heart. Eleven years ago, five weeks after his
marriage, Jack developed sore jaw that didn't
heal-and went to see his dentist.
That began the chain of events that led to
the diagnosis of bony tumor in the left jaw.
In September, 1850, Jack was admitted to Uni.
versity Hospital in Columbus, for surgery.
His doctors verdict
Jacks doctor writes: "Since then, he has been
rechecked at intervals and he has remained
free of the disease. At the present time, he is
able to carry out his normal activities, and
shows no further evidence of tumor."
What are Jack Oelker's normal activities?
Very much the same as yours and mine The
Oelkers like basketball games and picnics.
They bowl.
The three Oelker girls, Susan, age 8, Sandra,
age 6, and Carol Ann. age 4, have their father
with them today because Jack Oelker acted
promptly at the FIRST sign Of a danger signal
and was properly treated in time.

out into the world quickly to win
souls for Jesus. Lord send us a
revival and let it begin with me"
