I appreciate so muoh your la·tter. It was a most considerate thing to post me on what to expect in the way of the business meeting with the brethren. I shall be prepared to present an accurate picture or the present abilities and responsibilities or the Radford congregation. It could well spell financial disaster for the church here or for me; however I shall have "bhe whole picture before me to present upon arrival there. The church there has been exceedingly good to us here and we are deeply grate:f.'u.lo I have from the start held the hope of a congregation completely on its feet and self-support-ing within five wars from the date of beginning. Other congregations in these parts have beea supported two to three times longer, and some still be1·llelped. We shall be two and one half years of age the first of July. In that time we shall have paid off near $13.ooo.oo and have better than $17,000 to pay besides finishing the rest of' the basement ceiling and rooms (f'ive to be partitioned and finished). We have four rooms in use. The only way that I 08.n see for this church to be completely self-supporting and able to carry on its work in the five years is for others to stand by us during that time• else we shall be much longer in reaching that desired goal of being a helper as we have been and are being helped. One of our good members has bean without work for several months• others are on three and four days. We have been amazed and pleased the way the congregation has come through on finances to date. My sincere appreciation to you for the letter. I hope that I shall be able to get the picture before the brethren in its true light. and the rest shall be up to them and the lord. With every good wish for you and yours, and for the whole of the church, I am I Chr~ C ( ,1,!)cr, 'tf2£?4 >, vi.b . W1 er Sr "Where Christ and Christians meet"
