A reformed coal miner, with his
wife and family of children, is hold
ing meetings on the street at night
and attracting a crowd with bass
drum and debilitated brass horn.
The preacher states that he is also a
reformed gambler, drunkard and
cigarette smoker, and that he has
sworn off drinking $4,000 times. The
