 Here
water spins left, or counterclock- wise as it drains from
bathtubs. But my High School physics teacher said that in
Australia it would spin right, or clockwise. Well, we shall see!
(Assuming I use a bathtub.)
My
meeting schedule for 1971 calls for one meeting in Launceston,
Tas.; two in Melbourne, Vic..; one in Wagga Wagga, Wollongong,
Sydney, Newcastle, Armidale, and Lismore, N.S.W.; and in
Bundaberg, Rockhampton, Emerald, and perhaps another in
Queensland. This will require 14 weeks in Australia.
I
return to the States for meetings in Sparks, Nev.; Santa Clara
and Santa Rosa, Cal.; Tucson, Ariz.; and Lubbock, Tex. before
getting home. Go then to Nashville, Tenn.; Decatur, Ga.;
Birmingham, Ala.; then to Brady, W. Columbia, Bridge City,
Houston, Sinton, and Austin, Tex. Then off to Indianapolis,
Ind.; St. Louis, and St. James, Mo.; Mulvane, Ks.; then west to
San Diego, Garden Grove, and Gardena. Cal., and Glendale, Ariz.
During
the Australian trip Plain Talk will be edited by bro. Joe Fitch
and articles will be by bros. Fitch, Jim Everett, and Dan
Shipley — along with a few of my own. These are good men, and
you have had proof of their capable writing in past issues. If I
come home to find myself out of a job in

this field, you will have gained. The
paper will continue to be published by the Oaks—West church of
Christ, as part of their teaching program, available to all who
request it, free of charge. Address correspondence to same as
always— my home office, shown in block at right.
We
plan to write several reports on the Australian trip, with
emphasis on the cause of Christ there, when experience has
provided information. Now, however, we must be content with
expressing our sincere thanks to the saints who have made this
trip possible. The Seligman. Ariz. church (5 members) and bro.
Ted Bollier, Phoenix, started the fund. Ted contacted other
Phoenix members, who further helped me; and Central church,
Beaumont, Tex., picked up a large deficit just prior to
ticket-buying time. The Oaks—West church, Burnet, supplies
almost half of my weekly support; and I will use some of my own
funds, put aside for such purposes. Individual reports and
thanks are, of course, sent to each donor.
Vivian
will remain in Burnet while I am away — this is not a vacation
trip, as thirteen one-week meetings
in fourteen weeks will indicate. I
am a little frightened by the responsibility of the whole thing.
Pray that I may serve my Lord
acceptably.
