Miss Lulu Mclean, Here
Since Last Tuesday, Has
Visited 1856 Cities in the
United States

Perhaps you have noticed on the
downtown streets Of Atlanta during
the last few days a little, gray-hair-
Ell woman, dressed entirely in black,
who carried aloft black banner, on
which was emblazoned in big white
letters some striking verse or pas
sage from the Holy Scriptures.
That woman was Miss Lulu Nc.
Lean, who, for the last four years,
has been carrying that banner
through the country. Into cities
and hamlets-1S6 of them--in the
United States and Canada, she has
gone, preaching everywhere her 81
lent sermon and warning people to
repent.
Last Tuesday morning she ar
rived in Manufacturing here from
Birmingham~-and since that time
has been busy fulfilling her mission.
She has been everywhere that people
congregate in large numbers, on the
streets, in the office buildings, and
in schools, always carrying her ban
ner and distributing religious tracts
as she goes. :..-
Her story is one OF a continuous
struggle-a struggle first between
her convictions and her desires, and
struggle, second, against the pow
ers of wickedness. Miss Mclean
talked freely concerning herself and
her life work, but there is one thing
about her, she is camera shy"
When The Journal photographer
suggested that her picture be made
she resolutely refused and turned
her back.
She says that she was born in
the state Of Michigan and lived there
for a long while. She has been in
theatrical work as a violinlst ana
pianist, Llaying in orchestras and
doing concert work. But she said
that all the time she was doing this
something was urging her to stop,
warming me that it was not what I
should be doing" as shs put IL.
Finally eight years agJ- she say
that she answered the call to serve
the Lord and save up all of her mus1-
cal work, going into missionary work
in the larger cites. She Joined the
Moody church in Chicago, ;tnd was
active there fof long time.
"Then," she said, ""about four
years ago, the Lord told me to go
into this banner work. The call
came clearly, definitely and l could
not overcome the feeling that this
was what I should do. No person,
or organization is aiding mel am
simply doing it by myself"
She carries forty-four verses of
Scripture of a size to fit her banner.
and she changes the verses about
six times daily, Among those most
often displayed are, Prepare to Meet
Thy Cod ''Christ Jesus Came Into
the World to Save Sinners" "The
Coming Of the Lord Draweth Nigh"
"You Must Be Born Again" and
Jesus Saves"
When Miss Mclean was asked how
she lived, how she secured the ne
cessities Of life, she smiled and
quoted Philippians 4:19: But my
God shall supply all your needs &C.
cording to His riches in glory by
Christ Jesus" ST trust in God for
everything" she explained. Some
times / don't know where things
are coming from, but he has never
failed me yet" s-..
She doesn't know how long she
will be here, saying that she will
remain until the Lord tells her to
move on. II trust to Him to direct
me-" she said. HE tells me where
to go and provides for me-"
what do you 1nean?" she was
asked.
Cali Christians will know what I
mean" she replied. II can't explain
it, I simply trust, and when I have
feeling that T should do something
T do it. It is only Gods grace that
has enabled me to do this at ALL"
