ner died and the paper passed into the
hands OF Byrum, his brother, y. H
Byrum. and other believers in Church
Of God doctrines who were ready 10
spend their lives in a labor OF love.
The members Of the new company
agreed TO publish the Gospel Trumpet,
all live as family and devote all
money above expenses to the spread
ing of a printed gospel. They would
send out free tracts. The movement
began with four or five persons living
a life Of sacrifice for the gospel-spread-
ing cause. All lived beBcath the same
roof and the expense was paid out of
a general fund. From the four or five
toilers at Grand Junction the work
has now expanded TO a great family.
Grand Junction was soon outgrown by
the gOspel-spreading establishment,
and it was removed TO AIoundsvilIe. w.
Va. There a large publishing house
was built The Gospel Trumpet family
grew steadily. So did the business Of
the institution. Believers in their doc
trine not only sent subscriptions for
the Gospel Trumpet, but also sent
funds for the furtherance of tract dis
tribution into all parts Of the world.
To get into full touch with the world
wide work his happy family was IN
dertaking. Editor Byrum made a tour
of the world. going into the very heart
of midas famine-stricken region. He
preached among the head-hunters and
plunged into the worlds darkest

each passing year.
The Grand Junction family of five
became a Moundsville family of more
than hundred, al working for moth
ing except board, clothing and the
glory of the thing. The company built
large auditorium in which to hold
religious services. It also conducted
campmeeting each summer People
came from all over the United States
TO attend the campmeetings. Mission
aries of the Church of God jourueyed
across seas TO tell of their experiences
in the land of the Mohammedan and
other pagans.
And still the acorn grew-it outgrew
Moundsville. The company decided
that II wanted to get nearer the center
of population, too. So it began nego-
tiations for a location at Anderson and
the deal was closed that brought the
Gospel Trumpet back TO Indiana.
When the MoUndsville citizens heard
that the family was TO move TO Indiana
they began telling dOleful tales about
