BROWN, coMMoN-sENsE EVANGELIST

John Edward Brown is filling Central Union
church because he is an evangelist of power
and simplicity, and with few of the methods
to which the average non-church member OBJ
jects as playing to sensation.
To the older generation, his talks are re-
mindful of the preachers of some decades ago,
who were not afraid to mention hell and the
devil frequently and pointedly, and who dealt
little with theology and a great deal with the
hopes and fears and sorrows and joys and
bassions and aspirations of the human heart.
TO the younger generation, he speaks as one
Who really yearns to help others to Christian
He He speaks as big brother who has found
b path and wishes to aid others in finding it.
His message is not surrounded by polished
phrases or borne on the wings of gilded
rhetoric, but it has crude eloquence which to
the average audience is more convincing and
bore permanently implanted.
IA great many Honolulans have said, "Oh
Int believe in these evangelist fellows. All
Yey do is to appeal to the emotions"
browns appeal is less to emotion than to
mmon-sense and decent sense. 1t is pity
at more of the non-church goers who ''don t
feve in these evangelist fellows" do not go
hear Brown. He doesn t fit the type they
in mind, He would be a genuine surprise
