tion) The Blessed Hope-(Redemp-
ton. AS you listen on this radio re-
vival you might be interested to know
something about him. Mr.. J. q. Dren
nan, Woodruff, South Carolina, said,
81 have been intimately associated
with Mr.. Willis in his work for years
(having supplied for him) and I know
him to be fundamentally sound in all
of the great doctrines of the New Tes-
lament. He is one of the few minis
tiers of my acquaintance that preach
es and teaches the Holy Spirit from
Heaven-the Gospel of the living
Christ"
Rev. w. M. Gerald, pastor First
Baptist Church, Clyde, N. c., said OF
him. Gust this word to say that l
have known Rev. D. E. Willis, for ten
years or more and I have found him
to be a high toned Christian gentle
man, well qualified, deeply spiritual
minister of the Gospel"
DR.. W. C. Allen, Editor of The Bap-
fist Courier of South Carolina, Green
vile, S. c., said, "He is.a native OF
this section of South Carolina, a grad
uate of Carson-Newman College, JEFF
ferson City, Tenn, and the Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary, Louis
vile, Ky. He has served as pastor in
Maryland and here in South Carolina,
and has done good work at these
places. You will note from the above
that he has had splendid opportuni-
ties from the standpoint of training
and experience, and should be well
qualified for the pastorate. He is
young enough to be active and thor
oughly identified with the young peo-
pie, and yet old enough to be settled
and stable in the passionate. I think
he would be found Jealous and faith
full in any position he would under
take. understand that Mrs. Willis
has had training at the w. M. U. Train
ing School, Louisville, KY, and is also
a splendid church worker, and is a
distinct force in the Sunday School
and Missionary departments of the
Church.
81 am glad to write in behalf of
Brother Willis and heartily commend
him to you.".

every state in the South, but one and
many in the North and in all kinds
Of churches from the smallest to the
largest and the poorest to the richest
and have met all kind of preachers
and regard brother Willis as an ex-
eellent preacher and mixer and one Of
the most energetic and ambitious for
the Lords work of any preacher with
whom I have labored. Speaking in
the parlence of the day he is "hust-
ler," "a live WIRE"

taken his courses in Mars Hill Col

the Book, of ability, leader of dis
tinction and pastor worthy Of imita-
ton. He has a way of getting his
membership to work and more of
them than any one before him where
he has labored. He lives with the
people and they believe in him and fol-
low him. I have no hesitancy in COM
mending him to you and your good

ing along with Brother Willis in col

ed and kind, sweet spirited and low
Able,. apt and amiable. She is loved
by all and great helper to her pas
tor. I commend both Of them to you
