in progress in this city. The tw,
Methodist churches, Asbury an,
Trinity, have combined their re
sources and membership in this spe
cial endeayor for the spiritual goot
of the community. Rev. Ralph l.
Johnson, general evangelist of tn,
Methodist Church, residing in Nash
vile, Tenn, has been secured to leaC
In this enterprise. Perhaps the one
word that best describes the evan.
gelist, is versatility. He not only
breaches but is an accomplished mu-
sician, playing the piano, pipe-orgar
and vibra-harp. He also directs the
music for the revival and presents
the vocal and instrumental features
of the campaign. Mr.. johnson is a
product of two conservatories and
holds degree from one of them.
The campaign lacks all stereotyped
methods that may have been used
for the evangelist is not convention
al. He is truly different. In addition
to the preaching and the music he
also conducts special meetings Cor
the children and youth and possesses
the only copyrighted young peoples
program in America. He has with
him more then $4,000 worth of equip
ment which is used largely for the
work among the young people and
children. These programs are COM
prehensive and appeal to certain age
groups. For instance, in the chill
dren's meetings he does magic and
sleight of hand and shows sound mo-
tion pictures to the kiddies in addi-
tion to the music and gospel sermon
preached to their understanding and
in their vocabulary. The same inter-
est and program is arranged for the
high school youth. And if you shake
your head and say he is too uncon-
ventional, he'll thank you The Rev.
johnson considers that a compli-
ment. He is not a sensationalist, but
is truly different.
