world famous evangelist who the
first week in January began a union
revival meeting at Deming, has the
distinction of having recently con-
Quoted a campaign at Dewey and
Bartlesville, Oklahoma, that is herald
ed as the greatest evangilistic work
in the states history. In the two
campaigns 1920 persons went over
the top" at the gospel invitations,
$50 tithers' covenants were signed,
10 young men volunteered for life
religious work and nearly 10000 peo-
pie attended the various meetings.

according to report. He breaches a
straight forward, clean cut kind OF
religion that appeals particularly to
men, if the personnel of the con-
yerts in his recent campaigns is an
index 10 those he moves most. He
has preached the gospel around the
world and has been one of the fa-
nous figures in the eyangislistic field
for twenty years.
