of. He spoke in Blackfoot Tuesday
and Wednesday, and from there he
went to LeGrande, Oregon, where he
will lecture in the interests of World
Evangelism.
The pastor was to have attended the
missionary convention at Blackfoot On
Tuesday and Wednesday, but deferred
his going that he might assist in the
patriotic demonstration on Tuesday
afternoon.
