AS an evangelist, DR.. French E. Oil
yer ranks with Sunday, Chapman and
Torrey Wherever he goes thousands
flock to hear him. He is different
from most evangelists. He does not
preach sermons; he delivers lectures,
believing that the mission of the evan
gelist is to give out intellectual as
well as moral and spiritual inspection
and reformation With all his logic
and philosophical reasoning, he is
thoroughly evangelical and delightful
ly humorous. AS convincing speak
er, he Is second to none.
DR.. Oliver is a man of splendid
presence and striking personality and
is six feet four inches tall
Two noted singers will accompany
DR.. Oliver and a local chorus of four
hundred voices will be organized.
Something of the wonderful per-
sonality of DR. Oliver can best be
conveyed to the Twin Falls people by
the following excerpts from the Ken
ia Gazette, of Ohio, in which city DR..
Oliver is just closing meetings.

Three times DR.. Oliver addressed

The great feature of the day was the
afternoon meeting for men only.
