DIR. Frank G. Smith is pastor OF
the Warren Avenue Congregations
Church in Chicago, and is often call
ed "the greatest of Chicago's preach
ers. He is more than that-he is an
orator, a great thinker, a man with a

poetic feeling. who ranges the gamut
of human emotions yet relieves its
stress by frequent flashes of wit and
humorous anecdotes.
L. b. Wickersham comes from Iowa

pulpit he is a great preacher on the

tor, preacher, a prince of popular lee
turers." His lectures are strikingly
original, built each around some fun

charm from his rich musical voice and
dramatic delivery. His popularity in

delivered over LOO lectures and spe-

filed the greatest number of return
