Baptists Appoint Re A v. And Mrs. Ralph W. Harrell To Serve As Missionary Team In East Africa The Rev. and Mrs. Ralph W ‘ Harrell of Louisville, Ky., were appointed missionaries to East . Africa at the recent Baptist As sembly in Ridgecrest, N. C. Their appointments were among 19 made by the Southern Bap tist Foreign Mission Board'at a special meeting which opened the week-long Foreign Missions Conference. A native of Chowan County, Mr. Harrell is the son of Mrs. Webb W. . Harrell of Route 3, Edenton. He received the bache lor of arts degree from Wake Forest College, and the bachelor of divinity degree from South ern Baptist Theological Semin ary, Louisville. He is pastor of Clifton Heights Baptist Church, Louisville, where he has served since February, 1955. He had formerly served the church as choir director and youth worker. He has also been ‘ pastor of New Liberty Baptist ■ Church, Henryville, Ind., and as sistant pastor and educational di ' rector of First Baptist Church, Hamlet, N. C. He worked the Sunday School department of the North Carolina Baptist Con vention for two summers. Mr. Harrell said there were many influences which brought him to the decision that God wanted him in foreign mission service. “In the study of the Bible I was able to see the mis sionary message and purpose,” lie said. “In my friendship with •.missibnaries I became aware of the increasing need for more workers overseas. Through chapel speakers I came face to face with the responsibility of more ministers to answer the call to serve on the foreign mis sion field.” Last fall Mr. Harrell heard a sermon pointing out how - few missionaries there are abroad and how many Southern Baptist pas tors there are in the States. The preacher posed the problem of 10 men trying to lift a log, nine on one end and one on the oth er. He asked, “If you wanted to help, which end would you help lift?” “I had heard challenges of a similar nature many times be fore,” Mr. Harrell said, ~ “but this - timg I felt that was, speaking to, me personally. I offered myself for missionary ap pointment.” Mrs. Harrell, the former Rosa lind Knott of Granville County, is the twin of Mrs. Hugh T. McKinley, who was recently ap pointed a Southern Baptist mis sionary to Spain. She received the bachelor of arts degree fitom Meredith College, Raleigh, and attended Woman’s Missionary Union Training School (now Car ver School of Missions and So cial Work), Louisville, and South ern Seminary. She taught eighth grade in the public schools of Rockingham, N. C„ for a year and substitut ed in the Louisville junior and JULY CLEARANCE SALE!

Mrs. Harrell said that when she accepted Christ as her Sav iour at the age of nine she rea lized that she should serve Him. During the following years she came to feel that her place of service was the foreign mission field. Mr. and Mrs. Harrell have two children, Ralph Stephen, four j and a half, and Beverly Jean,. one. The 19 young people appoint ed for overseas service at the June meeting of the Board bring the total number of active South ern Baptist foreign missionaries to 1,233. Roads To Harvey Point Promised Continued From Page 1. Section 1 Mr. Babcock stated that the new roads will be constructed with some type of limited access, but that specific design and loca tion characteristics will depend upon aerial photographs and ground surveys. At present the bridge at Hert ford prevents passage of heavy loads over the Hertford-Harvey Point road, so that access to the base must be made over the road leading from U. S. 17 through Bethel. Load limit restrictions on this road were recently lifted al though highway officials are of the opinion that the road will not stand up and that repairs will be necessary until adequate roads are ready for use. It was pointed out to highway officials that the Navy Depart ment plans to spend from 40 to 50 million dollars on the Harvey Point base and Lieut. Cemdr. Donald F. Dalton, resident officer in charge of construction at the base, said about 11 million dol lars in construction contracts have already been awarded and that others will be let later in the year. Comdr. Dalton also intimated that' there is a possibility of a Capehart housing project in the vicinity of Light Nixon Fork. He oat that probably as many as 2,500 military personnel will be stationed at the base and that eventually about 7,000 per sons will depend upon the base.
