does not possess. Daily commit­ ment of facilities, staff and mes­ sage is a must in the maintenance of such a ministry. It is a dreadful but thrilling re­ sponsibility to be thus engaged of God to operate the only full­ time Christian radio voice in a region and a great metropolitan area for nearly eight years now in the northeast Florida area. Our range encompasses not on ly greater Jacksonville, but also most major highways entering tourist- beseiged Florida. Here Wayradio is first on the dial at 550 and our opportunity of service is immeas­ urable. RADIO STATION WMPC R e m a r k a b l e has been the story of faithful ministry concern­ ing one of America’s oldest Chris­ tian radio stations, WMPC, La­ peer, Michigan. The facility was founded in 1926 by the Rev. Frank S.

Usual interest in spiritual things is somewhat on a popula­ tion percentage basis, and for this cause the large metropolitan de­ posits o f humanity are prime tar­ gets for one’s labors. The effi­ ciency of a far-reaching low fre­ quency, utilizing total licensed power by employing quality elec­ tronic equipment and program­ ming the right message can, when immersed in the super-plus ele­ ment of HOLY SPIRIT adminis­ tration, produce results far in ex­ cess o f operations having equal physical properties.
