Jimmie Hollandsworth. “Once an unde veloped nation she is today a mo del to the hemisphere."

He will tell about his work on Nov. 23 at the First Presbyterian Church in Clinton at 11 a.m. For eight and a half years, Mr. Hollandsworth has been en gaged in evangelism and church planting, helping establish six churches.
