estimated by themselves at 90

Acclaimed as the "Outstand-
ing Gospel Singer of the Day,"
Rev. Woodhouse thrilled an i'm
menSe audience at Columbus
Avenue AME Zion Church,
Boston. He presented a pro-
gram entirely different from
any concert that Boston has
ever had the pleasure of listen
ing to. With his original i'll
terpretationS and maSterful
dramatization of Gospel songs,
his entire audience was in
spired. Although he asked
his mixed audience not to APP
plaud, his listeners became so
inspired that they seemingly
could not refrain from doing
so. Rev. Woodhouse said that
God called him to preach the
Gospel, and that he intends to
devote the voice that God has
given him~to sing whenever and

wherever he is asked to do SO,
for the upbuilding of GODS

The unusual feature in Rev.
Woodhouse's voice is that he
sings perfectly the four male
voices with a perfectly blend
ing falcetto. Several of the
larger churches, both white
and colored, will present Rev.
WoodhouSe in concert. Mrs.

DR.. WALTER o. TAYLOR,
says; I have know Rev. Enoch
o. Woodhouse, better known as
Gods Ambassador Of Song, for
twenty years. AS young man
in his early teens, I detected
in him an unusual ability to

I have had the honor of teach
