Hardin-Simmons volunteers show
neighbors 'we care' about the communityABILENE–Hardin-Simmons University faculty, staff and students recently put on their work clothes and walked across the street from the Abilene campus to paint a neighbor's house.
The “Good Samaritan” project developed from a relationship the university's Neighborhood Enhancement Program Coordinator Linda Carleton developed with Rebecca Deatherage, a retired social worker who owns the house.
In conjunction with Abilene's Connecting Caring Communities Program, Deatherage is the first Caring Partner to be identified in the HSU neighborhood.
Robert Hamner, senior professor of English and humanities at Hardin-Simmons University, prepares window trim for painting a Hardin-Simmons University neighbor's house as part of the university's Neighborhood Enhancement Program and as a way of saying "we care" to neighborhood residents.

TEXAS BAPTIST FORUM:
Confessional questionsLee R. Scarborough, the second president of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, was one of the most trusted and respected leaders among Texas and Southern Baptists during the first half of the 20th century.
E-mail the editor at marvknox@baptiststandard.com At a time of crisis in the Northern Baptist Convention, he wrote: “I join Paul, Spurgeon, Wayland, Mabie, Broadus, Carroll and the heavenly hosts of other departed leaders, Mullins, Truett, Gray, Love, DeMent, Cree, Groner, Porter, McDaniel, Strong, Laws, Massee, and the host of others like them in the South and in the North in a wholehearted subscription to a Baptist confession of faith and want my life, time, talent and money to count alone for the propagation of these truths.”
His statement is further evidence that Baptists have normally held that it is proper for them to frame, publish and adhere to confessions of faith. That question should be settled.
