sundays April 16, Hillje, 200plus miles, April 23, Seymour, 200 plus miles, and April 30 will be Robstown, 350-plus miles. Altogether, the editor has to figure approximately 36 Sundays a year taken up with the work. You can believe that the miles add up on your auto! Monday morning, April 17th — Although very busy, we were happy to spend a few minutes with Brother and. Sister Sarge and Harriette Allison of Houston, who were on their way to Fort Worth.
