Missionary Coming

The Rev. Day Carper, Presbyterian missionary of Bakwanga, Belgian Congo, Africa, will visit the Oak Grove Church in Hillsboro. Mr. Carper’s church in Africa is near the world’s largest diamond mine and the operators reluctantly agreed to let the couple come into that section. Twenty months later they built him a church which seats 600 and is considered to be one of the most beautiful in the world. Mr. Carper is a native of Lewisburg and is a member of Greenbrier Presbytery. His wife is a medical missionary.
